Description
The INTOPIC JAZZ-i117 stands out in the entry-level audio market by replacing standard plastic components with a lightweight, precision-machined aluminum alloy body. This metallic construction not only enhances the physical durability of the earphones but also provides a stable acoustic chamber for the internal 9.2mm NdFeB (Neodymium) drivers. By utilizing high-strength magnets, the JAZZ-i117 achieves a balanced sound profile with a frequency response ranging from 20Hz to 20,000Hz, ensuring that both deep bass notes and high-frequency details are rendered with clarity. The gold-plated 3.5mm connector ensures a stable, low-resistance signal path to minimize audio degradation during transmission.
This product is for:
- Daily commuters who require a reliable, battery-free audio solution for long transit times.
- Students and budget-conscious users looking for a durable metal-housed earphone that outlasts plastic alternatives.
- iPhone and iPad users with 3.5mm ports (or adapters) who need full three-button remote functionality for volume and playback.
- Remote professionals seeking a clear, omnidirectional condenser microphone for stable voice calls and video conferencing.
- Mobile gamers who prioritize zero-latency wired audio over Bluetooth connections to ensure perfect synchronization.

User comfort is addressed through the inclusion of skin-friendly, soft silicone ear tips designed to create a secure seal within the ear canal. This physical seal provides passive noise isolation, allowing the 95dB sensitivity drivers to perform optimally even in moderately noisy environments. The integrated inline controller is positioned for easy access, featuring tactile buttons that provide physical feedback when adjusting volume or toggling calls. For iOS users, the remote supports single-click for play/pause, double-click for the next track, and triple-click for the previous track, making it a highly functional accessory for the Apple ecosystem.
When compared to standard plastic-housed earphones in the same price bracket, the INTOPIC JAZZ-i117 offers superior structural integrity and resonance control due to its aluminum alloy build. While many budget headsets utilize 6mm or 8mm drivers, the JAZZ-i117’s 9.2mm neodymium drivers provide a larger diaphragm surface area, resulting in a more rounded and less tinny sound profile. Unlike basic one-button headsets, the JAZZ-i117 includes dedicated volume rockers, providing more granular control over the listening experience without needing to reach for the source device.
Q&A:
- Does the volume control work on all smartphones? The volume and track selection functions are fully compatible with iOS; however, functionality on Android devices may vary depending on the specific manufacturer's hardware mapping.
- Is the microphone suitable for outdoor calls? Yes, the omnidirectional condenser microphone is designed to capture clear voice audio, though it is best used in environments without extreme wind noise.
- What accessories are included in the package? The earphones come with two additional sets of silicone ear tips in different sizes to ensure a customizable and comfortable fit.
- Can these earphones be used for sports? While the aluminum body is durable, these are designed for general daily use; the silicone tips are removable and washable to maintain hygiene after long periods of wear.
- How does the 3.5mm gold-plated plug benefit the user? The gold plating prevents oxidation and corrosion over time, ensuring a consistent electrical connection and preventing the 'crackling' sound often associated with worn connectors.
