Sega, the OG gaming giant, is throwing it back with some rad accessories inspired by their classic consoles. Even though it’s not exactly for gaming, it’s a cool nod to the good ol’ days of the ’80s and ’90s.
Sega, though still a big deal in gaming, hasn’t dropped a new console since the ’90s, sticking to game development instead. But for those who miss the golden era, Sega’s teaming up with Onkyo to drop some Sega Genesis and Dreamcast-themed wireless earbuds for about $109. Snag ’em from Onkyo Direct online or in Akihabara, Tokyo, starting December 22, 2023.
The Genesis earbuds rock the original Mega Drive vibe, with the left earbud sporting the iconic “16-bit” text, and the right one repping the Japanese red and green “MD” logo. Meanwhile, the Dreamcast ones keep it classic in clean white, with the left earbud showing off the controller’s D-pad and the right one flaunting the face buttons.
But wait, there’s more! Onkyo’s got other Sega-themed goodies to complete your collection. Think wireless chargers (around $31), acrylic stands (around $8), and even T-shirts (around $28). It’s a nostalgia-packed lineup that’s sure to sell like hotcakes, especially among die-hard Sega fans still rocking their old consoles. Sega’s not just about hardware nostalgia, though – they’ve been teaming up for cool collaborations, like the Persona 5 Royal gear from Japanese fashion brand SuperGroupies. Stay tuned for more dope Sega partnerships in the future!
