    Had fakes, didn’t realize until I broke the case by accident and if the inside wasn’t enough to tip me off, the replacement case I bought just slightly didn’t fit my fake pods. Very amazed by the sound quality of the fakes I got and ability to do noise cancelation and transparency, their software integration was impressive too, had me fooled for months as they were better than my 4 year old first gens. Unfortunately now I have to get real pods to go with my new real case

    thank you! I got mine from eBay, sold as open box, which is why I thought they were cheap. But they came in new packaging, which might have had someone less discerning to feel great. Everything about them seemed real, but your video helped me determine that they weren't. I searched a number of posts that purported to show the difference in counterfeit ones, but your video was the best. The clincher was the weigh test. The real ones should weigh 5 g each. Mine were less than 4g.

    Even though fake ones sound slightly different and seem cheaper, I would definitely buy them instead of spending 300$ on the real ones. 260$ difference just for the things mentioned in this video? arguuh, not worth it at all. The fake ones will do, and I had them for almost 2 years, but they broke down, which is reasonable given that they cost me 20$ back then.

Also when you click serial info of your airpods at your phone first it shows of your case serial than click it twice it shows right and left ear pods serials in a row which fake ones doesn't have it.

    Just bought some fakes, a few other things to note:
    1) The fake case cover will wiggle around and feel loose and cheap
    2) That serial number thats on the case that checks out with the box is DIFFERENT from what is shown if you go into settings and find it from the airpods settings.
    3) You can switch between the three modes via settings but cannot switch it on the airpods themselves. Both earpieces toggle siri. The sound that you are supposed to hear when switching between all three is also different and it sounds cut off and muffled.
    4) The peeling on the back on the fakes do not come off easily. Keep that in mind.
    5) I also found that overall sound quality sounds muffled or washed out on the fake ones. I hate it.
    Dont make the same mistake I did.

    Well, some of those “faults” have been fixed on newer clones. The font is closer to the real thing and the volume control is present on most if not all newer clones, as well as a working speaker that makes sound while charging, connecting them or opening them up. The box is still not fully yet there on quality tho.

    I received my AirPods Pro 2 yesterday afternoon. Today, I went down my local pub with my tech bag, including 11"M1 iPad Pro and APP 2 today for lunch and a few drinks. I found the noise cancelling excellent. Even though I deliberately sat by one of the quad speakers blasting out pop and rap, when I was watching content, I heard nothing from the speaker or the chatty people in the pub. Even when I was composing a response, the noise level was significantly lower than on the earlier model.
    And the Transparency Mode is so much clearer. It really is. I paid £225 for them (down from the same price in pounds as you do in dollars in the USA). I don't regret the expense at all. This is a significant upgrade.

    The fake ones I got (Sept 2023), are so close that my Apple Support app even shows AppleCare+ warranty. And yes, all the warnings in this video, my fakes passed. Metal lanyard ring ✅. Fonts ✅. Tones when you connect and Find Me ✅. Even personalising spatial audio works.
    And they function like a real pair including ANC.
    The only way Apple can tell they’re fakes is they have an “internal system” which doesn’t show my serial number in their inventory.
    Do they fail any test? Well the lightning port was a little loose. That triggered the Genius.
    Am I happy, regardless? Yes. They’ll do until the AirPod Pro 3 comes out in the meantime.
    A word of caution: the fakes are now so good, you’re probably going to have to buy retail to make sure you don’t get stung.

The noise canceling is fine, the transparency mode works too but it’s still working far worst then the original has. And lastly and most importantly, the audio quality, imo it’s fine, but far from good, they sound more « sharp » but in a bad way, and they also very oftenly struggle with reproducing some sounds so they end up muffled. In the end, I would only recommend you getting a pair if youre going for their looks, other then that theyre pretty much worst then your average 40$ pair you’ll find out there on the market.

I didn't realize they were Fake until I compared them side by side with my real ones. The other Red flag is the Warranty. They show that they are Expired when the Box clearly says manufactured in 2023. They usually have a 2 year warranty. Another thing I noticed was the sound quality. They didn't seem to be as loud as the real ones. Lastly, the light on the fake ones aren't as bright as the real ones.

Also the real one the cut out at the top of the manual packaging is much smaller and as wide as the fake ones are. Also the corners of the box is more smooth and even and perfect and more sharp defined edges. The fake ones the edges are sloppy and not sharp and have tiny defects and unevenness or extra loose material sticking out at the corners.

    My daughter once bought a pair pair of fake EarPods. We knew they were fake, they were advertised as fakes and cost a little less than half as much as the real EarPods, I think she said they cost around $80. But they looked to same, and sounded the same. Or close enough it was difficult to hear the difference. But within 3 months, the battery life started going to hell. Within 6, maybe 7 months the battery life was down to an hour or so between full charges. She also noticed the range from her device was noticeably less. Maybe 20, 25 feet, and if there were walls or doors between her and the fake EarPods, the signal would cut out. The last I heard, they now take up space in her junk drawer.

If the person you bought from had like no sales and nothing to purchase except the iPods then their whole account is fake and it's your fault if you purchased from such a person, but if they have high rating and lots of products to buy then they're real.

    1. Made in Vietnams or Assembled in Vietnam- Fake
    2. Same serial number on left inside of charger and box
    3. Tip holder the 1 side is not raised. They have updated so the tips click on to a circle
    4. Box description they still have it device,iPadOS device, Apple Watch,or Mac (missing the spaces) and the 3rd os from top is not capitalized.
    5. Hold phone light up to charge lid...nothing on the sides (hollow)
    6. Box and all weigh 194g
    7. Each ear bud is 4g
    8. Still plastic for where the charger sits
    9. Tape around cable is glued
    10. Try to pull plastic away from charger in front of where the buds sit...fake pulls away fairly easy
    11. Charge cap the recycle icon is on the right side.
    12. Ive also seen video of speaker holes has mesh mine is a shiny metal mesh not sure what real has.
    13. Mine does chime 1x when plugging in
    I dint have iPhone but bought these 2 off FB for my kids for Christmas and they both say connectivity issues. Son is 21 so he was the one that informed me there were fake and sent me a basic link on the difference. Hope this helps.

      So I just bought 2 new at ATT....
      Box is smaller and white.
      The seal is not perforated like the fake. Also the picture on the box of the charger has the cable (real)
      Real confirmed 246g
      Oh wow the pictures of the buds themselves on box has shinny reflection. Real also made in Vietnam. I'll add more when I find

    Amazing video! Mine was all correct - except for one capital letter and the bass sounds. They are getting too close aesthetically to the real ones

      Below the “microphone” setting there should be a toggle button for “Enable Charging Case Sounds” when you are connected via Bluetooth
