ONKYO's sub-brand, ANIMA, has been a hit with consumers thanks to its previous collaborations with titles like "Street Fighter 6" and "BanG Dream! MyGO!!!!!/Ave Mujica".
Now, they're back at it, announcing a fresh collab with "My Hero Academia" – celebrating its 10th anime anniversary this year – to drop a limited-edition wireless earbud series, the "AOW01 MARKII HEROACA"! These come in three distinct designs, each dedicated to fan-favorite characters Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, and Shoto Todoroki. Priced at 22,000 JPY, pre-orders are already live on ONKYO's official website.
The earbuds' design draws inspiration from each character's unique "Quirk" and signature moves. The charging cases feature exclusive representative motifs, while the earbuds themselves incorporate symbolic elements from each character along with the U.A. High School emblem. The overall aesthetic is subtle yet packed with character flair.
But wait, there's more! These collaboration earbuds come loaded with brand-new, specially recorded voice navigation. Plus, they offer two voice modes that you can freely switch between with a simple tap.
From powering on and off, successful Bluetooth pairing, and tap controls, to switching noise-canceling modes – every single function is voiced by the characters themselves! Each character boasts an impressive 54 unique voice lines, ensuring fans feel their favorite hero's presence with every use.
