 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.

 Akihabara News snagged a bunch of pics of some new headphones from Victor-JVC: the Gumy Phones. The sleeves/earpiece/rubber thinger is made out of foam, just like an earplug. They come in eight colors: Blue Mint, Black, Melon Green, Pink, Red, Silver, White, and Purple.
In terms of specs, Victor-JVC clocks the Gumy Phones at a 20Hz-20kHz frequency response, a 16Ω impedance, and a 105dB sensitivity.
For spatial reasons, we've crammed the rest of the pictures here.

JVC Victor has come out with a new inexpensive over-ear option, called the HP-S150. This sporty pair of cans is available in red, white, black, and blue. Other than the coloration information, we can tell you the frequency response should stretch from 12Hz to 23kHz, the impedance should be 32Ω, and the sensitivity should fall around 105dB.

 JVC has recently announced a pair of collapsible band, in-ear headphones. These headphones, dubbed HA-SX500, keep their driver in a steel base, which is enclosed by a "high-specific-gravity brass ring." Through it's JVC-branded black magic, this setup -- which includes no less than two (2) different metals -- will apparently help eliminate vibration and energy loss, while also reducing friction noise. The effectiveness of this nonwithstanding, the headphones do look neat. They'll be available later on this month for $79.95.
There are a couple other, larger pictures after the jump.
