JVC expands Bi-METAL headphone series featuring brass and steel sound technology WAYNE, NJ, March 27, 2008 – JVC today announced the addition of a new high-end model to its line of Bi-METAL in-ear canal headphones. The new JVC HA-SX500 achieves high quality sound by employing JVC’s original Bi-METAL structure and a new large 16mm neodymium driver unit, offering greater power handling and sensitivity.

JVC’s Bi-METAL structure is designed to enhance performance across the frequency range by housing the drive unit in a steel base wrapped in a high-specific-gravity brass ring to eliminate vibration and energy loss. The HA-SX500 also offers a vast reduction in friction noise. The headphones feature flexible rubber joints, reducing friction noise while increasing comfort, and use OFC (oxygen-free copper) to minimize transmission loss in the 0.8 meter friction noise reduction cord.

The lightweight HA-SX500 headphones are designed to provide a comfortable and secure fit while delivering superior isolation from external sounds and minimizing sound leakage. The ergonomic silicon rubber earpieces come in three sizes to provide snug, customized sizing, supported by a cushioned metallic foldable headband for a secure fit and hours of comfort. A number of convenient accessories complete the package, such as a 0.7m extension cord and a handy carrying case. In addition, the HA-SX500 offers a plug that is compatible with Apple’s iPhone.

The JVC HA-SX500 super-slim headphones will be available in April for $79.95.

Sennheiser’s MX W1 wireless earphones are truly exciting because they provide a glimpse at what I hope is the future of wireless audio: Kleer technology. For the first time, Kleer’s wireless audio technology has been implemented in a quality product. (RCA was the first to use Kleer in its S2501 Jet Stream MP3 player last year, but it was a poorly conceived product with such lousy earbuds that there was no way to tell whether the technology behind it was any good.) The verdict: Kleer sounds fantastic with the MX W1. I’m convinced that true audiophiles won’t be able to tell the difference between these and wired earphones. Sure, at $600, they’re much too expensive—and that’s part of what keeps us from giving them a higher rating—but here’s hoping that more manufacturers follow suit and that Kleer takes off.

Listen to high-quality digital audio from almost any music player without dealing with cumbersome cables with the Saitek A-350 wireless headphones. Sporting a wireless range of 32 feet, the stylish headphones are ideal for commuting, working out in the basement rec room, or listening to a movie soundtrack while the kids are asleep in the next room. More importantly, the headphones produce crisp, rich sound thanks to the neodymium in-ear drivers and the wireless Bluetooth technology, which eliminates such annoyances as interference and signal loss. To use the headphones, merely plug the transmitter’s standard 3.5 mm plug into your audio device’s headphone jack, and it will transmit the signal wirelessly to the headphones from across the room.

The A-350 headphones are designed for maximum comfort, with several different sizes of behind-the-neck spacers for people with different head shapes. The spacers connect the left- and right-side earbuds by slotting into the grooves at their bases. And to cut down on waste, Saitek added an ultra-lightweight, rechargeable lithium-polymer battery to the phones, with an estimated battery life of six hours per charge. Other details include an on/off switch and an independent volume control.

Amazon’s ugly-as-hell prototype e-Book reader will make landfall—in sleeker form, one hopes—on Monday or Tuesday next week.

An attendant marketing blitz involving “a dozen media partners” will hit town at the same time, according to an anonymous source talking to Gizmodo. Why the Kindle? It’s the machine’s EVDO modem that’s getting the attention, a big feature that lifts it above and beyond competition like Sony’s popular Reader.

Pricing, compatibility and availability will crown or kill the Kindle. Anyone want to bet against it being an overpriced monthly sub on top of a giant up-front tag, with everything hooked into a nightmare labyrinth of DRM? Yes, cynical. But there is always hope.
