    An Apple counterfeiter sent us a pair of fake AirPods Max to review, claiming they are the best replicas on the market and the best headphones under $200. Let's see if they're up to snuff.

    To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.

    Apple has a standard way of doing this for airpods, and they used this framework for airpod pros, and the airpod max. So they have a starting point from the airpod clones they've likely made too in the past.

      They might be right if you're only considering wireless headphones with all of the features they have. Obviously they can't compete with an old school pair of wired headphones like the Sony MDR7506, but the battery, amplifier, microphones, etc. is the majority of the cost. Converting the MDR7506 into wireless headphones with the same features would cost more than $100.

    Ever since RoHS took effect, lead weights have become pretty rare. Most people use a tungsten alloy that has the same density as lead. It could be lead though, it's hard to tell from the video.

    • @chunkymunky4165
      @chunkymunky4165 2 роки тому +56

      It's definitely not tungsten. Tungsten is super expensive. Tungsten also isn't malleable at room temperature. I'd say it could be led. It's most likely a steel alloy, not straight up steel.

    • @pr0xZen
      @pr0xZen 2 роки тому +37

      Probably zink, but certainly not improbable its actually lead. Zink is reasonably close to density of lead, easily cast, machined and processed (softer than gold), low toxicity, and cheap. One of the cheapest common-use metals these days, along with lead and iron.
      Could be tin too, tin like zink has many of the same or very close properties as lead (including patina when moderately oxidized), but tin is way closer in hardness to lead. Tin is way more expensive though, but oxidize less easily. Zink is commonly used as a sacrificial anode on marine vessels and equipment, because of its mode of oxidation and corrosion, and it's low cost considering its relatively massive galvanic potential distance from most other metals including most steels.
      Zink is still ~50% more expensive than lead (per weight, about equal per volume) but tin is 15 times as expensive as lead (per weight). Lead is in a few aspects more costly than it once was, but it's still half the price of mild steel.

    • @pr0xZen
      @pr0xZen 2 роки тому +2

      In these very small quantities for a high value vs material use product, pricing isn't really that much of a consideration though. There's serious expenditures sunken into making this thing be as it is in most other aspects; it's certainly not a minimum cost production. They'd easily go with tin over zink or lead if that provided some other small process or availability benefit.

      @@pr0xZen Pure steel yes, especially if you are using grades like 316 yes. A steel alloy is fractions of pure zink. Steel alloys are mixed with other metals usually made from recycled parts, making them fractions cheaper. Steel has a very weird state of properties depending on how it's forged and what other things are forged with it.. Take damascus steel for example. To this day the original damascus process is lost to time. If you heat steel and quench it in oil it will absorb the carbon. Steel has a very broad set properties.

    When the Apple iPad was first released, I waited for a knock off version of it. After some shipping problems, I eventually got it and that's when I learned I should have gotten the real iPad. This fake iPad obviously ran Android OS on it, but the experience using it was bad. It was slow, had a plastic touchscreen which "bounced" when I typed on it, and the battery life sucked. I think it was the first electronic device I just threw away after a month of use (normally I either erase and reinstall the OS on a computer and give it to a family member or sell it).

    What Linus said about "in-between" products is very true, and same goes for watches. You can buy a fake rolex for $50 and it will be quite shit, but it will sort of look like a rolex. However, if you got and pay $400-500 you will be getting a replica that can quite easily pass of as real.
