- Sony has released a limited edition of LinkBuds Fit earphones in the US
- They cost $249.99 and come with exclusive goodies
- These include a cute acrylic stand with an illustration of the virtual idol
Sony has announced a new pair of limited edition earphones in collaboration with popular virtual idol Hatsune Miku.
The LinkBuds Fit Hatsune Miku Limited Edition comes with an exclusive bundle of Miku goodies, including a special acrylic earphone holder complete with cute artwork by illustrator 荻pote. If you take a closer look at the design, you’ll see Miku wearing her very own pair of LinkBuds Fit buds – which is absolutely adorable.
This is complemented by codes for a digital Hatsune Miku model and a virtual performance of the song Trust Day which you can see in glorious augmented reality (AR) via HoloModel’s smartphone app.
The song, which has music and lyrics by Vocaloid giant HarryP, was created for this Sony collaboration when it launched in Japan last summer.
Average green buds
Look at
Of course, this is big news if, like me, you want to buy literally anything that has ‘Hatsune Miku’ written on the box, but this limited edition doesn’t seem to differ from the standard buds except for the inclusion of the extra goodies.
You get the standard green colorway here, which at least sets up the idol’s iconic green hair. Still retailing at $249.99 (compared to the usual $179 / £179 / AU$348 rate) at least I would have expected some some kind of special sticker on the knobs themselves or the case to distinguish them.
If you choose to invest in this limited edition release, you’re at least getting a capable music listening tool for your money. We consider them to be some of the best workout headphones out there, with our Sony LinkBuds Fit review praising both its bold sound and cute, lightweight design.
You could certainly choose worse headphones to blast your ears with The world is mine while lifting weights at the gym.
The limited edition earphones are now exclusively available via Sony’s website.
