Story: I got a thing in the mail a few years ago saying that if you go to your local car dealership, you have a chance to win a ton of different things (TVs, AirPods, etc.) through a scratch off. No purchase necessary. It was at a point in time where AirPods were something I really wanted, so I decided why not, I'll do it. I ended up having to drive 40 minutes to get there, but I "won" the AirPods. Apparently, they had just "run out" of AirPods, and asked me to come back the next day. It was for free AirPods, so I decided to do it. 40 minute drive there and back. I went back the next day, got my free AirPods, and left. After I got home, I realized they were fake. I looked up the "brand" online, and they go for $7 at walmart. The AirPods don't even have the capability to connect to your bluetooth device at the same time. You have to choose one ear or the other.

Exactly these are 2 best ways that I don’t see KZfaqrs have mentioned, I have figured all these out after got into to the same situation ; just in addition , it is interesting that the weight of the charger ( with EarPods inside ) is same as apple BUT each part has different weight but total same , if you know what I mean . Anyways it’s weird how the Chinese companies make the high copy very fast it’s like mafia ; I lost some money which is not considerable for me( if it wasn’t why wouldn’t you buy from Apple store) but I learned what’s going on ; as my story I looked at the guy eyes and asked him about the AirPod authenticity and he said I swear to my balls that this AirPod is origin and I bought it

If you bought them new from Walmart, I would trust that you have a genuine product unless you have clear signs it’s not. Has anything acted weird so far? Did you buy it in Walmart or on their website? I do believe Walmart has 3rd party sellers which might be a cause for concern, but if it was in store, personally I would think it would be legit.

Hey quick update here, some clones have updated the packaging around the AirPods case to have the pull tab with the line on it and to look way less cheaper, they have also replicated all the functions and whatnot. But the box quality is still a give away of how cheap the packaging is and still gives away they are fakes. But for the rest, stickers, fonts, etc, they are getting scarily close to the real ones.

Hi friend! I no longer have the fake ones, but I believe it is something that is done via software processing so it would probably still work on the fake, but I would imagine wouldn’t sound as good. Welcome to the channel fam 🙌

@@reslaega6134 thanks friend. Appreciate the feedback. I definitely was surprised at how many fake products are out there. If you look on most used sites you will notice fake products. That’s why I recommend buying with buyer protection so if you do end up with a fake you should be able to get your money back like I did.

The way to prevent being deceived is to buy fake AirPods Pro, because I know it is a fake but its function and quality are the same as the real one, so I chose him
@pauldittus2 жыл бұрын
I personally liked the real ones better, but you are right. If you go in being open to getting fakes there are many options available for less.

Fake real ones kinda bs argument companys(manufacturers)offer same shit even better u can grab the airoha chip set which has the same features as the h1 an w1 chips they got really good at replicating them just gotta know which seller you're buying from
@pauldittus2 жыл бұрын
I was definitely impressed by how close the fake ones get. Personally I was able to tell a difference with the one I tested, but for some that might be exactly what they’re looking for at a cheaper price. Personally, I have a problem with people deceiving others into believing a product is real or simply replicating another company’s work. That said, you are correct that they’re surprisingly close.

Next time you do this again (comparing products) make sure to focus the camera to both products not to your face…. i mean like do the birds eye view/ top view of the products for us to see the products and compare them,, Most of the time all I can see is your face, Maybe thats why your view is not getting higher.

I'm sure each knockoff is different. They're definitely cheaper. With the one I tested I did prefer the real version, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were some cases where it was very close or possibly even better. Thanks for sharing your experience my friend! Welcome to the channel fam 🎉
