Apple is starting the new year with an enjoyable, limited-edition set of AirPods, yet you’ll possibly have difficulty getting your hands on them. As found by MacRumors on Friday, Apple is selling Year of the Snake Scandal Sheet AirPods 4 with Active Sound Cancellation in celebration of the Lunar New Year (or Spring Festival) on January 29, 2025
For now, the themed AirPods 4 are just readily available in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore, so you can’t buy t hem directly from Apple throughout The United States and Canada or Europe.
In the territories where these AirPods are available, they cost the same as the typical model. They likewise offer all of the same attributes– the only difference is an engraving of a serpent on the AirPods 4 cordless billing case (and a red serpent on the packaging).
Besides that, these are the specific same AirPods 4 that we awarded 4 5 stars to in our evaluation last year. As we claimed at the time, there is plenty of competitors in this rate array when it involves cordless earphones, however the AirPods 4 are “a significant upgrade over the base AirPods 4, considering the addition of wireless billing and ANC.”
MacRumors discusses that releasing scandal sheet AirPods is a practice for Apple. The company has formerly launched AirPods to celebrate the Year of the Dragon, Year of the Ox, Year of the Tiger, and Year of the Rabbit, but they were all AirPods Pro.
