Xiaomi’s partner and Korean company KH Vatec has launched the Line Friends Bluetooth headset under the Youpin crowdfunding platform. The product comes from the partnership with the well-known global character brand Line Friends and has received several positive reviews as well as large patronage.
In terms of appearance, the earbuds come in two design styles themed after the famous Brown Bear and Sally characters. Not only are the colours very pleasing, but you may also even confuse the storage box for a toy. The earbuds look very much like the Redmi AirDots range of earbuds. The earbuds come in white only which is a bit low-key compared to the fanciful storage box. There is a caricature of the Brown Bear or Sally characters on each of the earbuds, depending on the variant.

Specs-wise, the Line Friends Bluetooth Earbuds comes with Bluetooth 5.0 technology which is more stable and less susceptible to interference from WiFi and other Bluetooth signals than Bluetooth 4.0. It comes with a standby time of 6days but each earphone can provide 3.5 hours of playback time. The storage box has some magnetic properties such that as soon as the earbuds are inserted, it gets stuck. Also, it shuts down automatically when inside the box and turns back on when removed from the box. 
Furthermore, the earbuds each have a transmission range of 10m and comes with an IP5X level water and dustproof protection. Another thing is the lightweight property, weighing just 4g.
As for the pricing and availability, the earbuds are presently available to buy on Tmall for an affordable price of 169 yuan ($24).
