Are you a fan of blind boxes and plushie collectibles? Maybe Monchhichis? Well you’ve come to the right place.

Sonix is offering fans of the cutsey toy the ability to keep their tech safe and stylish with Airpods Max covers printed with Monchhichi graphics, proving that protective gear doesn’t have to be boring. The style currently retails for $30, an attractive price tag in comparison to other branded covers out there. The collection can be shopped on Sonix’s website.

If you’re looking to update your AirPods Max headphones, this is the product for you. The covers are made of thermoplastic polyurethane and feature a bright red and white polka-dot design. The beloved Monchhichi Boy and Monchhichi Girl figures are in the center of the covers, along with the toy’s logo in gold lettering.

These covers are lightweight and scratch-resistant, protecting your precious tech from hefty drops. Precise cutouts on the covers ensure all ports and buttons are accessible. They are also compatible with all Apple AirPods Max models. Simply slip the covers over the earcups, and boom — your headphones are safe and stylish.

That’s not all the Monchhichi merch Sonix has to offer — not by a long shot! The brand also has laptop cases, keychains, phone stands, charging port charms and even pickleball paddles for fans of the character to add a touch of whimsy to anything and everything. We especially love the Quilted AirPods Pouch retailing for $30 and the Puffy Laptop Sleeve Case retailing for $39. Both have a quilted texture and are padded to protect your tech while it is nestled inside.

The AirPods Pouch is drop-tested for up to 10 feet and features a precision molded design for perfect fit and easy installation. A gold keyring is attached to the pouch, allowing you to clip it onto your keys or bag with ease. The laptop sleeve is compatible with 16-inch devices and features an outer sleeve constructed from water-resistant nylon fabric, keeping your tablet or laptop safe from scary spills.

You may be reading this, thinking to yourself, “What the heck is a Monchhichi?” The plushie hails from Japan and was originally created by the Sekiguchi Corporation back in 1974. The design is meant to look like a monkey with a fuzzy tail, ears and a pacifier. The name Monchhichi is an amalgamation of the French word “mon” — meaning “mine” or “my” — and the Japanese onomatopoeia “chichi,” which mimics the sound of a baby sucking a pacifier, hence the attached pacifier.
