Curiosity may have killed the cat, but there’s no doubt these Hello Kitty headphones are to die for. SANRIO, Inc, the brand best known for creating the cultural phenomenon, Hello Kitty, is teaming up with AERIAL7, a headphone brand known for its eye-catching design and celebrity customer base, the like of which includes DJ Jam, DJ Neil Armstrong, Dr. Dre and Warren G., to produce these adorable Hello Kitty x AERIAL7 headphones. The bold design—a red, black and white pattern with Hello Kitty on the ear cups, will make its debut this October in select stores, including Urban Outfitters, Hot Topic, FYE and Kitson, as well as online at Sanrio and AERIAL7. With just the right mix of cute and edgy, it’ll be easy to make a statement with these headphones this fall amidst a sea of dull and muted hues, but these headphones are limited edition, so make sure you get them while they’re still available. (And yes, we promise they’re compatible to your iPhone or iPod.)
