However, the earbuds also feature Bluetooth 5.1, AAC/aptX codec support, a MEMS microphone, and an external sound recording function, with all of them being waterproof to the IPX7 standard.

Each variant is themed around the character, from the small details to the product packaging. Rimuru comes in blue and white, Milim in pink and black, and Diablo in red and black. Each charging case features a stylized monogram and the name of the character featured, while the earbuds themselves feature wings and motifs based on Rimuru and his patrons, such as a cute image of the protagonist in his slime form.
