The wireless earbuds mark the Year of the Ox with a festive variation of Apple's cow emoji adorning the charging case and are only available throughout Asia, including China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia.

Westerners may be disappointed by the design, which features a smaller cow popping out of the head of the ox emoji, as it is very cute. There are no technical differences between the limited edition AirPods Pro and the regular version; the design is only on the charging case and packaging. It is also nice to see a little embellishment on the plain white AirPro charging case.
