Sanrio fans in need of new headphones, I have great news for you.

Preorders are finally live for the limited Hello Kitty-themed editions of three pairs of Sony headphones: the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones, the WH-CH730N headphones, and the WH-CH530 headphones. The collab is available exclusively on Sony's website and features a pair of the headphones in black or pink, as well as a Hello Kitty tote and black carrying case with a heart-shaped carabiner.

Depending on the model, the headphones are due to ship out from mid-November to early December. Below, you can find info on each of the available preorders, including price and potential ship dates.

Sony WH-1000XM6 x Hello Kitty

The Hello Kitty edition of the flagship WH-1000XM6 headphones is available in the classic black and sand pink colorways found on the non-Hello Kitty XM6s. The full kit costs $519.99, up $60 from the standard XM6 headphones. Estimated delivery times for these headphones start on Nov. 18. Sony's flagship headphones feature their best combination of noise cancellation, comfort, and sound quality, making them one of Mashable's top picks for the best noise-cancelling headphones.

Sony WH-CH730N x Hello Kitty

If you're looking for a more budget-friendly alternative to the flagship headphones, the WH-CH730Ns also come in black and (a slightly brighter) pink, with the same case and tote design as the XM6 headphones. (As with the XM6s, these colors are also available without the Hello Kitty package). The 730N collab clocks in at $224.99, up $45 from the WH-CH730N base price of $179.99. These headphones will come with less sophisticated sound engineering and noise cancellation than the flagship headphones, but still offer a well-rounded noise-cancelling experience, with 50 hours of battery life with ANC, spatial audio, and customizable sound.

Sony WH-CH530 x Hello Kitty

For Sony fans who don't need noise cancellation, the WH-CH530 headphones are the cheapest of the Hello Kitty collab, coming in at $104.99 for the full set. Like the other two models, these headphones are also available in the black and pink colorways that can be found in the regular edition of the headphones. Also like the other two models, they'll run you a bit more than the standard CH530 headphones, which go for $69.99 (a $35 price difference). Though a budget model, these headphones still come with 55 hours of battery life, a 10-band custom equalizer, and easy-to-use on-ear tactile controls.
