Retailers Radius and [Medicom Toy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rinaro) recently collaborated to create these [adorable earbud designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhang-yunxib) that are shaped like cute little teddy bears. Available in a wide variety of colors, these headphones are perfect for adults and children to use while listening to their favorite tunes.

Medicome is known for their [Bearbrick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bearbrick-collectible-toy) teddy toys and much of the bear's aesthetic has been used in the design of these modern headphones. Each pair comes with a stylish black ear bud piece attached to a small silhouette of a bear. The earbuds come in five technicolor shades ranging from neon pink to bright blue. Since the bear only appears as a clean silhouette in the headphone's design, these earbuds are stylish enough to wear on a daily basis.
