As the ‘Circuit Breaker’ stretches for at least 20 days more, many of us may feel bored and frustrated being cooped up at home for hours or days on end.
To keep you “charged” during this period, Razer will soon be launching Pikachu wireless earphones that will have all Pokémon lovers hooked to their Spotify playlists.
With these accessories, you can still feel like a Pokémon trainer at home while you go on your month-long Pokémon GO cleanse.
Like any other merch inspired by the electric rodent, these wireless earpieces come in bright yellow with black decals.
But amid the eye-catching brightness of the earphones lies a small detail in black — the silhouette of Pikachu on the back of each earbud.
The earphones allow for 3 hours of continuous audio playback, enough to keep you company through 5 to 6 episodes of the Pokémon anime.
They connect via Bluetooth and are equipped with IPX4 water resistance — which basically means they’re resistant to splashing water.
These electrifying earphones also come with a neat Pokéball charging case so you can carry them around like a true Pokémon trainer.
Unlike Ash’s Pikachu who refuses to get into a Pokéball, these earphones fit perfectly into the charging case, which holds up to 15 hours of juice.
Razer’s Pikachu earphones are set for release on Thursday (16 Apr), and will be available via Razer’s official store on Taobao for 899 yuan (S$180).
Other Pokémon offerings available on the online store include keyboards, mouses and mouse pads, all in Pikachu’s signature yellow.
If you know a die-hard Pokémon fan who spends hours gaming or binge-watching shows at home during the ‘Circuit Breaker’, these earphones would certainly make a perfect gift.
They would also make the perfect accessory to match other Pikachu products like apparel, EZ-Charm, and socks! You’ll look like a true fan once you get back to Pokémon GO after ‘Circuit Breaker’ ends.
Considering how popular Pokémon is, we’d suggest you snag these off Taobao the moment they go on sale — you never know how fast they will sell out.
