Razer Pokemon Pikachu earbuds come w/ a Pokeball charger
Meet the new Razer Pokemon Pikachu Edition True Wireless Earbuds that come with a Pokeball charging case. It’s not just the design, these earbuds also produce sweet Pikachu sounds when a user boots, connects to a device, answers/rejects a call, etc. The new Razer Pikachu wireless earbuds feature 13mm drivers, IPX4 water resistance certification, passive noise-canceling silicone earplugs, and provide up to 15 hours of charging with Pokeball charging case. Unfortunately, these fancy earbuds are China exclusive. So they will not be available in any other country except China.
Although these are the first Razer earbuds to feature a Pikachu theme, it’s not like the company has not done a similar kind of thing before. Take a look at:
- Razer Pokemon Pikachu Edition Gaming Mouse with Pad
- Razer Pokemon Pikachu Edition Gaming Keyboard
Sadly, both of these products are exclusive to China as well.

The Pikachu icon you see on these Razer earbuds is actually a touch-sensitive system that allows you to take calls, pause or play music, and much more. The table below shows the behavior of earbuds according to the touch expression:
