Attention Hello Kitty fans: Your next favorite fashion accessory is designed to carry your headphones.
Sony has teamed up with the iconic Sanrio character for a limited-edition collection featuring three models from Sony’s existing headphone lineup, including the WH-CH530, WH-CH730N and WH-1000XM6. Each pair of headphones offers different noise-reduction technology and comes in either black or pink. While the headphones themselves have a simple design, the accompanying accessories are where the collection really stands out.
Each headphone comes with a black tote bag and a grunge-inspired black Hello Kitty carrying case that can clip onto a bag or clothing. The case features Hello Kitty’s signature ears and bow, along with headphone-shaped storage compartments that make it look like she’s wearing a pair of headphones herself. Available now for preorder with a scheduled release before the holidays, the collection makes a fun Christmas gift for music lovers and Hello Kitty fans alike.
WH-CH530
WH-CH530 Wireless Headphones with Microphone Hello Kitty Limited Edition
Available in Black & Pink
The WH-CH530 features noise reduction rather than full noise cancellation.
The most affordable option in the collection, the WH-CH530 is a lightweight pair of on-ear headphones. They offer up to 55 hours of battery life, so you can go several days without reaching for the charger. Need a quick boost? A three-minute charge provides up to 1.5 hours of playback. They also feature a built-in microphone for calls.
WH-CH730N
WH-CH730N Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones Hello Kitty Limited Edition
Available in Black & Pink
If you want to tune out background noise, the WH-CH730N offers noise cancellation to help make listening more focused. Its Ambient Sound Mode also lets outside sounds come through when you need to hear what’s happening around you. The foldable design makes these headphones easy to pack for trips, while the battery lasts up to 50 hours with noise cancellation on or 75 hours with it off. They also include a microphone designed to make phone calls clearer.
WH-1000XM6
WH-1000XM6 Best Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones Hello Kitty Limited Edition
Available in Black
As of publication, the WH-1000XM6 is sold out in pink, but still available in black.
For those looking for Sony’s most advanced option in this collection, the WH-1000XM6 offers top-tier noise cancellation and high-quality sound. Its microphones and processors constantly adjust to help block out surrounding noise while keeping your music clear. You can also switch between noise cancellation and ambient sound when you want to stay aware of your surroundings. The headphones offer up to 30 hours of battery life and a quick three-minute charge provides up to three hours of playback.
