Radius has added three new colors to its Neko earbuds lineup for cat lovers and ladies. The earbuds are the cat's meow for meowing like a Japanese anime cat in response to control inputs.

Radius has announced three new colors for its Neko HP-C28BT cat-themed TWS earbuds. Each set is unique due to one-of-a-kind earbud marbling. The Neko is programmed to meow in Japanese in a variety of ways like an anime cat in response to inputs or calls.

The Neko earbuds use 6.1 mm drivers with a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and a maximum sound output level of 90 +/- 4 dB. They are IPX4-rated for resistance against water splashes. The earbuds utilize Bluetooth 5.3 to connect to phones and other devices up to 33 ft. (10 m) away and support the universal SBC and AAC Bluetooth audio codecs.

The HP-C28BT earbuds have a runtime of 3.5 hours and recharge in 1.5 hours. The charging case provides five additional charges and recharges in two hours. Fish-shaped LED battery status lights on the case indicate the remaining charge level. The earbuds weigh 0.11 oz (3 g) each while the charging case weighs 1.1 oz. (30 g). Three sizes of ear tips come with each set along with a USB-C to USB-A charging cable.

The Radius Neko comes in three new models - Chatora (HP-C28BTC), Hachiware (HP-C28BTH), and Mike (HP-C28BTM) - that will be released in January 2025 with an MSRP of 8,822 yen (~$59). Readers who want a Neko now can buy a Kuro (HP-C28BTK), Mix (HP-C28BTN), or Shiro (HP-C28BTW) from Radius. Cat lovers can also pick up a pair of Hello Kitty wireless headphones (sold here on Amazon) for the holidays.
