Calling all ARMY! You need to race to Casetify immediately, as the brand just dropped another collaboration with BTS — and it’s a dynamite one.

You can expect highlight designs from each of the past five collections as well as two new designs to decorate your iPhone or Samsung Galaxy with as well as a wireless earbuds case protector, MagSafe ring holders and smartwatch bands. A limited-edition style has been created and features a lenticular design effect of illustrations of BTS members dancing, depending on the angle of view.
This time around, Casetify took to social media to hear what fans wanted, and designed the new styles based on poll outcomes. And, if it’s anything like the previous drops, you can expect the collection to sell out — and quickly.

Fresh off the release of her No. 1 sophomore album GUTS and announcing her new tour, Olivia Rodrigo is inviting fans to “experience music” the way she does.
The “Vampire” singer partnered with Sony to release her own limited-edition, noise-canceling LinkBud S headphones, announced on Tuesday (Sept. 26).

The Olivia Rodrigo x LinkBuds S feature two custom equalizers tuned by Rodrigo and her producer Daniel Nigro. They retail for $199 and will be available for pre-order at Sony.com and authorized retailers.
“With these earbuds I designed with Sony, fans can experience music the way I do,” Olivia said in a statement to Billboard.

Rodrigo sought out sustainable materials for her Sony collaboration. The eco-friendly earbuds are made from factory-recovered plastic, reclaimed water bottles and recycled plastic materials from automobile parts, which were used to create parts of the case and body of the headphones.
Because of the recycled materials, the earbuds feature a violet marble pattern that’s unique to each pair. Plus, they’re perfect for listening to GUTS, SOUR and more music.
The Olivia Rodrigo x LinkBuds S collaboration is part of Sony’s new “For the Music” campaign. Rodrigo previously partnered with Apple to shoot her “Get Him Back” music video on an iPhone 15 and has released sold-out collaborations with Glossier and Casetify.
“This collaboration between Olivia Rodrigo and Sony is focused on engaging Olivia’s fanbase and releasing a product that provides a truly unique listening experience for her music. This is the first time we have worked with an artist to this extent of product creation and we can’t wait for fans to be able to ‘listen like Olivia,’” said Jordy Freed, director of brand and business development, personal entertainment business at Sony Corp. of America.
“From creation to consumption, Olivia was hands-on throughout the whole process of designing and tuning LinkBuds S x Olivia Rodrigo,” noted Maya Wasserman, Sony Electronics’ director of marketing for home and personal entertainment. “This collaboration between Sony and Olivia is truly a joint partnership with an intentional focus on engaging Olivia’s fanbase and celebrating her fandom.”

Bruno Mars helped JBL celebrate the release of its Authentics speakers in Las Vegas last week. The “24K Magic” singer attended the JBL Authentics launch event with his longtime collaborator, producer D’Mile, who also performed a special set.
Mars is no stranger to JBL products, as he explained in an interview with Billboard.
“In the early days when I gigged in bars, we would play with two JBL’s on stands, and those were some of my most fun shows,” Mars said of what he likes about the brand. “That early gig money saved my life, and JBL is part of that story. So, when they hit me up about the Authentics launch, I said I’m game!”

The all-new Authentics line of premium, home WiFi speakers features a first-of-its kind, dual integration of Google and Amazon assistants. And with its retro, funky design, the Authentics speaker doubles as a cool décor piece that offers up to eight hours of playtime, Dolby Atmos, seamless pairing via Bluetooth and intuitive control options with the JBL app.
JBL’s Authentics speakers are available in 90-watt, 100-watt and 270-watt digital amplifiers. JBL Authentics 200, the smallest among the trio, retails for $350. The Authentics 300 is $449.99 and the Authentics 500 retails for $699.99.
JBL’s Authentics 200 and 300 feature dual, 1-inch silk dome tweeters and a 5-inch full-range mid-woofer. Meanwhile, the Authentics 300 packs a powerful punch with DSP triple horn-loaded 1-inch aluminum tweeters, a 6.5-inch subwoofer, triple 2.7-inch mid-woofers, a 6.5-inch down firing subwoofer and dual JBL slipstream ports.
You can pair JBL Authentics with any compatible device via WiFi, and when streaming through AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music, Spotify Connect or Chromecast, you can leave the room to take a call without interrupting the music.
Speaking of music, Mars is back in the States after taking the stage in Brazil earlier in the month (fans have been begging for him to preform in the country for “six long years,” according to his social media).
“It was amazing being in Brazil,” the Grammy-winning singer shared with Billboard. “It’s one of those countries that you love to sing and perform in. I can’t wait to go back.”
It’s not always easy being on the road, but Mars makes sure to have some of his favorite things on deck. What’s in his tour bag? His five tour essentials include coffee, “gym clothes to eat pizza in,” NBA Jam on PlayStation, rum from his Selvarey liquor brand and a “crossbow/harpoon.”
Next up, Mars will take the stage in Georgia and Israel on Oct. 1 and Oct. 4 (get tickets here) followed by several other overseas tour dates before making it back to Las Vegas for a handful of performances at Park MGM from Dec. 22-31.

Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour is coming to a close soon, and while some of us are lucky enough to have gotten or plan to get last-minute tickets, her backup dancer Brianna Pavon has treated us to some behind-the-scenes content that won’t be shown onstage.
Pavon posted a video to her personal TikTok on Sept. 11, showing off the Lululemon Curve Duffle bag as well as the must-haves she packs inside. While the exact style she uses is no longer in stock, there is a similar one by the brand that is still available.
“This bag has seen the world literally three times,” Pavon says in the video.
Within her personal bag, she carries everything from a long phone charger, muscle massage balls, AirPods and the Laneige lip mask — and that’s just in a single front pocket. She also goes on to say that through Lululemon’s warranty, you can replace the bag or, if it’s out of stock, get a similar style for equal or lesser value, making the price tag worth the investment.

As of Thursday (Sept. 21), the Celia Cruz Barbie is available at Amazon (prices may vary).
Last year, Mattel debuted a Gloria Estefan Barbie doll coinciding with Estefan’s 65th birthday and her 1989 hit single “Get on Your Feet.”
Known as “La Reina de la Salsa” (“The Queen of Salsa”), Cruz was born in Havana, Cuba in 1925. She released 75 album and sold more than 10 million records over her 60-year career. The Afro-Cuban singer, who passed away in 2003, won five Grammys, four Latin Grammys and a posthumous Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016.
