    🐐Forum post by Joric with more info (scroll down to see the comment): www.head-fi.or...
    🐐Steps to get to developer settings on Android:
    1. Go to settings - about phone - software info - build number
    2. Tap build number a few times (it should say something like "you are 3 taps away from being a developer" - just keep tapping)
    3. Back to the settings menu, scroll to the bottom and you should see "developer options"
    4. Scroll down in developer options to the Bluetooth section
    5. Look for "Bluetooth audio codec". Whilst connected to the real headphones this should say "aptX". Anything else and they're probably fake (mine say AAC)

    Man, thank you for this series of videos! I've tested mines with several devices so far (including an LG G6 in a store) and the APTX didn't worked at all, I've opened a complain against the store that I've bought, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get a refund, I'm so pissed, this things here in Brazil cost like ~ U$$ 225.

    Hey man. Do you know if they are faking the wired version too? I have one for 1 and a half year. They stopped working one side (they only work in the side they are plugged). I started searching some information and came across your video. I think mine may be fake, but all the things you said I can't use to spot. Mine doesn't have bluetooth, I don't have the box anymore and the spring I pushed it so much that is very large, I bought mine on amazon for $155.95 from "Grey Dealz". Is there anyway to spot if they are fake?

    • @Gliphyx
      @Gliphyx  5 років тому +1

      Ah that's tough with the wired ones as they're easier to fake (no Bluetooth tech obviously), however I've not seen anything when I was researching mine so have a feeling it's less common to have fakes of wired.
      I'd recommend speaking to Marshall as it's possible they would fix them under warranty (unsure how long warranty is tho) unless they turn out fake. Either way u got a good year and a half out of them so even if fake that's not bad going!
      Side note: gotta add that "Grey Dealz" is the dodgiest sounding seller name I've ever heard 😂

      I've got the original ones now, they have MUCH better battery (seriously don't charge them for weeks), better audio quality (although the fakes were actually very good), and the wires don't get trapped under the earcups.
      Think my original ones were around £180, but I got them a while ago.

    Hi Gliphyx, Thanks a lot, your description really helped me out. Actually my ones turned out to be the real ones (yay!). Nevertheless, as you said you got a new original pair from Marshall, I wanted to ask how good is your bluetooth connection? (My one sucks to be honest). Also, can you hear a slight constant static noise (is that normal?) while listening to music or watching eg. youtube? (especially when I press the pause button I can hear a slight murmuring). I will be really glad if you could provide me your feedback.

    The real headphones must be really good for someone to create a nearly exact replica of these headphones. It appears that there are fakes of sever different models. They would not make a replica of something where there is no demand. I checked your videos and do not see a review of an authentic version. Did you ever get an official version?

    • @Gliphyx
      @Gliphyx  4 роки тому +1

      I did get the real ones and they're great! Reason there are so many quality fakes could be because of some dodgy factory they're using which doesn't take proper control over the stock - it's likely they use some genuine parts in the build and then save on the electronics or certain components.

    This was a Really Helpful video.... but sadly my 30min old marshal monitor headphones turned out to be FAKE. I just turned 11yrs old and I was after my dad to buy the Marshall monitor headphones finally he bought them 1week before my birthday so they would arrive here near my birthday. It did and after this vid, I saw literally all of the mistakes in my 1 headphone:
    - A poor quality pic in front
    - Instead, Qualcomm is said ualcomm
    - The Brass(not sure gold or whatever are as the Left and Right) were palish yellow)
    - Lastly, the spring is no tight
    After that, I was so sad since I wanted these and was so excited but turned out to be fake. Tomorrow I will see about the Bluetooth aptX trick to figure out if they are fake since Right now they are charging. I Got them like for 115$ I think. Before I knew these were fake I checked for if the left gives more sound or right on 1 youtube video but it turned out to be opposite to the real signs like when it said left from the Right volume came, I think this is another way not sure if these are another way to spot them... Anyway :(

    Hello, thanks for video. I have spotted that mine monitors are fake too...
    I wrote to seller and marshall. Seller asked me to prove that they are fake, I just gave them some links (including your video :)), we will see what they say.
    When it comes to marshall, They were not helpfull at all. I sent them many detailed photos and kindly asked for help, but they just replied that they cant help me via mail. I asked if not via mail than how? They replied that they wont help me. So, kind replies but completely zero help.
    I am really disappointed about marshall customer service. I'm user of 3 different pairs headphones from marshall and other music stuff. It was first time I need their help and didint get any.
    Hope at least I will succes with returning these fake monitors to seller...

      @Gliphyx  4 роки тому

      Aptx is just a new Bluetooth type that offers better audio quality, at the expense of slightly worse signal. Signal is only really noticeable when you're in a high wireless area like a train station tho where there's lots of different signals around it breaks up a little. Thanks for watching ✌️
