FirstLook Alfa Genus

What I Found

A practical first look at the Rock Jaw Alfa Genus in-ear monitors, including the packaging, wood-style earbud.

The Rock Jaw Alfa Genus caught my attention because they are not just another basic pair of in-ear earbuds. These IEMs use interchangeable tuning filters, which means you can change the sound profile instead of being stuck with one factory tuning.

The short version: the Rock Jaw Alfa Genus make a good first impression overall. The earbuds themselves feel nicely made, the 90-degree headphone plug is slim enough that it should work with many phone cases, and the threaded filters feel very smooth once they are installed.
