Wow man this video saved my ass from buying reps. It’s uncanny how accurate these reps look and feel keep making great content

Nope,he didn’t make a great content. How much does the real one cost? How much to “reps” cost? A LOT of different. Don’t expect it to be real.

You can tell if a sealed product is fake by checking the seal strip. Apple included a feature that’s makes to the eye, but visible under UV light.

I bought some really good replicas for $100, but the buttons click when you push them, the case is magnetic but its missing some of the details you described, and the quality of the audio was a giveaway. My Bose EarPods have that very deep noise cancellation and these do not have that depth. Either way, they are fine for my purposes but I wouldn’t mind having a real pair in the future…

The easiest way is to just check the serial number on the box for coverage. Also if the box says 2023 definitely fake. 350 woe. Can you get refunded?

My sister got scammed and bought really good fakes. They had a warranty, proper serial number and looked/felt similar to the originals. Even the sound quality and noise cancellation is decent. The rep at the Apple store also thought it was legit. We sent them in for repair because it was glitching and it turned out to be fakes.

I purchased mine second hand. This is how I found out mine was genuine. As soon as I bought them I tried linking them to my I pad. My headphones appeared in my settings immediately and after clicking on the icon it took me directly to the headphone settings which listed the following. Ie date of purchase and remaining warranty, the serial number and model number. This would not happen if they were fake.
