Apple has introduced a limited-edition version of the AirPods 5 in India featuring a festive rangoli engraving on the Wireless Charging Case. Priced at ₹17,900, the special edition is available in limited quantities through Apple’s official online and offline retail channels.
The special model costs the same as the standard AirPods 5 with a Wireless Charging Case. Customers can purchase it through the Apple Store Online, the Apple Store app and six Apple Store locations across Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru and Pune.
Apple AirPods 5 Special Edition Price and Availability
According to Apple’s product listing, the festive edition of the AirPods 5 is priced at ₹17,900, inclusive of taxes. An independent report citing Apple states that the wider festive campaign runs from October 11 to November 11, 2026. However, availability of the limited-edition model may end earlier if stocks run out.
Customers can check availability at Apple BKC and Apple Borivali in Mumbai, Apple Saket and Apple Noida in Delhi-NCR, Apple Hebbal in Bengaluru, and Apple Koregaon Park in Pune.
Before placing an order, buyers should check delivery and store pickup options for their PIN code.
Features and Battery Life
The special-edition AirPods 5 offer the same core features as the regular model with a Wireless Charging Case. These include Active Noise Cancellation, Adaptive Audio, a force sensor with swipe-based volume control and wireless charging support.
Apple states that the case can deliver up to 22 hours of battery life with Active Noise Cancellation enabled. It also supports charging through an Apple Watch charger or a Qi-compatible wireless charger.
The earbuds also support Live Translation and Apple’s AI-related Siri features. However, access to these capabilities depends on the connected iPhone, supported language, region and software version. Siri AI features are being rolled out in English.
Customers should also note that the package does not include a USB-C charging cable or power adapter.
How Is It Different From the Regular AirPods 5?
The main distinction between the festive edition and the standard AirPods 5 with a Wireless Charging Case is the pre-designed rangoli engraving. The hardware, core features and ₹17,900 price remain the same.
Apple also provides engraving options through its official retail channels, allowing customers to personalise eligible purchases with details such as initials or emojis.
Buyers looking for the more affordable version priced at ₹14,900 with a standard USB-C charging case will need to select the regular model instead.
