True wireless earbuds with a twist
Written by Ross Locksley on 19 Jun 2025
AVIOT, the dedicated Japanese electronics firm has announced two new wireless earbud products that are designed to give you great sound quality and immersion into your favourite anime brands. As a bit of a headphone fanatic myself I thought I'd share the details as I'm rather intrigued myself.
The first set of earbuds is based on AVIOT's TE-V1R, now a limited edition crossover with KizunaAI, a virtual idol who espouses the theme of connection. The design has been created in conjunction with KizunaAI, with the sound settings tweaked to maximise the attributes of her singing voice. The packaging showcases a new design by champi, while the earphones themselves incorporate KizunaAI's voice for the power and connection status, there's also an option to listen to random lines of dialogue by the virtual idol - these lines are in both English and Japanese. The full model number is TE-V1R-KZN and you can find more information on AVIOT's website (which ships internationally through Worldshipping).
The earbuds retail at ¥18,700.
Alternatively, you prefer a set of buds with more range, if so you might be interested in another collaboration with VTuber Group Aogiri High School, which features 13 members and over 270 voice lines.
Aogiri High School is a versatile VTuber group with the motto, “No Limits to have fun!” This collaboration model features exclusive illustrations and brand new and irresistible voice clips from all 13 members: Otodama Tamako, Ishikari Akari, Yamaguro Nekuro, Kurikoma Komaru, Chiyoura Chiyomi, Gabu Rieru, Étra, Harusame Urame, Puwapuwa Popura, Moemi, Tsukiyuki Ibuki, Urutoragaru, and Yasoshina Mujina.
Once again these earbuds are the TE-V1R featuring Aogiri High School branding. You can find more information and order on AVIOT's website here where they retail for ¥22,880.
A promotional video has been released for this collaboration, which you can enjoy below:
