Just recieved one of these fake pairs on eBay. I knew something was off but your video helped confirm they were indeed fake. Pretty crazy how close they are to the real ones though. On mine the ANC and Transparency modes didn’t work.
AirPods 4 best reps cost me 15$ i would be crazy to buy the originals both are made of plastic right and i dont have money to throw to a multi trillion dollars company
@@zulficarali921thr peoblem Is crooks are passing them off as real on eBay and people are paying way too much money for cheap junk. If you want $15 junk there are plenty of those that suck… they shouldnt be allowed to counterfeit apple
This video made my heart dropped. I just got my fake AirPods two days ago from eBay and I noticed things like when I charged it the light stayed on the whole time and I said to myself maybe they updated or something and when I tried to pair for the first time initially…. since they got rid of the button and now it’s like a sensor, I double tapped it and it wasn’t working and I had to pair it manually and I said whatever maybe it’s just like the AirPods have to warm up….what was really troubling me was like there’s no way the audio on these AirPods would be that bad with Apple products and the ANC wasn’t good and I’m like again maybe it has to warm up….everything works in Find My. It’s connected to my iPhone the iPhone AirPod experience. It’s so creepy so after I watched your video, I looked in the case and now I see the charging prongs and I’m like oh my gosh, these are fake these look exactly the same my heart dropped so bad I was like how could this happen to me? I feel so embarrassed 😭oh and the opening of the box the same thing as in the video the sticker and the back the pull tabs didn’t come off easily they like ripped and it was hard to get the AirPods out of the box I had to use a knife that should’ve been my first clue 😭
Hi, can You confirm additional difference between real and fake? I mean the light after closing is on for about 3 seconds on real while quickly off on fake, can You check it ?
Thank you very much for the hard work and detailed review on the topic, very much appreciated and useful. I would like to comment one small detail, as I am paying attention to this and it was kind of confusing and it is that: The title of video is FAKE vs REAL. Fake on the left and Real on the right, you have the the same layout when you are presenting it (FAKE on the left, REAL on the right of the screen), however when you switch to a closer view it is reversed REAL is on the left, FAKE is on the RIGHT (I am sure it can be very easily switched for the next videos). This is only with good intention. Once again thank you and good luck with the job well done, Plamen
Had fake airpods pro 2. They feel cheaper, they sometimes just bug out of nowhere. Sometimes when I finished listening and put them back to case the music would still go on. Anc doesn’t work 30% as good as the original one. They would disconnect plenty of times a day on their own. They literally do every single thing worse than the original ones. For me overall it’s just bad experience, rather get some other brand cheaper than apple than buying fake ones
No, very likely fake. What I think will happen… they will sell a bunch of them… ship fakes and than close the store 🤷♂️ spend a bit more and buy them from Amazon or Apple.
I bought a pair of airpods 4 ANC last night off of the online market .. I meet with the guy and inspected the pods.. First thing I did was checked the serial number lika a boss .. it was under warenty still .. I got home I tried the ANC and it was same sound like without .. checked further .. and realise I got scamed ... motherF*** .. ;D
you buy the low cost replica because now it has almost everything and the serial in box and two earbud have difference serial number except head tracking and apple findmy which now CAN'T be fake in the new airpods 4
Actually i bought a fake one u like yours all the elements where identical to the real in this video even my iphone 16 pro max thought its real i swear and yeah i payed 15 $ only
Ordered Airpods 4 from Aliexpress for $100. There is a model A3057 written in small print on one of the airpods, but on the other airpod it says A2564. Also they sound like shit. I'm asking for a return and refund.
I just bought some and when I type in the serial number it says they have been replaced. But the head motion thing works and the audio sounds great. Do you think there real? P.S My ones first said ‘Not your AirPods’. Is that bad?
Wait I lost my charging case for my real AirPod 4s and I really only need a case so I’m wondering if the fake case can charge the actual AirPods thank you😊

Open a claim with ebay. They will refund the money and you will probably get to keep the fakes
@@RedskullProhow do I open a claim bro. Been trying and feel like I can’t do anything
60 vs 250 is crazy, the only feature missing is the head tracking
And the sound quality! This clone isn't the best for sound...I'm sure that will change soon...but not this one :)

no way they actually have all the apple pairing functionality in fake ones. that's insane. is there nothing apple can do about it?
Yes, let this price drop, it's ridiculous.

Open a claim with eBay, you will get your money back. Ebay is pretty good with fake products and buyer protection
@ yeah that’s what I’m gonna have to do thanks
I’ve notice at connection the fake one said not your AirPods and the real ones said only airpods
Cuz the real ones were already connected to his at least one time before

Does the fake ones have warranty on your information and in website?
Thanks bro the best video for knowing if fake or real, Thanks!!🙏
Happy to help

Is Amazon one of them because I am not sure
Lost my original Airpods 4 charger box (case) , can I use a fake Airpods charging case to charge my original Airpods ? :) thanks.
No
Yes you can, it's just that this guy is super pressed about fakes lol
Airpods 4 ANC is better than Airpods 2 Gen Pro? Which one would you recommend to buy
Pro gen 2
i am watching this video with my new airpods 4 from Apple store, i am very chilled
That's the way to go! They sound so good! Better than I thought!
@ they do sound good👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😁
@@RedskullProi see wallmart has thr gen 3’s for $94 now.. are the basic gen 4’s worth the $129 price to upgrade?
No@@keithbellair9508
Hi, I bought airpods 4 ANC from an authorized store, but the airpods box says made in China, how is this possible? thanks 🙂
The manufacturing location can be different depending on the market where you buy the product. They can be made in China, Vietnam, India, etc
This video is like the equivalent of when a scammer tells you you’re the scammer
My cousin bought one from inmotion at a airport. Are they real?

A cheaper brand will 100% be better than some fake ones
Excellent, excellent, video!
Does AirPods 4 with anc from AliExpress in price of 101€ are original? The seller assures me that they are original. What’s your opinion?
No, very likely fake. What I think will happen… they will sell a bunch of them… ship fakes and than close the store 🤷♂️ spend a bit more and buy them from Amazon or Apple.
@@RedskullProwhat about AirPod 4s from Amazon becuase mine are showing signs of real and fake
Mine are fake. Damn. Checked the serial and it said good.
Airport Pro2 USB-C KH/A Korea assembled in china ? Fake or Real?
could be real. The place of assembly will be different depending the market/location where the product is intended for
Thanks buddy, a very good infor.
No problem 👍
Got scammed….
The box on the outside had the extra writing like the real one but everything on the inside was fake… ridiculous
that sucks...

My AirPods had the assembled in china but they had all the features as the real ones
they can be assembled in more countries. Very likely they are real
They do make them in china sooo it js depends on the pair with that one
Everything is fake 😃
Indeed!
i think you accidentally swapped the real and fake tags in the video
nope
I got mine from Walmart and they are real thank you
walmart purchase will be real 100%
Have the Fake AirPods 4 ANC?
Some do… some don’t. Depends where you buy them
I just bought a fake one! 😢
Actually i bought a fake one u like yours all the elements where identical to the real in this video even my iphone 16 pro max thought its real i swear and yeah i payed 15 $ only
crazy, only $15! I paid like $45 for these ones
where did you get it from ? i want airpod gen 4 but im lowkey brokeee
@@redblueberry1257try dhgate
ali express sell these for £15 inc delivery - they're good enough for me
Had no idea there were fake ones
Many of them!
Why apple is not working on their OS to tell the AirPods you’re trying to connect are not genuine. 🤷🏻♂️
Good question…
They do have that feature but its a constant battle between the fakers and apple.
I don’t care if they are free, I would Never use Apple AirPods, they are Terrible!!!
You aren’t wrong… any other $100 from other brands sound better
@@RedskullProlike what? No silicone tips please

happens..i don't think she knew
I got scammed
:(
Looks like its as simple as the missing lower label on the back of box with the charger capability info,
Could be… but those fake boxes always change and get better 🤷♂️
Wait I lost my charging case for my real AirPod 4s and I really only need a case so I’m wondering if the fake case can charge the actual AirPods thank you😊
It will depend on the case. Mine happens to charge the original ones
Great video! Just got one on EBay for $100 new with the help of your video. I wouldn’t have known without your help👍
Glad I could help!
