JVC announced a slate of new Bluetooth headphones
today, with the goal of expanding its 2017 lineup of wireless headphones
to include a wider range of styles. To that end, the company has
introduced five new pairs of headphones, all of which share equally
confusing names: the Marshmallow HA-FX39BT, the HA-ET50BT, the
HA-EC30BT, the HA-S190BT, and the HA-S90BT.
The Marshmallow HA-FX39BT is the first wireless version
of the company’s Marshmallow line of headphones, offered in a neckband
form factor for $49.95.

The HA-ET50BT and the HA-EC30BT are sports-focused — the
former a pair of in-ear headphones, the later an ear clip model — and
offer water resistance and a magnetic clip to hold the headphones
together when not in use. The HA-ET50BT cost $79.95, while the HA-EC30BT
will set you back $59.95.
When it comes to on-ear headphones, JVC has the
HA-S190BT, which comes in five colors and will cost $49.95.
Incidentally, that also sums up basically everything we know about them.

And lastly, there’s the company’s $149.95 flagship
HA-S90BT model, which offer noise canceling. Unlike the other models,
JVC actually gave a few details on battery life: the company claims that
the HA-S90BT gets 20 hours of music with noise cancelation over
Bluetooth, 24 hours over Bluetooth with noise cancelation turned off,
and up to 40 hours when used as wired headphones without noise
cancelation. Yes, if you use them as wired headphones, they still need
to be charged.
Beyond that, JVC isn’t offering much in the way of actual
hard specifications for any of the headphone models beyond price, but
given the relatively budget nature of all the models, you’re likely
picking up a pair for monetary reasons rather than auditory.
