Razer’s new Pikachu-themed true wireless buds can be charged inside a Poke Ball

Do you want to be the very best? Like no one ever was? If you answered both of those questions with a resounding ‘yes,’ then you’ll want to check out the new Pikachu-themed wireless earbuds from Razer. Announced by the company on Chinese messaging app Weibo, the striking yellow in-ears have been styled after everybody’s favourite thunder-flinging pocket monster, and come packed in a replica Poke Ball that doubles as a charging case. Although its unlikely the Pikachu buds will K.O. high-end rivals on tech specs alone, they also win points for being the only in-ears on the market that can be stored in a real-life Poke Ball. As it stands, the buds are due to launch in China for around £100 on April 16, but fingers crossed they’ll teleport over to the West in the near future.

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
