November 28, 2007 – JVC today announced the addition of a new high-end model to its headphone line. The new JVC HA-S900 offers high quality sound reproduction in a lightweight, foldable over-the-ear headphone.

The HA-S900's performance is achieved through the use of a carbon compound diaphragm mated to a ported ring that controls the diaphragm's movement, or sound pressure level, and so provides greater detail across a wide frequency range. Further enhancing the listening experience are sound-insulating ear pads that effectively block out ambient sound while also providing a comfortable fit. Read more

November 12, 2007 – JVC today announced the addition of a new high-end model to its line of in-ear canal headphones. The new JVC HA-FX300 employs a range of sound-enhancing technologies, including an aluminum evaporation diaphragm, a new internal dual-metal structure and aluminum housing.

The new aluminum evaporation diaphragm used in the HA-FX300 reproduces high-frequency detail more accurately than conventional cellulose or polymer-based diaphragm designs. To further enhance performance, the headphone features JVC's new Bi-METAL structure -- the drive unit is housed in a stainless steel base wrapped in a high-specific-gravity brass ring to eliminate vibration and energy loss, enhancing performance across the frequency range.

September 6, 2007 – JVC today announced new in-ear headphones that use a soft cushion of air to provide a secure, comfortable fit. The new JVC HA-FX66 headphones also offer different size earpieces and come in four color choices.

JVC research shows that consumers' biggest problem with in-ear headphones is their tendency to fall out. The HA-FX66 headphones tackle that problem by using a soft silicon rubber air cushion for the earpiece body. In addition, the headphones come with three different size silicon rubber and memory foam cushion earpieces for the best possible fit. The result is an in-ear headphone that stays securely in place while remaining comfortable. What's more, the design also provides superior isolation from background noise, allowing the user to get the most out of the headphone's 8.5mm neodymium driver. Noise caused by cord movement is also minimized because of the headphone's Friction Noise Reduction Cord. vibration-proof structure. Read more

July 13, 2007 – JVC today announced the addition of a new top-end model to its line of noise canceling headphones. The new JVC HA-NC250 combines outstanding sound quality with advanced noise-canceling and isolation technologies to provide a superior listening experience.

The HA-NC250's noise cancellation circuitry includes feedback technology that constantly monitors the noise cancellation process. As a result, the headphones eliminate up to 85 percent of extraneous background noise. To further block noise, the HA-NC250 offers two JVC innovations that help isolate the listener from outside sounds. First, each earpiece employs a double housing structure for an extra sound insulation layer. Second, JVC developed a new technique for attaching the headphone's smooth memory foam cushioned ear pads to the housing that helps isolate background noise. The smooth pads also enhance comfort. These sound isolation features, for which patents have been applied, are especially important since the HA-NC250 can be used with the active noise cancellation switched off. Read more
