- In this video I will show you the differences between the fake and real Apple AirPods Pro 2 and how to easily spot the fake Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)
Find the original Apple Airpods Pro 2 on Amazon: geni.us/jSwrzI
I found the other ones on aliexpress: geni.us/X0M2
Throughout this video I will show you everything there is to know so you can easily spot the fake Airpods Pro 2 and not be fooled into buying the fake ones believing that they are real.
Even though the fake earbuds look the same, the performance, quality and reliability will never be the same as the original product. Always get your Apple products from an authorized reseller.

Same
Bro my airpods pro 2 is original but it says “not your airpods pro” on first set up, i bought this from apple and there is a warranty in the settings like what you showed on your video
This is actually absolutely astonishing how well the fakes are made. From the build quality I would NEVER be able to tell.
Yeah, they got really good
Where did you get the fake airpods from
@@49KeyzBeatsSooo valid. I just got fake AirPod Pro 2, and they work amazing so far. They connected to my phone and IPad instantly and they are seeming like the real thing. It was only $100. I think its a steal in my opinion because I wasn’t willing to pay $250+ for the real thing even though I didn’t know I was getting fake ones to begin with.
I bought some for $50 everything checks out fake but going into AirPods Pro setting it has warranty information 😊
@@jose951jam I bought mine for $40 and it said coverage has expired
Watching this with my fake airpods
😂
😂😂😂😂
Same here😂
Same😂
😂😂😂 same
Okay cool now I’m ordering fake ones before get scammed by apple 💀
so fucking true. The part where you can see how much Apple leaves margin.
Haha
@@None_Zero little update. I ended up paying 270.31$ because I’ll have to wait around 2 weeks to 2 months to get fake ones whit the stock price. Scammer’s are selling the fake ones around 120-150 and I have no clue if at least they are selling good fake ones
@@alainvargas4927 I mean the sound quality and noise cancellation are the same as buying ones from a gas station plus fake ones break easily and don’t last really long buying one from like a gas station or Office Depot is cheaper and better lmao
@@kittty2222 speaking from experience?
Ok but why would you use GREEN for the FAKE airpods, and ORANGE for the REAL ones??
Is this important?
Maybe cuz hes talking about how to know your real ones, and orange is a shade of red, therefore the colour that would most likely catch your eye.

I wanted to send you a personal thank you for what you have done here and your hard work I recently purchased a set of pros off eBay before I seen your video. Thanks to you within 10 minutes of opening it. I knew they were fake and I was able to prove that they were fake and get my money back, I later purchased a set at Walmart and believe me there’s a huge difference that I would not have known that if it wasn’t for you, thank you
Great to hear! I’m glad the video was helpful!
Ok i bought mine from Walmart so i should be good 🙏🏾
@@SKYWALKER4EA sometimes walmart onese are fake because people buy real ones and return fake ones and they put them back on the shelf
The fake ones got so good mine even has a warranty 😂
Same !!!
I was looking at a pair on the secondhand market and they had all the signs of a fake that you presented in your video. Thank you for saving me from being scammed.
You just saved me a lot of money. The seller handed me the fake product and everything that you said about the fake product matched the airpods that he was trying to sell me. Thank you so much. Love from India.
Where did you get them from?
7:57 A big giveaway that the ones you have are fake is that the real ones have the adaptive transparency option in the airpod's settings while the fake ones don't.
I dont know about airpods pro 2 but my fake airpods pro 1 are so good, when i went buying them i stuck with all the warning signs, it passed with flying colours.
It has everything even the ANC and transparency in the audio settings, shows in FindMy and even shined a light under it to see the hinge and its the same as the original.
The only reason i even knew they were fake was because i bought 2 and they had the same serial number.
Otherwise some copies out there are outstandingly good and very hard to tell apart.
Thank you this was very informative. Many of the things you outlined were exactly like what you showed. Most notable was the ability to turn on noise cancelling on even when not in your ears. The plastic on the sides is not mesh. The cardboard insert was plastic. The green arrow on the earbud spares was a dull green and not a bright green. The cable wrapping was like your fakes. The printing on the Airpods is too small to read. However, the only difference was the warranty was listed as Apple Care +. When I did pair them I do recall the Airpods saying something like Not your AirPods Pro. I'd recently used my daughter AirPod Pros and I could definitely tell the difference which is what made me watch your video in the first place. Fortunately, I only paid $85 and should have known from low price.
I’m glad the video was useful. Too bad those are fake
@@RedskullProhi, thank you so much for making this video, it was very informative. I noticed all the red flags (the spelling mistakes in the label, the same serial number in the 4 items, the sound quality and the fact that I can activate the transparency mode without having the AirPods in my ear). However, when I first connected them to my phone, I received 6 months free for Apple Music and even Apple Care in the warranty information. Can fakes have that?
Hi Tristyn, Thanks for sharing your honest feedback on this 2 year sub 5% bodyfat journey. Now from this experience, what would you say is the timeframe for trying to get to 5% and how long would you recommend to stay there? In other words, if you’d need to get to 5% again, how long would you try to stick to it once you hit 5%. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.
the best video that covers this topic! thank you!!
This video was incredibly helpful. I was tempted to purchase the second-generation AirPods Pro for $60 lightening port version though they were out of warranty and priced very low. My friend mentioned that these were unsold products, explaining the low price. After watching this video, I gained clarity and managed to save my hard-earned money.
Happy to help!
$60 is a good deal on knock offs. They work great.
After my daughter got genuine pro 2’s, I was offered a fake set for £15 (about$18)
I was interested to see how good a copy they were, so bought them
Tear strips on the box are an immediate warning, but the initial look and feel of the contents would fool many people.
Sound and functionality was surprisingly good, so good that I actually swapped them with my daughters originals without telling her. She used them for a week, with no complaints before I switched them back
Videos like this, that point out what to look for are a so important for many people
$18 is a pretty good price for wireless earbuds… but yeah, many people sell them as original unfortunately
@@RedskullPro if I never knew the guy, I’m sure he’d be selling them as original, at a much higher price. What amazed me though, was how convincing they were if you never knew better
@@RedskullPro another red alert I found for the fakes is the spare ear buds. When you open them, they are loose, on the originals they are fixed. Plus on the fakes, you can’t actually change the ear buds
Hi how are you? Where u buy for this price
@@RedskullPro i already got airpod 2 and beats pro but i wanna get a fake one for the f of it spending like 5% of the orginal price and getting about 95% of the product is worth it i would say
This was extremely helpful, thankyou!
I paid $20 for a pair. They sound almost as good as my same priced wired KZ's, they connect flawlessly and built very nice. Really good deal for the price.
Exactly. Apple are the real scammers here, and the chinese prove it hahah - probably both are built in the same factory even 🤣🤣🤣
As soon I used the noice cancellation I knew
I got the fake ones and they sound very good and work so well with my iPhone. For the price that I got these for, it still feels like a massive steal. Nobody will even tell that they’re fake from a glance anyway so I guess it’s a win! 😂
As long as you didn’t pay too much for them it’s all good
what about talking on them?
Fr I just bought some for $80 and honestly you literally wont be able to tell they’re fake unless you inspect them up close, so it’s a Win Imo!
Ya man I’m very happy with mine. 80 bucks and the sound is amazing. Enjoy
@@martinez5657 A lady (who said she works at Amazon) came into my salon today selling these for $150. Claiming it’s MSRP $300 (it’s actually $249.99 but $199.99 at Walmart). I declined because I wouldn’t be able to tell if they’re real or fake without taking time to watch this video. She insisted I can open the seal and check. Serial checker came out legit as it ends in Dec 2023. Connects quick and fine like my regular Gen2. Box and build looks legit. I still declined because I don’t like the Pros with the seal cups. She dropped down to $100. My coworker picked up one. After she left I watch this video. Check with the guy next door as he owns a phone repair shop. Says it legit. So at $100 (cash no tax) was a great deal. Maybe I should’ve picked one up too. 😅
Can the fake ones switch from iPhone to iPad or do you have to manually connect to another device
Thank you so much red skull! The build quality of these fakes are so good I did not realize until I noticed that pull tabs tore of .
Listening on a fake one and laughing so hard
SUPER Helpful!! It's all in the details. Thank you so much for the video! 👏🏽👏🏼👏🏿👏🏻
I’m glad it was useful! Thanks for watching!
Hey Redskul, thanks for the video. I spent $240 on the AirPods as a present for my brother and it turns out they where fake and i could not get my money back. Thanks for the content, keep it up!!
Oh no 🫣 so much money for fake ones… sorry to hear
They are getting better and better. The thing is the fakes are actually very good. The 4.9TB models have 8-10 hours of listening time. ANC, Spatial Audio, Find My, and the controls on the AirPods all work the same. They actually have better bass than the real ones. They can be updated to get around the IOS16 warning. The 2nd Gen clones however are not very good yet. The sound quality isn't as good. ANC isn't as good. In a year they will be just as good as the real ones. TBH for $60 you're getting a better value on the 4.9TB (1st Gen Pro) clones.
Also worth mentioning the hinge is usually the dead giveaway. The finish is hard to reproduce.
So would you say that the new 5.0 Pro 2 fakes are worse than the 4.9 Pro 1?
where can i get the 4.9 tb model?
❤ love this comment finally someone I found who thinks same like me
Where can I get the replica first gen?
@@iam.toby__1434 dhgate. They have us sellers so u don't have to wait longer than a week. Look 4 us stock
Thank You so much! You just saved me from going to buy a a pair of fakes from someone I was meeting tomorrow. I watched your video, went back and looked closely at the pictures and seen more than 1 red flag. Again, thank you!
I’m glad the video helped!
Here in India, fake ones are sold as fake ones for under $10 so good they are being honest.
But scammers are selling same for around $100-200.
I bought mine last week from apple store and had apple care plus included right away.
Now in settings,my warranty do show till 2024..
Redskull I may have bought fake ones the MagSafe tag didn’t come off in one piece and there was gaps on the ear bud piece packaging but the serial numbers were different on each airpod and there is Apple care warranty on them are they fake?
awesome video, so many things in one video quick and simple
Writings on the case are different from region to region. Only way to determine if it's real or fake is warranty info. This is also tricky because Chinese sellers often sell products with same product number.
yeah, the serial numbers are copied from the real products...
@@RedskullPro “i got mine from a random shop in dubai the case all looked real until connected mine to to my ipad in bluetooth it was. named airpods pro and said the same you should on the fake one but i am confused if i have real or fake.”
So if mines have a warranty info they’re real??
@@yvng_ev8492 Best way to check is firmware update. Latest version for APP2 is 6A303.
Excellent video and very well detailed points. There must be many more different details regarding internal components, such as soldering, battery quality, electronic design, etc.
I don't know what the norm or rules are in terms of marketing but I wonder if it will be effective for authorized dealers to have a copy of fake ones so customers can see the differences.
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for checking out the video!
Well, it’s not like people are going to buy them and dismantle them to check the soldering?! 🤦🏽♂️
@@chrisjenkins203 I don't mean that people disarm them. The store could have some components on display for the customer to see the quality and the difference. What a stupid comment.
@@peter_shadow7559 And what difference will see a regular customer between a two exposed motherboards(for example)? @chrisjenkins203 - Very relevant comment
You saved me from buying a set of fakes. Thanks!!!!
Thanks for this peace of mind 👍
Hey quick update here, so recently I have seen some clones that have replicated the plastic wrap around the AirPods case, it features now the pull tab, the text on the back of the wrap and looks much better done, I have also seen clones with pull tabs on the back without those “holes” underneath of the dotted line. So they are improving them. You can still tell them apart tho trough the overall quality of the box and the overall color of the box. But some aspects have been improved upon on the fakes, so be sure to beware!
I swear I bought fake ones, and I knew they were fake when I bought them so i wasn't too pressed. But it shows me the warranty and shows up in the find my iphone place. So I'm VERY confused
Don’t be. They managed to replicate that too. Take in mind they probably get the serial number on those fake AirPods from real AirPods, and that is how they get them to show as legit AirPods, because the serial number comes from legit AirPods. Clones are getting slowly but surely almost impossible to distinguish from the real deal.
@@s0n1cd3vI'm starting to wonder if that's a bad thing. If they can manage to get the same or close to the same results for a fraction of the price then I'm for it. I don't care about the brand as much as features and value.
My friend got a pair of these, didn't realize they were fakes until tried to change the ear tips and one didn't come off at all. The case actually split apart completely when trying to remove it. If you don't have anything to compare against, and you use them as is out of the box, these are very accurate fakes.
Yeah, I bet there are many people that don't know they have fakes
wow this actually happened to me the other night lol i thought i was getting a steal for $50
@@redpillstepdadbro perhaps we got scammed by the same seller or sth lmao, getting one for $50 and couldn’t remove the ear tip on one side
Yeah I just bought three paid for $60 each. On the plus side, paying $170 for three air pod pros is still a deal as they cost less than one pair of the original. They're not horrible, and the differences are so minute. I wouldn't have bought them if they were even $80.00 because I was buying them for a child initially@@redpillstepdad
this video very helpful for me 😊
thanks a lot bro ❤❤❤
for the part of the expirey date not showing, I was gifted a pair of airpods pro (not sure which generation) and they show me the expirey date normally like normal airpods pro
Hey redskull mine has AppleCare+ for my 2nd generation AirPods but when I did the noise cancellation with the head tracker and with my phone and AirPod on the table I was still able to turn on noise cancellation is it real or fake?
If AppleCare plus is valid on it, it can’t be fake.
Thank you for that question. I was having the same issue and looked up the warranty and it said I had a limited Apple care warranty and so now I know mines are real ❤
But, just to be sure, if all else isn't proven go to an apple store near you and they'll tell you for sure if they're real or not. Some of these fakes use copied serial numbers from authentic airpods and paste them onto their fakes.
It is more clear explanation and I found fake one little more than what he explained. It shows warranty expired at last line and noise cancellation need to wear AirPods. Rest of the things are almost correct. But it is not sold as real, sellers sell as fake and 15$ in Vietnam. Sound quality and software is almost similar.
Thank you very much for putting this video out to educate us. Much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!
My airpod pro case and box matches serial number but I’m having issues seeing the pop up when you try to connect and having issues on phone call as well
It took me all the way to the 8 minute mark before I felt *super* confident that these are real since I bought mine renewed from Backmarket. Thank you for breaking this down. It's harder to tell nowadays.
My original one from Apple Store also came with plastic tray inside..
Good to know.
Great video. Very clear on the many ways to spot a fake starting from the box.
I’m glad the video was useful. Thanks for watching!
Amazing video extremely well done you make it very easy to tell the difference thanks
Thank you. Today following the guidelines of this video I was saved from being scammed from someone selling AirPods Pro on Facebook marketplace.
Few things were covered by the fakes including :
- It would show up as AirPod Pro on Bluetooth
- It would shop Apple coverage and expiry date.
Things that still remain, and allowed me to ascertain them as fakes.
- It had a plastic inner case instead of cardboard.
- Ser no on both buds and case was same.
- Plastic on microphone was detectable instead of a grill.
Thank you
Thanks for sharing and I'm glad the video was helpful!
Thanks for this info mate
How are they managing to fake Apple Coverage on the fake Airpods?
I just recieved a fake version and I completely agree with all the difference he said, for those who never used an original you won’t notice or know what you missing out on but since my wife had one I was able to tell from the audio quality, and the features. One thing that made my fake AirPod too sneaky was the fact it has warranty….. like wtf in Apple Store the serial number is registered as an actual AirPod bought in 5/1/2023 but they are faaaaake!!! It’s like some of these people steal actual case model numbers but replace them the AirPods with fakes
You just saved me a lot of money thank you 👍🏼 if not for this video I would have bought fake ones, thank you!!!
Thank you so much, Your tips are really helpful! I almost bought fakes too… They are really well imitated 😮 now I know how to avoid them 🙏🏻
Glad it was helpful!
So pretty much the best way he described to tell the difference is to check the serial number on the AirPods and serial number on the charger if they are different than they are real if they are the same they are fake
One of the best ways. I tried 20+ fakes and none of them had different serial numbers
Mine have different serial numbers all around and different in the settings also shows a valid warranty in the Bluetooth settings only found out they are fake because they cant update firmware and I called Apple to get them fixed they said the serial number has a long history they couldn’t discuss with me but I should get my money back it’s crazy how perfect these fakes are
Do fake airpods also have the serial number that can be checked on apple website?
yeah they can do, easiest way to tell is if there are 1) simple grammatical mistakes on the box - random double spacing, extra commas, etc .2) the serial number difference between the airpods themselves and the case/ box will rule out most fakes
YOUR TEACHINGS WERE MASSIVE BRO THANKS I LOVE YOU BRO🤪
Very useful. Thanks for great content
Thanks for checking out the video
I always just buy directly from Apple despite the price, I’m always paranoid of being scammed
Best plan!
Yes, better to be sure that is really Apple who scams you. 😂
@@nonethelesss 😂
I got lenovo lp40 pro for $1.50 and it’s really good , only stupid people pay $$$ to earbuds
you can buy them on best buy
Hello, I bought an Airpod Pro 2 today. I checked its serial number on Apple's website, it was correct and the other parts were original according to your video. But in the "Find iPhone" section, there is no option to find AirPods like Airtag, and it can only be found by voice. I don't know, maybe there should be a special option for it or I should have turned on the iPhone GPS to find it. Do you think my AirPods are original?
Where did you buy them from?
@@RedskullPro I bought it from one of the online sales sites, which is also valid, and the price was without discount.I connected the AirPods to the iPad Air 4, but there is no option to find the case by voice, and only the left and right AirPods can be found by voice, and there is no option to find the AirPods by flash (similar to Airtag).Once I connected the AirPods to my friend's iPhone 12, but again there was no ability to find the AirPods with flash in the financial process of the iPhone (of course, the GPS of the iPhone 12 was disabled).
@@RedskullPro Please compare the original AirPods with the fake in terms of "finding", as well. I checked the serial number of both your original and fake Airpods on the Apple site, and to my surprise, according to the Apple site Both of them are original !!
I've had this issue as well. I searched Google for this issue and tried it myself, which worked. Basically, just turn off the Find My in your iPhone and then turn it back on again after a few seconds. Afterwards, unpair your AirPods Pro to your iPhone and pair them again. Take note though that after you unpaired the AirPods to your iPhone you have to hold down the Setup button on the case for a few seconds to pair and bind them to your Apple ID and Find My servers.
It’s fake
Thanks for letting us know
Any time!
Is the same battery and sound I have use it but the original raw material is strong then second quality
Got the fakes and I love it 🥰
8:10 warranty shows up on the fake one as well. If I am getting 95% of the original product for 1/4 the price, its a steal deal
It's true.
Thanks for sharing
A really good and helpful video. Thank you for sharing!!!
Glad it was helpful!
I really don’t know what mine are. They look a lot like the things mentioned in the fake ones but I do see warranty data
I have the same case, what did you end up with may i know? Is it fake?
@@antonioszaouk5783 3 times I did buy fakes. On real ones every device has a different serial number. And when you go to see the serial number you can tip on the serial number and it will change and show the other serial numbers too. That would be case, left phone and right phone number
I'm telling my story, so I had been hacked, I bought a false aipod pro2. Warranty was live at the time I bought them. Now comparing the box to a real one I can see the difference, but as I never had an airpod before I did not spot. What was not working with the fake one are: firmware upgrade, charging with watch charger, paring with windows device and micro was an awaul quality that I was unable to use it therefor I brought it to the apple store te get it checked. They were checking almost for a month (not mentionning that it has been taken as a device under warranty and came out as a fake device after that month). Basically the fact that it is showing warranty does not mean much as it can be cloned. Locator was showing the 2 airpods separately. So be aware checking the serial on the warranty page does not mean that you have a real device!
Thanks for sharing with everyone
Well explained
Thank u so much, you don’t know how much you just helped me
I’m glad the video was helpful! Thanks for watching
Thanks! I checked out your video before picking up the airpods pro 2 from marketplace. I went to the location that was decided, we meet, I look at the first thing, pulling tab. There was neigher a straight line nor a dotted line, it was like entire thing was glued. First red flag, I asked the person if I can open it and check few more things, he was agitated by it, and said you can pay and then open it. I said, No, thank you! and he left very calmly. Clear sign it was a fake one. Please be aware, people are doing scam publicly.
Definitely fakes! I’m glad the video was helpful!
Who would ever let you open them and destroy half the value of selling them new? What if you open them but are wrongly convinced they’re fake? You just screw over an honest person? Yeah, cool story…
Yesterday I went to meet someone on offer to buy some and he told me I could open them and check. I did, and since they were a gift and I'd just opened them I ended up getting a second pair lol. They felt legit and looked legit. I would have known they were fake if I'd seen this first. However, people will let you open them first. I think that the reason why is because when you open them, they know that you won't be able to tell the difference right away and you will likely say okay and buy them.@@chrisjenkins203
The best guide to buy used airpods so far 👍
Glad it was helpful!
When i go into settings i see the limited warranty message pop up, but everything else you brought up in this video is different on my AirPods, so i still don’t know what to think.
Hey, thanks for the info. Crazy how well they're getting these days... I heard that the "Weight" test can be the easiest way to tell if buying on the go, if you're able to bring a small pocket scale that is. Appreciate your vids man, ill sub and follow along!
Thanks for the sub!
What’s the weight of the real AirPods 2?
@@Lewis714 google got you bro, quicker and more accurate then me trying to remember…
Pro tip: If the price looks too good to be true…
…it probably is!
That should always be the first thing to look out for!
Bro but that’s the problem, I am always checking on marketplace and people are selling real ones for under $200 dollars. Like looking at the pictures they look real and I really don’t want to spend $300 dollars on airpods
Yes I bought the fake ones and the things hang up on me and randomly press play for my music and have connectivity issues with left to right. Not worth the headache but they sound great!
Hopefully you didn’t pay too much for them
Very useful boss…saved me big time with this. Huge THANKS
Glad it helped
One mor thing to mention, spoke with apple support, fake pairs of airpods(2,3, pro and pro 2) will never receive ota update, so you will be stuck or update over 3rd party apps using android phone. Just to share the info with all fo you people. Black Friday is coming, stay safe and wise shopping!
Thanks for the tip!
Just bought these and mine are fake, however but I got the warranty information, also the serial numbers are different. I think they are improving.
Hi Zalex, thanks for the review
hallo
I might have the fake airpods pro 2 too as I bought them cheap from market place however it does show me warranty expiry date.
I also noticed, that the picture here (2:10), is a picture of the first generation of the AirPods, not the new ones! You can tell by the black bar on top is longer than the newer model. try to compare here; (2:08 & 2:10).
Wow, I didn't actually notice that!
Hahaha the fake one ,they used old picture pro 1
You say it’s the first generation? Then why does the box say 2nd.
Did they just pic diff stickers on it?
Thanks man 👍
@@youngballer5757 the scammers want it to look authentic. But they probably just missed the part with using the correct photo alongside the text
It just goes to show how much Apple are overcharging for their product when, as you say, the replicas sound very good and look identical .
I mean..we all knew what a scam apple is :)
imo, the retail ones are worth the price, awesome anc. the reps have awful anc right now.
@@lmc87lmc-archive95 some reps have amazing anc honestly, not too comparable to the genuine pro 2s, but for their price, some are hands down the BEST quality tws buds you can buy.
@@khxn9029 Yep, from my experience buying tigerbuilder airoha 1562AE 2 times, the anc stopped working after 2 weeks and turns out they both were faulty. Too many issues with reps for me
Prices are not only about the usefulness of the device. The price is also in the design, in the quality of the internal components, in the packaging, in the compatibility and durability. Every step a manufacturer takes to make it harder for counterfeiters costs money. Even the piece of cardboard that goes around the cable is more expensive than the one that comes in the fake ones.
Thanks this was very helpful!
No problem!
WHAT a great review, well made and sooooooooooooo easy to follow, congratulations 😁😁
Wow thank you for this. I've been seeing a ton of these on Facebook Market place for like half the price of the real ones and I was wondering why they were so cheap. I suspected they were probably fake, so when looking a the photos they provided, they were indeed fake. Careful everyone!
very good cheap fake ones!
Mine are fake damn it but it was 80$ luckly
just got mines for 60 lol
I just got saved thank you
Thank you sir for your honest content.
My pleasure
The “fake” AirPods that I got for $30 have everything the real ones have. Including the details with the box and having the metal and pull tabs and that tab for the AirPods themselves. Idk what to believe lol
Does Siri work when you put the earpiece in?
You probably got better fake ones than me
bro where have you bought it please?
There are other methods to identify fake airpods:
1-The weight between empty cases -fake vs real and weight between airpods fake vs real without case.
2-If you open the case and put a strong light inside the case you will observ the hidden components in the real once vs the fake!
The 1st one… well not many people have a scale at home :)
The 2nd one is a great tip!
Is there any absolute difference between the hidden components?
@@Unicorniomanco Yes, there is a difference. In the bright light you will notice the symmetry of the hidden components in the cover of the case to the
original ones, while the fake ones have no symmetry and there are much fewer components.
Another method is to weigh the airpods but without the case.
@@ADK208 Nice! Thanks for the tip
@@ADK208oh yeah and make sure you don’t tell anyone the weight they should be looking for. Just comment about it twice and how it “helps” spot the fakes. 🤦🏽♂️
You can also listen for audio chimes when you put them in your ears and also on the case where it is charging.
True!
YOUR VIDEO HELPED SO MUCH BEST ONE I HAVE SEEN
Edit* the sound quality is actually good for some reason
Some fake ones I tried have really good sound quality, almost as good as the original ones. Thanks for checking out the video!
It’s amazing how they show up similar to original ones on the phone you would think Apple wouldn’t allow that and they would have to connect as standard Bluetooth headphones?
Cause the good ones have the same shit inside
Link bro
At least Alex is always the real deal! Peace
As always! :) Thanks for stopping by Scott
Please note that you can turn on noise cancellation while the airpods are sitting next to phone only if “turn on noise cancellation with one AirPod” is on in accessibility settings.
I was definitely able to do it without, but I think this is good information for people to have. I am still conflicted on whether or not mine are faux.
Fabulous video. Thanks for posting
I’m glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching
my fake airpods were claimed as real and i didnt realize they were fake until i put them in my ears, everything was in tact even the warranty but it said it expired. but the box was off, a bigger thing you can tell that they are fake of the light isnt white and is green when you first connect them
I think mine are fake but I paid $100 for them from a local meetup reseller. It’s impressive that the fakes managed to have the integration with your iPhone that gives them functionality that the real ones have
I did to but I got the 1st Gen which were good but was missing a lot of Apple’s original Airpods Features such as Siri, Noice cancellation and more but they were ok
Same here but am getting a refund
I have noise cancellation but notice that Siri doesn't work and I am upset lol@@YoungProdiigy-_
Thanks I was about to buy 2nd hand on market place
Maybe best to spend the extra money and buy it from Apple directly
Thanks you 🙏🏼
I purchased fake ones from Morocco airport, they were $45 so being that i knew they would be fake but for $45 they not bad as a back up pair. I have the real ones and the opening experience of the box was a huge teller for me. They don’t noice cancel and they not as loud as the real. Also i did have warranty date in the setting so must have been good fake
SAME
I’m fairly certain I’m holding a pair of fake ones right now, but they tell me the warranty information. Counterfeiters can clone serial numbers though, can’t they? I’m almost convinced mine are fake. I’ve ordered a pair of real ones from Apple to check 😅
Same for me, except when I check coverage it shows under what I named them. But my anc and stuff isn’t working
Mine have the warranty in the settings but they are fake
Thank you for the detailed explanation
Glad it was helpful!
@@RedskullPro it really helped. I bought these AirPods through eBay for 80€ and the seller said „I got them as a gift“, but in reality is in the counterfeit business.
One thing that you didn’t mention is when scanning the bar code under the serial number it doesn’t work or show the serial that is above. It was for the first indication that something is wrong.
Anyway thank you 🙏🏼
Is it possible for the fakes to show warranty information inside of the settings? and your video you said that it will not have that information if they are fakes but I believe I have some fakes that show the information. I believe they are fake because of the sound quality and some of the small details with the box and lettering.
