JVC is releasing a new high-end model to its bi-metal in-ear canal headphones – JVC HA-SX500. If you are wondering what a bi-metal headphone is? Just think of old times and try to recall those folding headphones that we used to wear to listen to our precious Sony Walkmans. Well, that’s exactly how the JVC HA-SX500 looks.

But don’t even think that this new JVC headphones is a clone of those old Sony ones. JCV is actually touting this product as a high-end addition to their bi-metal headphone lineup. By high-end it simply means that JVC has designed this headphone to produce high quality sound through a Bi-METAL structure. The HA-SX500 also reduces friction noise while increasing comfort during prolong used. Less friction noise means, better audibility.

Now for some even more good stuff, the HA-SX500 are lightweight and should fit comfortably and securely while at the same time delivering superior isolation from both external sounds and sound leakage. The headphone was designed ergonomically with silicon rubber earpiece supported by cushioned metallic foldable headband. What this simply means is you’d probably enjoy using the headphone without straining your ears that much.

And finally, as a way of responding to the sign of the times, JVC is throwing in a plug that connects the HA-SX500 with the iPhone. If you don’t mind pairing your iPhone with this old looking headphone, then be prepared to spare around $79.95 sometime this month when JVC officially released the HA-SX500.
