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.

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.

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.
