Calling all 90s kids! Classic virtual pet Tamagotchi is back with a limited edition release on its 20th anniversary!

Originally launched worldwide in 1997, these portable pet keychains were a hit with kids the world over as they had a first dose of responsibility without the risk of actually killing something.

Now, they’re back and I am so ready for virtual pet responsibilities (because smartphone pet apps just don’t do it for me).

The 2017 Tamagotchis comes in six styles and they’ll be smaller, simplified versions of the original ones. Pre-orders for the cute devices start today with November 5 pegged as the release date.

Unfortunately, the 90s toy is only available in the US. They’ll be priced at US$ 14.99.

Tamagotchi re-releases aren’t particularly new since they’d been in Japan earlier this year, but it doesn’t make it less exciting.

But it’s exclusive to South Korea for now.

Audio wearables have been getting makeovers as of late. Besides the traditional form factors, the segment is experimenting with bone conduction and clip-on headphones. Today, Samsung is joining that trend with the Galaxy Buds On.

Debuting in South Korea, the Galaxy Buds On is Samsung’s first-ever clip-on earbuds. You’re likely familiar with how these earbuds look like, having seen them grace the ears of many a passerby today. Instead of plugging right into your ear canals, they actually do clip onto your earlobes. Samsung’s take, however, is a little bit heftier, which the brand claims gives it a wider surface area to balance the weight for your ears.

Additionally, the new earbuds has a TwinBoost speaker system. While the system adds better bass to the earbuds, it also adds automatic voice adjustments to better attune the sound according to your environment. It also has an Audio Leakage Reduction feature, so others won’t be able to hear what you’re listening to.

The Galaxy Buds On has a charging case almost identical to the Galaxy Buds4 case. Powered by the Snapdragon S7 Gen 1 Sound Platform, the earbuds can reportedly last up to 9.5 hours on a single charge.

Right now, the wearable is exclusive to South Korea, but Samsung says that a global rollout will happen in the future. In South Korea, the Galaxy Buds On costs KRW 299,000 (or approximately US$ 220).
