Apple has announced a new limited edition version of its AirPods Pro earphones, inspired by the Ox, to celebrate Chinese New Year. The new product goes on sale exclusively in China today (January 7).

The AirPods Pro feature an attractive Ox design, inspired by the Year of the Ox. The design is similar to Apple’s own free engraving service for AirPods, which allows users to add initials or an emoji to their AirPods case, but it features an exclusive Ox design that cannot be found elsewhere, which will prove attractive to Chinese users.
