  • Sony has released a limited edition pair of LinkBuds Fit earbuds in the US
  • They cost $249.99 and come with exclusive goodies
  • These include a cute acrylic stand with an illustration of the virtual idol

Sony has announced a new pair of limited edition earbuds in collaboration with the popular virtual idol Hatsune Miku.

The LinkBuds Fit Hatsune Miku Limited Edition come with an exclusive bundle of Miku goodies, including a special acrylic earbuds stand complete with cute artwork by illustrator 荻pote. If you look at the design closely, you'll spot Miku wearing her very own pair of LinkBuds Fit buds – which is absolutely adorable.

This is complemented by codes for a digital Hatsune Miku model and a virtual performance of the song Believe Day that you can watch in glorious augmented reality (AR) via the HoloModels smartphone app.

Of course this is huge news if, like me, you'll buy literally anything that has 'Hatsune Miku' written on the box, but this limited edition doesn't seem to differ from the standard buds aside from the inclusion of those extra goodies.

You get the standard green colorway here, which does at least line up the idol's iconic verdant hair. Still, with a retail price of $249.99 (compared to the usual $179 / £179 / AU$348 rate) I would've expected at least some kind of special decal on the buds or case themselves to set them apart.

If you do choose to invest in this limited edition release, you are at least getting a capable music listening tool for your money. We consider them to be some of the best workout headphones around, with our Sony LinkBuds Fit review praising both its bold sound and cute, lightweight design.

You could certainly choose worse headphones to blast your ears with World is Mine while you're lifting weights at the gym.
