Japanese electronics goods company ONKYO will be releasing NieR Automata wireless earphones that come with 2B and 9S’s voice lines built into the device. The wireless earphones are scheduled to ship July 2024. [Thanks, Dengeki!]
ONKYO’s ANIMA AOW 01 wireless earphones are based on NieR Automata Ver1.1a, the anime series which adapts Square Enix’s popular video game NieR Automata. Fans of the video game and anime series will be able to operate their earphones while enjoying the familiar voices 2B and 9S. The headphones come with recorded voice lines by Yui Ishikawa and Natsuki Hanae, the voice actors of 2B and 9S respectively. There are 11 words recorded on each model, including voice lines for powering the device on and off, pairing the device, and other recordings when using the earphones.
The NieR Automata earphones have built-in Bluetooth 5.1, IPX7 waterproof standard, AAC and aptX codec compatibility, MEMS type microphone, and they also support wireless qi charging. The charing case features the YoRHa emblem printed on top along with 2B or 9S’s model name. The earbuds themselves feature the left “L” and right “R” in Angelic text. The sound quality of the earphones have also been closely observed by ONKYO.
The earphones also come with a brand new piece of artwork made specially for the release of the ANIMA AOW 01 wireless earphones. The brand new artwork featuring 2B and 9S with the earphones can be viewed below:
