I recently got both of the NieR:Automata headphones that are currently available from claw machines in various arcades. I have little patience to play those games, so I cheated and got these off of Yahoo auctions. I’m lazy that way. orz

So, anyway, here’s a quick look!!

The Emil headphones have angelic script on the headband. Notice that they’re using some non-angelic text as well (there is no corresponding angelic symbol for every letter of the alphabet, so some letters have no symbol and thus is displayed as a mere box).

Similarly, the YoRHa headphones have a stylish boarder down the center.

One thing to keep in mind if you’re interested in getting ahold of these headphones…

The quality isn’t all that great, which is to be expected. Simply wearing them feels a little awkward, like they don’t quite lay flat against your ears properly. I can imagine that wearing them for any prolonged period would get pretty uncomfortable. The sound is okay but not great. You may need to play around with your treble/bass settings since the treble sounds higher than normal. Also, I’m worried about the part of the cord that plugs into your audio device for the Emil set (the YoRHa one seems okay), but it already sounds like it’s getting that usual short that cuts out the sound when you touch the cord just right. I’m hoping it won’t completely die for a while yet, but who knows… I may only use these for special occasions, just to keep them in relatively good condition.
