CyberStar Inc. has announced the release of the “TMQ002-TNR,” a collaboration earphone between its audio brand “TuneMATE” and VTuber “Kannagi Tenri.” The pre-order period runs from September 1 to September 30, 2026, with a retail price of ¥69,800 (tax included).

A Made-to-Order Collab Model Supervised by Kannagi Tenri

The “TMQ002-TNR” is a limited-edition, made-to-order earphone born from the collaboration between CyberStar‘s audio brand “TuneMATE” and VTuber Kannagi Tenri. The product was personally supervised by Kannagi Tenri herself, with meticulous attention paid to everything from the faceplate design to the sound tuning.

The design features an asymmetric red-and-silver color scheme inspired by Kannagi Tenri’s visual identity. The right side features a red marble pattern reminiscent of her outfit, while the left side is adorned with a silver motif, creating a finish that changes expression depending on the viewing angle and lighting.

Serious Audio Specs with 7 Drivers Per Side

On the audio side, the TMQ002-TNR features a 4-way configuration with 7 drivers per side (1DD + 6BA). It covers a wide frequency range of 10Hz–30kHz, with a sensitivity of 112dB and an impedance of 20Ω. The cable uses silver-plated copper wire with a 0.78mm 2-pin connector, supporting both 3.5mm and 4.4mm modular terminals.

Regarding the collaboration, Kannagi Tenri commented: “For the sound, we went through numerous adjustments with a lot of support, aiming for a sound that lets listeners enjoy my original song ‘Reveal’ even more.”

Listening Event at the Ikebukuro Live Venue on September 19

A listening event for the “TMQ002-TNR” has been confirmed at the venue of “Kannagi Tenri 1st Nationwide Street Live Tour ‘Dandelion’ Final,” taking place at Sunshine City Fountain Plaza in Ikebukuro on Saturday, September 19, 2026. Details about the listening event will be announced on the product page.

Future Developments

TuneMATE is an audio brand established in 2025, built around the philosophy of “bringing great sound to everyday life.” In addition to developing licensed models with IPs involved in music and streaming activities, the brand is also working on planning and designing its own exclusive models. The pre-order period runs until September 30, 2026 at 23:59, with delivery expected between late November and late December 2026.

Analysis and Outlook

When it comes to VTuber collaboration earphones, the Suou Patra × final ASMR-dedicated model is still fresh in memory, but this TuneMATE × Kannagi Tenri model stands out with its serious 7-driver-per-side specifications. While the ¥69,800 price point is on the higher end for general earphones, it falls within a reasonable range for IEMs, and the fact that the artist was involved not just in design supervision but also in sound tuning adds significant value for fans. The strategy of offering a listening event at the live venue is also an intriguing approach unique to a made-to-order model.
