It seems like the LE SSERAFIM craze is unstoppable!

FEARNOT or not, these new Smoky Pink wireless headphones and earphones from Sony are ‘CRAZY’ hot 🥵 — just like the girlies themselves.

As EASY and CRAZY were already released, this colorway might be a prelude to the quintet’s next title track all because of how HOT it is.

With two Japanese members on board (Sakura and Kazuha, ICYMI) paired with the group’s unwavering global fame and recognition, it seems right for the well-established Japan-founded electronics company to partner up with one of K-Pop’s crazily-famous girl group.

While pink has many variations, Sony has created a subdued pink that’s barely pink nor too pink. The Smoky Pink color, just like LE SSERAFIM, offers the perfect balance between great aesthetics and personal flavor.

Personally, the littlest gold deets complement this color best in contrast to the products’ other basic color choices.

Moreover, the ad perfectly resonates an astronomical, out of this world feeling whenever you wear and experience Sony’s latest audio line — especially when you activate Sony’s class-leading noise-cancellation technology.

Truth be told, the 1000X series aren’t new products. In an alien-like naming scheme, the WH-1000XM5 is the headphones, while WF-1000XM5 for the earbuds. As a matter of fact, these were already released more than a year ago.

1000X Series in a Nutshell

Fun Fact: Coincidental or not, the Sony WH-1000XM5 was released way back in May 2022 — the same time when LE SSERAFIM made their much-awaited debut.

And much like LE SSERAFIM, it still performs well and stands against time — especially with its impressive noise-cancellation features and nifty audio tech within.

It boasts a 30mm driver and supports the brand’s very own LDAC codec so you can enjoy crystal clear audio. It’s also compatible with 360 Reality Audio and DSEE Extreme for upscaling audio files to high fidelity.

The Otaku Bestie and her knitting skills are inseparable even in this special collab

On the other hand, the Sony WF-1000XM5 was released a little bit recently, just last July 2023. Its compact size should NOT fool you as it also has Sony’s noise-cancellation capabilities.

The earbuds feature an all-new high performance driver that easily beats its predecessor to the core. It should also support LDAC as well as 24-bit audio processing. All that with reduced latency thanks to its integrated processor.

Much of that power are all packed in a 25% smaller and 20% lighter overall build with a promised 8-hour endurance in a single charge (+16 hours with the case). More so, IPX4 makes it withstand unwanted sweats, rain, and water splashes.

Thankfully, the new colors don’t come with additional cost. The price for the headphones and earphones are still the same at US$ 399.99 and US$ 299.99 respectively.

I’m just wishfully thinking that Sony will also release ’em in the fandom’s official color, FEARLESS BLUE, in the foreseeable future — much like how the future of LE SSERAFIM unfolds in this ad:

Dune: Part Three arrives in December

The story continues in Dune: Part Three, which takes place nearly two decades after Paul Atreides seizes control of the Imperium. Now ruling as Emperor, Paul must deal with the consequences of his reign as old allies return, new threats emerge, and a conspiracy threatens everything he holds dear.

1st teaser trailer, details for Death Stranding Isolations series unveiled

Animated series to debut on Hulu on Disney Plus

Published

on

A new teaser trailer for the upcoming Death Stranding Isolations series on Hulu on Disney+ has been revealed.

The upcoming animated series is set to debut in 2027. It is set in the world of Death Stranding immediately after the game’s protagonist Sam reconnects the continent of North America via the Chiral Network.

The series will tell a completely new story separate from that of the video games. The narrative will focus on a young man and woman as they set off on an adventure.

As America is reborn from the ashes, the renewed connections that bind it together bring about new and unforeseen consequences.

In this tumultuous new landscape, there are some who walk a different path to the one chosen by Sam and his Bridges comrades.

One is a wise old man who connects people through a method that defies all reckoning. There is also a female soldier ensnared in a cycle of war and destruction.

Moreover, there is a boy who seethes with rage at the absurdity of his life, and a girl who chose to sever all ties with the outside world. Fate has other plans for her, however, and chance encounters see her launched headfirst into a world she does not recognize.

Death Stranding Isolations is written by Tow Ubukata (Activator, Bone Ash, Project Darkness) and directed by Takayuki Sano (Jujutsu Kaisen 0 – The Movie, Attack on Titan The Final Season).

The series is animated by E&H production (NINJA KAMUI, BULLET/BULLET, the Magic Knight Rayearth Television series 2026) with original character design by Ilya Kuvshinov (Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045, The Wonderland).

The series is executive produced by Hideo Kojima and produced by KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS.
