Innovative Wireless Earbuds Incorporate Self-Healing Paint Technology
JVC Kenwood has just unveiled its latest wireless earbud model, the Victor Wood Master, boasting a unique blend of innovative features and sustainable materials. The main novelty surrounding these earbuds lies in their use of self-healing paint on the top housing, designed to minimize the visibility of exterior scratches over time.
According to JVC Kenwood, this cutting-edge technology utilizes a special polymer structure that allows the paint to reform when subjected to heat, effectively "healing" minor scratches. This concept is primarily used in the automotive industry, but its application in wireless earbuds represents a significant milestone in advancements in material science and design.
Beyond the self-healing paint feature, the Wood Master wireless earbuds incorporate wood into their construction in several ways. The new "hybrid wood driver" utilizes African rosewood and wood pulp to produce high-quality sound, according to JVC Kenwood. This proprietary technology is meant to maintain the distinctive vocal expressiveness characteristic of the company's previous wireless earbud models.
The earbuds themselves boast 10mm drivers and are available in two distinct colorways inspired by musical instruments: a sunburst pattern resembling guitar sunbursts and a black design mimicking piano keys. A leather-like charging case complements these designs, evoking the appearance of an instrument hardcase. Battery life is advertised at 7 hours with active noise cancellation enabled and up to 14 hours from the charging case.
The Victor Wood Master wireless earbuds are set to launch in Japan later this month for approximately $270.
