Sanrio x The Coop Idea

The first drop of Hong Kong lifestyle brand The Coop Idea’s collaboration with Sanrio on a range of tech devices starred Hello Kitty, My Melody, Little Twin Stars, as well as the lesser known Marumofubiyori. For Cinnamoroll and Pompompurin fans who were feeling left out, you’ll be glad to know the 2 Sanrio characters have since joined the mix in the form of wireless earbuds. The collection is available on The Coop Idea’s website.

Sanrio BEANS+ True Wireless Earbuds

Sanrio x The Coop Idea’s BEANS+ True Wireless Earbuds let you ride the train in style with your favourite Sanrio characters peeking out of your ears. They offer up to 63 hours of play time on the go (based on 2 hours of play time per day) and are water resistant. There are 2 interchangeable case designs for every character, so you can switch up the covers depending on your mood.

The second drop of the collaboration welcomes Cinnamoroll to the line-up. The wireless earbuds feature the puppy looking content with its eyes closed, just as you’d look when listening to music on your commute while plugged in. The 2 cases stay true to the puppy’s pastel colour palette, with an “Air Mail”-style design on one case and a purple design for the other.

Another new entrant to Sanrio x The Coop Idea’s BEANS+ True Wireless Earbuds collection is Pompompurin. Passers-by will be able to tell its Pompompurin simply from the pastel yellow colour and the doggo’s signature beret. The illustrations on the cases have a laundry theme going on, with Pompompurin either hanging the laundry, or being the laundry.

It goes without saying that the original line-up included Hello Kitty. On days when you want a pop of colour, choose the case with the cat surrounded by red and yellow tulips. The second case is more classic and minimalist, with the outline of Hello Kitty, tulips and her milk jar.

My Melody fans can choose between the first design, with polka dots on the sides, and another version featuring the bunny playing alongside a friend.

Naturally, the Little Twin Stars earbuds see Kiki and Lala’s faces on the left and right. One of the cases has pastel pink and green on the sides to match their hair, while the other is in full pastel pink with an illustration of the Little Twin Stars and their friends.

Sanrio x The Coop Idea’s BEANS+ True Wireless Earbuds retail for S$122.
