HeartBuds: Japan Only! Heart-Shaped Wireless Earphones With Many Features!

HeartBuds: Wireless Earphones That Are So Stylish!

During Covid-19, the number of Zoom meetings and online courses quickly soared, and so did the opportunities for wearing wireless earphones.

One day, however, one of the developers for this product hopped on a train. As they casually observed the various fashion trends being expressed by all the people, it soon became apparent that only the earphones seemed to be a mismatch―looking rather unrefined, unsophisticated and out of place.

This experience spawned the creation of HeartBuds.

The product development team members, who all felt that earphones could potentially become a part of fashion, conducted many market surveys.

They then decided to create a wireless earphone in the shape of a heart―a symbol that conjures up universal words such as Peace, Like, and Love―making it easier for many people to accept them.

In order to make the heart shape cuter, they set out to design a beautiful heart that was elegant rather than childish. The outer part of the earphone was given a glossy finish to fully express the heart's three-dimensional quality when the earphone is being worn.

They also paid special attention to color matching, so that any color of their earphones would perfectly match all types of stylish clothes.

A Sophisticated New Item for Fashion Lovers!

Available in Four Colors To Suit Your Needs

These adorable heart-shaped earphones look just like a stylish fashion accessory.

They are currently available in four colors: Red, Pink, Purple, and Blue. They will be the perfect match for any style of outfit.

HeartBuds Come in 5 Sizes―Ideal for Smaller Ears

HeartBuds was also very particular about providing a good fit when the earphones are being worn. The earpiece comes in five different sizes, including XXS (extra small) which is ideal for those with smaller ears.

The earphones have a snug and comfortable fit. Even when they are worn for long periods of time, there's virtually no discomfort or strain and pressure on the ears.

Outstanding Features for Any Occasion! Also Quick Recharging!

HeartBuds come equipped with a daily waterproof function known as IPX4 (*1), so you don't need to worry about the rain or about sweating during your work out.

The transmission technologies used are AAC (*2) and aptX (*3). This results in low latency (*4) and high sound quality. You can rest assured that you'll always receive clear, high-quality sound, whether you're talking with family and friends or engaged in a remote web meeting.

These earphones also come with an external sound capture function that naturally picks up nearby sounds. When you're out shopping or on a walk, you can still hear sounds (ie. traffic) and voices in your immediate surroundings without removing your earphones. This offers you an element of safety.

With the quick charger you can charge your smartphone or other device for just 10 minutes and receive up to 90 minutes of battery life. So no need to panic even when you're in a rush.

When fully charged you can use your device continuously for up to six hours. Enjoy listening to your music without having to worry about the time!

*1 IPX4: IPX (Ingress protection) is a rating system that indicates how well a device is protected from water and dust. Level IPX4 indicates that the device can withstand water splashes from any direction.
*2 AAC: is an audio transmission method called Advanced Audio Coding. It is known for generating improved, higher quality sound.
*3 aptX: a method of transmitting audio called Audio Processing Technology. It generates low latency and high sound quality.
