Medium green buds
Look
Of course, this is great news if, like me, you buy literally anything with ‘Hatsune Miku’ written on the box, but this limited edition doesn’t seem to differ from the standard headphones, aside from the inclusion of those extras.
Here you get the standard green color, which at least aligns the idol’s iconic green hair. Still, with an RRP of $249.99 (compared to the usual $179 / £179 / AU$348). rate) would have expected at least some A kind of special sticker on the buds or on the casing itself to differentiate them.
If you decide to invest in this limited edition version, you’ll at least get a music-capable tool for your money. We consider them some of the best fitness headphones out there, and our Sony LinkBuds Fit review praises both their bold sound and cute, lightweight design.
You could certainly choose worse headphones to exploit your ears. The world is mine while lifting weights in the gym.
The limited edition headphones are now available exclusively through Sony’s website.
