Sailor Moon Prism & Crystal Star Headphones/Earphones
Gourmandise is coming out with some very shiny audio accessories! The Sailor Moon Compact Stereo Headphones have some major bling factor with Czech stones and big shiny covers. These are designed for elegance and luxury. The retail price is a little steep at 7,380 yen each. There’s a more affordable alternative, the Sailor Moon Earphones with Compact Case. These ones also have Czech stones but on the case and not the ear part. When the earphones aren’t in use, you can easily store them in the shiny case. These ones retail for 3,980 yen.
For both items you can choose between the Transformation Brooch or the Crystal Star Compact design. All of them are compatible 3.5mm earphone jacks. They are all scheduled for release in April 2016. Stay tuned for preorder links!

I managed to buy these in person at the Sailor Moon Exhibition – I bought the Headphones, my friend bought the earbuds. I haven’t tried using them yet but I have taken them out of the box and tried on. I bought them to wear as my “work” headset, despite the fact that they do not have a microphone (I can use my webcam). The earpads are a little smaller than my current set, so I expect they are not going to be very good at “cancelling” outside noise. I’m also worried about long-term comfort since I wear glasses. The upper “head” band is also solid plastic – again, I have some concerns about long-term comfort. I’m considering making a “sleeve” to attach to the top so it is not resting directly on my head.
For the price, I would have expected a little bit better, but I could see the details when I purchased it and still went through with it, so I’m not blaming anyone. I am comparing them to the Razr Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic headset which I have used for 9 hours a day, every day, for several years. I paid about the same amount ($70 USD), similar level of theming, but the earpads are huge and very padded, and the upper headband is padded and there is a built in microphone (although the microphone is not very good.) The cord is also reinforced with a woven sheath.

Hi, i’m thinking of purchasing the headphones myself. How is the sound quality and is it overall a satisfactory product? Thank you very much!

I would totally treat myself to some if I was guaranteed the sound quality would be good. Loving the Star Crystal Compact ones at the very top. So shiny ^///^

I’m trying to figure out what model they are…they are the exact same shape as my audio-technica headphones. They have great sound, but mine are the top end and there are three models in the lineup.

I would love them to not be pink on the cords >.<

Same here, if only the cords where white or so. I also don’t want to be all pinky =.=” But the crystal star case looks so pretty. . . *torn*

The aesthetic of Sailor Moon is super girly and cute, it’ s part of the brand’s identity, if you think they’ll look stupid on you because you’re a boy isn’t that missing the point? If you’ re not bothered by gender norms to be fine wearing Sailor Moon merc why is pink “stupid”?

I personally prefer the headphones offer the earbuds, but they are both cute.
