What is the correct pronunciation of 这些?

Hi,

I’ve just started learning Mandarin, and I notice the characters 这些 can sometimes be, in pinyin, ‘zhe4xie1’ or ‘zhei4xie1’, with the pronunciation apparently being interchangeable. (ie, either zhe4 (‘jeh’ sound) or zhei4 (‘jay’ sound). Does it matter which pronunciation I use?
