Apple has just officially launched the special edition AirPods 4 to celebrate the Year of the Snake 2025. The product is available for order and will be delivered from January 8.
The Year of the Snake AirPods 4 retains the same design and features as the standard model, including Active Noise Cancellation. However, the special highlight is the engraved logo on the USB-C charging case, which bears the mark of the Year of the Snake.
Launched earlier this year, AirPods 4 are Apple’s first headphones to feature active noise cancellation without the need for silicone ear tips. They also support adaptive audio, transparency mode, spatial audio, and many other modern features.
Apple is limiting each customer to a maximum of two AirPods 4 products for the Year of the Snake. This is a tradition that Apple has maintained for many years. Previous special versions were designed specifically for AirPods Pro.
With the launch of the special edition AirPods 4 for the year of the Snake, Apple not only brings a high-end technology product but also conveys the cultural spirit and connection with Asian markets, where the Lunar New Year tradition is always cherished.
This is also a testament to Apple's strategy of combining technology and cultural values, aiming to create products that are both modern and imbued with a strong local identity.
