JVC Kenwood introduces Victor SP-WS10BT — a wireless universal speaker for comfortable dialogue perception without increasing volume
JVC Kenwood has expanded the Mimiraku lineup, designed for users with hearing impairments, and released a new model of wireless speakers Victor SP-WS10BT.
The device is aimed at users who find it difficult to perceive dialogues when watching television — especially the elderly, those with hearing problems, and viewers who do not want to use subtitles.
What is Known
Victor SP-WS10BT consists of two elements: a transmitter that connects to a TV via optical or analog audio input, and a portable speaker that can be placed near the user. Sound is transmitted over a 2.4 GHz digital channel with a delay of only 30 ms, which eliminates desynchronization with the image.
The speaker is equipped with a two-way acoustic system with two tweeters, one full-range speaker, and a passive radiator, while the MDF body and natural wood top panel minimize vibrations and improve sound quality.
The device supports three playback modes — Clear, Music, and Movie — as well as a Clear Voice function that enhances vocal frequencies, making speech more distinct. Thus, the user will not have to increase the overall volume of video sound.
Thanks to Bluetooth 5.4 support, the device can be connected to a smartphone or tablet. SBC and AAC codecs are supported. Switching sound from TV to Bluetooth can be done with one button. Also provided are a 3.5mm AUX input, headphone output, large physical control buttons, and automatic shutdown.
The speaker operates on a built-in battery, providing up to 15 hours of autonomous work, and charges via USB-C.
Sales of Victor SP-WS10BT will start in Japan at the end of November 2025 at a price of around $200. The model is already available for pre-order on Victor's official website and JVC Kenwood partners.
Global release has not been announced yet.
