“BE@RBRICK just got its voice.”
Central to this innovation is Rinaro’s famed QUAD’360 audio technology. The character’s head houses four custom-engineered speaker elements, which channels the system’s profound sound and clarity into multiple directions.

This means that regardless of where you place the speaker, you can immerse yourself in natural and distinct audio.

The gadget, crafted with fidelity to the 400% size version of the cult-favorite model, arrives in three colorways that are bound to sing to the hearts of hypebeasts. These include a clear iteration showcasing the figure’s inner hardware, a dark translucent ‘smoke’ version, and a solid black variant.

Notably, you can control the audio-blasting sculpture by twisting its left or right paw to either adjust the volume or skip a track. Keeping true to the usual collectibles, the speaker also has flexible joints that enable it to play music while seated or standing up.
The attention to detail extends to the speaker’s ears, which house a pair of 20mm tweeters to thoughtfully elevate audio resolution.
Beneath the hermetically sealed head, bespoke 40mm wideband woofers await, producing a sound that supposedly transcends the speaker’s compact size.

According to the brands, the gadget can be easily set up with a push of a button after you pair it with your iOS or Android device.
The Bearbrick Audio 400% connects seamlessly via Bluetooth, and offers up to six hours of listening pleasure on a single charge. With fast charging using the accompanying USB-C cable, along with a replaceable lithium-ion battery, the model is built to face (bear?) the music for years.
Collectors who happen to crave an even more immersive experience can even pair two of their Bearbrick speakers together to synchronize and deliver “double the power.”
