Anyone familiar with Nintendo’s favorite gourmand Kirby knows that the pink blob has an insatiable appetite. Ordinarily, a little bit of gluttony isn’t a bad thing, but in Kirby’s case, it has quite the transformative effect on him–quite literally! We’ve already seen the little fella gulp down an entire Nintendo Switch controller, so it’s only natural he decided to eat a gaming headset. PowerA’s new Kirby Mouthful Wired Stereo Headset sold out quickly when it launched earlier this year, but it’s back in stock for $30 at Amazon.
PowerA Kirby Mouthful Wired Headset for Switch
$30
PowerA’s Kirby Mouthful Wired Stereo Headset is part of the third-party manufacturer’s series of officially licensed over-ear headphones themed around popular franchises. Naturally, the main draw here is the cool design that makes it look like Kirby swallowed a gaming headset. The underside of the cushioned headband features a colorful collage of characters from the Kirby universe. The left earcup shows Kirby preparing to inhale the headphones, while the right earcup displays Kirby’s “mouthful” face.
As for the audio specs and performance, these are basic 3.5mm stereo headphones with 50mm dynamic speaker drivers and a detachable boom mic. There are much higher-performing wired headsets with customizable audio features for similar prices, including the Razer BlackShark V2 X for $35 (was $60) and the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 for $49 (was $60). But if you love Kirby or are looking for a stylish lightweight headset for a younger gamer, PowerA’s Kirby Mouthful headset is quite charming.
