Japanese headphone brand [Final Audio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/final-audio-ze3000-sv) has launched a new pair of EVA2020 Wireless Earbuds in a new ‘Type-REI’ edition. The newest iteration of the earbuds is based on the character Ayanami Rei from the iconic anime series Neon Genesis [Evangelion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/projectcstf-protection-from-impact), adopting the icy blue color of the protagonist’s hair and the prototype Unit-00 chassis for accents on the earbuds and charging case.

The earbuds boast clear audio quality and impressive bass, arriving with a total battery life of nine hours in between charges and 63 hours when using the case. The earbuds also offer a special edition voice guidance service that can be toggled between English and Japanese. The headphones also come with five sets of ear tips and a USB Type-C charging cable.

The Evangelion x Final Audio EVA2020 in ‘Type-REI’ is now available for approximately $200 USD.
