final Inc. has launched pre-orders for the “ZE500 for ASMR CyberPatra,” the fifth consecutive annual collaboration with popular VTuber Suou Patra, starting August 10, 2026. Themed around “Cyber & Evolution,” this standout model features two ASMR-specific sound modes and a new “Touch de Patra” function.

Two Color Models Fully Supervised by Patra

Patra herself conceived both the product and costume imagery, resulting in two deeply connected colorways — “Midnight” and “Pearlshine” — featuring her original illustrations. Each color is priced at 10,800 yen (tax included), with a two-color complete set available for 20,000 yen (tax included). The ultra-compact housing weighing approximately 3g per side, paired with integrated soft ear tips, ensures comfortable wear even during sleep.

Two ASMR-Specific Sound Modes Pursuing In-Ear Presence

The product’s standout feature is final’s development of a new sound profile that goes beyond the “close-to-the-ear sound” pursued in previous ASMR models, achieving a sense of presence within the ear canal itself. The “Melting Immersion Mode” reproduces the tactile sensation of ear cleaning and tapping, as well as the warmth and moisture of whispers. The “Tingling Intimacy Mode” delivers a sense of realism as if listening right in front of the eardrum. Users can switch between modes depending on the ASMR genre or their mood.

New ‘Touch de Patra’ Feature and Guidance Voice

The dedicated app “ZE500 CyberPatra” features a new “Touch de Patra” function where touching the original illustrations prompts Patra to speak to you based on the time of day. Eight fully new guidance voice recordings per model are also included for various situations such as pairing and powering off, letting users enjoy Patra’s voice throughout their daily routine.

Purchase Bonuses and Limited Event Reservation Period

Purchasers receive exclusive ASMR content and original illustration download bonuses. The Midnight edition includes the special ASMR piece “Let Patra Give You a Relaxing Massage♡,” while the Pearlshine edition comes with “Chat with Patra Before Bed♡.” Those who purchase the two-color complete set also receive a limited-edition sticker and a chance to win entry to an exclusive “One-on-One Handover Event with Suou Patra♡” at final’s Kawasaki headquarters on December 19. The pre-order period runs until September 10 at 23:59.

Commentary and Outlook

The collaboration between Suou Patra and final has grown into a five-year partnership, an exceptional level of continuity for VTuber collaboration products. Beyond the annually evolving sound engineering, the integration of app-linked features like “Touch de Patra” suggests new possibilities for the product as an “oshi-katsu device” that goes beyond a typical collaboration model. This fusion of the ASMR streaming pioneer — boasting 944,000 YouTube subscribers — with the technical expertise of a Japanese earphone specialist brand is a must-see product for ASMR fans.
