July 31, 2008JVC expands Gumy line with the Airs
JVC has recently announced a new line of Gumy headphones: the Gumy Airs. So, what's changed? Well, other than appending the word, 'Air,' the new Airs look a bit more ergonomic (as you can see from the image to the right).
Other than that? Well, the press release states these headphone feature a 'large' 11mm neodymium driver, but the old ones had a 13.5mm driver. The release also says 'friction noise has been greatly reduced through the use of a 1.0 meter friction noise reduction cord.' The Airs' cord is also 0.24 inches longer than the old Gumys'. They still come in a wide variety of colors, which match the third-generation iPod Nano/Shuffle color schemes. These headphones are also priced the same as the old Gumys did at launch: $14.95 (the original Gumy headphones have since dropped to $9.95).
So, to wrap up the changes: different shape, smaller driver, fancier cord, and they cost an extra $6.
