・Special Voice Lines

This model features over 360* newly recorded voice lines, including voice guidance for notifications such as earbud activation/deactivation and connection status and a “random voice” feature with iconic quotes from the anime.

*Total of all four models.

・Special Design

Each of the four models features unique logos on the earbuds and charging cases. These logos, newly designed for this collaboration, incorporate character motifs and the essence of the Gintama universe while also exuding a sense of luxury. The color schemes are tailored to match each model’s theme, resulting in designs that are both stylish and suitable for everyday use.

・Special Packaging

The packaging of each of the four models features completely new illustrations. This is a must-have for Gintama fans, offering exclusive artwork you won’t find anywhere else.

・Special Tuning

Audio Highs, who has created many songs for the Gintama anime, handled the tuning. The result is a unique sound that enhances the emotional range of Gintama’s music, offering an unparalleled listening experience.

Comment from Audio Highs

I tuned the sound with the hope that listeners would naturally want to dance while enjoying the background music and insert songs I created for Gintama. I’ve tested it with all the music in the anime—from the lively big band, rock, and vocal tracks to the emotional piano and acoustic sounds—so please try it as a new way to immerse yourself in the world of Gintama.
