Following the release of last year’s award-winning Flares® PRO earphones, British brand Flare Audio now offer the affordable Flares® JET. 

Available in two models, JET 1 (RRP £49) and JET 2 (RRP £69), the  duo claim to deliver the superior sound quality only offered by some premium big budget alternatives.

Davies Roberts, founder of Flare Audio explains: “Imagine having X-ray hearing, the ability to hear ‘inside’ the music. All our products are built with the same principal in mind; we aim to make music clearer and to deliver sound to the listener with the smallest of interventions. By doing so, we remove all audible distortion, revealing detail and subtle nuances never heard before, unveiling the true feeling of a song, like a breath taken before a vocal line or fingers moving against a guitar string. As our entry market offering, Flares® JET brings this technology to a much wider audience of music lovers than ever before.” 

Having made its name as a pro audio manufacturer, providing speakers for concerts, festivals and a range of venues, Flare has already achieved quite an industry following, with big name producers, musicians and DJs acclaiming their tech. 

Flares® JET 1 is made from a high tensile polymer with a black satin finish. Flares® JET 2 is precision turned from aluminium using only the latest, state of the art, CNC machinery. Made from a stronger and sturdier material, Flares® JET 2 is the higher-grade version out of the two. 

Both models come with three sizes of silicone tips that fit the majority of ear types. Both also have mic and control capabilities and are supplied with a branded drawstring pouch. 

The Sound 

Inside each Flares® JET, high power 10mm drivers create what Flare Audio describes as “the most enveloping and immersive sound.” continuing “Bass feels unlimited with great depth and power, yet without taking over or muffling other sounds. Mid-frequencies are strong and clear, yet in total balance with every other frequency, while higher frequencies whisper around the listener without sounding harsh or overwhelming.”
