A couple minor things you missed: the case on the KO (knockoff) has blue lights, whereas the lights on the real case only go from green to yellow to red based on charge level. Also, as someone else pointed out, the KO has lights on the Buds themselves...the real deal has no such nonsense.
I think mine are fake but they are exactly like mine but no features on wearable although I'm not sure yet because my real buds wouldn't either until a month
Well, I bought mine through the respected online store and discovered they were fake only when tried to connect to Samsung Wearable app. My phone didn't see the buds. In general, the copy I've got was finely made, you hardly could guess it wasn't an original one. Sad to loose money especially when living in Ukraine (((
Thank you for doing this video because I got a pair for $199 on Christmas I wasn't sure about the real vs fake galaxy buds pro I got the real ones but I got fake ones from Walmart I'm glad I got the real deal earbuds because you never know what your buying these especially high quality earbuds I feel like I'm glad I didn't get the fake one I paid $199 for mine
I'm pretty certain both boxes are authentic. My live box is the same as the product your saying is fake yet my lives connect seamlessly and works on the wearable app too. Maybe check which country the product is from? As mine say UK (thats where im from). Maybe you have 2 products from different countries hence why the boxes may slightly differ.
I just got mine the fake one. But its super copy and the sound quality is mind blowing and the noise canceling work fine(cannot even hearing people speak at 40% volume of music play). Almost 98% like the real one (the light indicator was blue and red)(the real one light indicator was, green, yellow and red).
That's weird, I got mine from Amazon and it's with the Fake one box that has no Samsung writings on the back but it does everything the real one does. It has an issue if anyone would help me solve I would be very thankful.
I bought a pair of WISH for $30 which were rated %90 brand new. The problem I had is figuring out how they fit in your ears. The main speaker goes at the bottom where your ear canal is and the other two speakers go up towards the top of your ear.
the printing of terms and conditions and extras on the package depends on laws of the country that manufactures particular product. If it connects to app and if you are able to do software update on buds, its authentic.
I've seen a good way to spot a fake. Check the serial no. Vs. what's on the box. Eg. My serial no. Was for a white pair. SM-R180NZWAXAC but the box display black. So if your buying bear that as first point to look for. If that all matches. And it's sealed. Connect it up to the app. The app gives a picture of your "product " if that's wrong and things are greyed and won't connect. You got a fake.
So, you buy the fake ones, then go to Walmart and get the real ones, put the fake case and buds in the real package, and return them, while keeping the real ones. You could even go as far as our purchasing the buds pro and placing the fake lives in the box and returning them, since the case is identical and the majority of people working the return register, just glance inside to make sure the product is in their. They would never notice the difference, unless they are completely familiar with the buds live and pros.
I literally just bought mine from Walmart and they are fake. I knew they were as soon as I opened the package and felt how light they are in comparison with the real ones that I already had…
I lost my left ear bud can u make a video with the fake right one paired in the orginal case and let the people know if it would still pair and sync? Replacement is 100 for One ear bud thats like 5 pairs of fake ones lol😊
the printing of terms and conditions and extras on the package depends on laws of the country that manufactures particular product. If it connects to app and if you are able to do software update on buds, its authentic.
So i got the buds live and on the back of box it writes like on fake ones in your video but they can pair with my phone on app but i need to turn on bluetooth too ,so idk if they are fake or nah rn?
Heyy Robo, the printing of terms and conditions and extras on the package depends on laws of the country that manufactures particular product. If it connects to app and if you are able to do software update on buds, its authentic.
Both sound similar but the the Samsung bud has a more richer bass. I'm not sure where exactly it was made, but from what I reading a lot of fake Samsung product are coming from Vietnam.
@@thaigers Thanks, I have the real ones and for that kind of outside the ear canal design the bass will never be the best though I do enjoy other aspects of them. Was wondering whether they came from a legit site (Amazon, AliExpress, etc.) being passed off as real or some other website/real life market etc.
@@thaigers Thanks, to be honest if $40 then even if the bass is a little worse than the real ones could still be fair value..even just to see if one likes that style of earbud (and maybe get the real one in the future if so)
Idk if mine was original or fake...they can pair with samsung wearable and Seller says orignal .. other function works well ..but only the box..like its shows..dont have a mark says samsung 2020
The noise cancellation on the clone is not bad, after testing you can hear background just a little bit louder not much. But on the real live buds, you have an option of turning noise cancellation off.
I have similar fakes and it always shows red when charging. It doesn't tell you when fully charged so it's super annoying as you can't link them to your phone and when linked by bluetooth it just says 100% or 60%.
In the beginning I thought I had the fake ones because I could feel the fonts like the one on the right lol. But then you switched to the left one as fake pointing out the label doesn't say 2020 Samsung electronics which mine didn't. So now I was super confused lol Then it passed the case thing and Samsung Wearable stuff so I'm happy now lol
Maybe its not fake...samsung products differ by region and operate and even look slightly diffrent. I meen why would wireless charging be on a fake earbud...? Maybe the buds does not work with your reigons app because its diffrent..
The sound quality is pretty decent on my fakes, they just seem uncomfortable to wear and you have no idea when fully charged or not as only has blue or red lights. Blue means on, red means charging I think but not 100 % but the fact there is no green or amber is the thing which stuck out for me.
But is the fake one really that bad ? Cuz i bought a pair and the only problem i've encoutered is the battery and the lights (wich is pretty annoying ngl) but besides that i didn't really notice anything
@@pamelaabea4882 the seller gaved me the fake one and the real Buds live photod on Facebook marketplace have been taken were real which it was misleading.
This guy is misleading the audience. Latterly, he is promoting the fake once as a solid piece. However, he didn't realize that he indicated to the very real ones in the beginning.

Doesn't it supposed to connect via Bluetooth in order for you to listen to music from your phone?
Why is there no equalizer on my Wearable App? No touch control settings too.
You bought a fake, equalizer is on earbuds settings on the app. All these features are disable when you buy a fake live buds.
@@thaigers No, the buds work fine with the app. My Wearable app has a different interface. Instead of the knob thing, it's just a list for equalizer.
