To celebrate the coming Chinese New Year – which happens to be the Year of the Ox and begins on February 12 – Apple has launched a limited edition pair of AirPods Pro with a charging case that features a newly designed ox emoji. Exclusively available in Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Taiwan, and Malaysia, the Apple websites in these countries are also displaying a custom red apple-ox logo to commemorate the occasion.

The ox-themed AirPods Pro, not unlike the non-ox-themed pair, is priced at $1,999 and comes in a box that has the same emoji on it. The artwork is inspired by Apple's Animoji characters and features a small ox, along with stars and shapes, popping out of a larger ox's head.
