JVC Kenwood Adds "Indigo Blue" to "WOOD master" True Wireless Earphones

JVCKENWOOD Corporation will release "Indigo Blue" as a new color for its "WOOD master" true wireless earphones, which feature a "wood" diaphragm, under the Victor brand in early July.

The "WOOD master" is a flagship model that achieves the highest sound quality in Victor wireless earphone history by faithfully reproducing sound across all bands with its "Hybrid WOOD Driver." Its design, inspired by high-end musical instruments, emphasizes color and texture, and has been highly acclaimed by high-end users since its release in November 2025, with two existing color variations: "Sunburst Brown" and "Piano Black."

The newly added "Indigo Blue" is a popular color used in instruments such as guitars and drum sets, combining a calm depth with a sense of coolness. It will be added to the lineup as a new color that evokes the design of "WOOD master," reminiscent of the "tiger stripe" grain found on guitars.

As a new color that enhances the "WOOD master" design concept inspired by high-end musical instruments, we have added "Indigo Blue," a popular color used in various instruments such as guitars, basses, and drum sets. The "Indigo Blue," a shade of indigo that combines calm depth and coolness, is used, along with a design that expresses beautiful grain patterns reminiscent of the "tiger stripe" on guitars.

Additionally, the charging case features a cool silver metal part engraved with the iconic "dog mark" of the Victor brand as a single accent. This creates a sophisticated color scheme in contrast with the indigo blue of the earphones.
