JVC earbud headphones offer neodymium drivers, rubber buds, $19.99
JVC on Wednesday announced two new bargain models of in-ear headphones: the HA-EBX85 and HA-FX20 All Star.
Both models feature neodymium driver units and friction noise reduction cords of 3.94 feet and 3.28 feet, respectively. The earpieces come with soft rubber ear cushions in three sizes.
The HA-EBX85 is designed for active use and is “splash proof,” held in place by a soft rubber ear hook. Inside are 0.43-in. (11mm) neodymium driver units. The HA-EBX85 is available in a choice of three colors: white, pink and purple. They come with a gold-plated, iPhone-compatible plug.
The HA-FX20 All Star headphones are for broader application and come in five colors. Inside, you’ll find 0.33-in. (8.5mm) neodymium driver units. Outside, a gold-plated iPhone-compatible plug.
The JVC HA-EBX85 sports headphones will be available in August for $19.95 and the HA-FX20 All Star headphones in September for $14.95.
