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
@@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 $250+ for the real thing even though I didn’t know I was getting fake ones to begin with.
I wanted to send you a personal thank you for what you have done here and your hard work I recently purchased a set of pros off eBay before I seen your video. Thanks to you within 10 minutes of opening it. I knew they were fake and I was able to prove that they were fake and get my money back, I later purchased a set at Walmart and believe me there’s a huge difference that I would not have known that if it wasn’t for you, thank you
Yea i checked mines an they are fake but serial number goes through on apple store an i have warranty until 2025 an it say they are model airpods pro 2.
An they sound so smooth an high quality😂 everything works, i think they are real just depend where they made, some are assemble in china, japan, europe, use an vietnam.
@@CRT06 little update. I ended up paying 270.31$ 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
@@FreeEagle1998 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

@@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

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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
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! 😂
@@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. 😅
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?
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.
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.
@@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.”
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!!
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?
@@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.
@@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
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..
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.
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
Hey, so I got a pair of fakes, tragic, the tear things ripped, the cardboard thing is plastic, npice cancelation is delayed, ding noise is different, the actual buds domt even come out, and serial number are all the same, text is different. So what do I do about it? I didnt buy them and I dont want to tell the person thaylt bought me them because I know they didnt mean to but I dont know where he got them from, I just know he got them from an actual store... What do I do?
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).
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?
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
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!
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.
I just got one from marketplace. According to you, box looks fake but i found the expiration date and also it did not turned on the noise cancellation while its in the case. So in this matter it looks real. What should i do???
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
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
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.
@@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?
@@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.
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!
I guess I don’t care if they are fake as well as they work and sound the same. My original AirPods I can transfer between devices, can you with this as well without repairing? Also how is the battery life? I have the opportunity to get them for 1/3 of the cost of the pro 2 and think maybe it’s a decent alternative
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.
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.
I just keep buying fake ones on ebay and report sellers by doing so. They don’t even bother providing me with return label so i get to keep them + full refund. Then i give them out to people for free
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.
Just heard that they can fake also Apple Care, I don't know if that's true or not, Anyway thanks for your video, as soon as I get them I will check every little detail @@RedskullPro
I have a new AirPods Pro 2, according to your video my AirPods are original but I have no option to turn on the spatialize stereo, mine says that the spatialize stereo is not available. What does it mean?
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
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!
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
If they have the warranty date in setting and it is the same as the one in apple site after typing in the serial number, then its definitely real right?
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.
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
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.
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.
@@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
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.
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!
@@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.
@@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. 🤦🏽♂️
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
2 more details in this video (that should apply to all fakes I hope) that was not mentioned, but I did happen to notice are. 1.) The Square paperwork inside the box •The original papers are rounded in their corners •The fake papers are symmetrical perfect squares. 2.) The light glow centered in front of the charging case. •The original has an animated blinking glow, and the circle placed for the light is barely visible. Finally the light itself glows white. •The fakes blink in bland consistency, the circle placed for the light is clear as day, and the light glows green.
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
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
I got a pair from amazon on apples page, everything checks out for reals ones but the noise cancelation does almost nothing and the airpods themselves feel like toys. Should i return them and a buy a pair directly from apple?
The new 2nd gen clones are in the teething phase. The 4.9TB (1st gen clones) are very good. The 2nd gen however are not good yet and the companies need more time to perfect the chips in them.
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
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?
The airpod pros (2nd gen) I received have all the fake things you showed except they do show a limited warranty, so I am so confused. I can turn on noise cancellation when they sit next to the case. And the serial numbers are the same on each pod, but it absolutely shows a limited warranty for 5 months.
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!
Okay so I got these AirPods Pro 2 and they are renewed and when I first connected it said “not your AirPods” is this normal for it being renewed. Btw it was not purchased off the Apple Store but was purchased on Amazon
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 😅
Depends on the fake also I have seen high quality fakes that get everything right ..even iCloud switching..spatial audio and the rest... It's getting real hard out here And tbh some of these fakes are insane for the price I tested one that cost 70 and I couldn't tell a major difference in noise cancelling with my originals from Apple store..the transparency is slightly worse but you won't notice unless it's side by side And the sound quality is better than the original airpods but worse than the airpods 2 So if you wanna go for it .just get them for 70 ish ..they are great value .or buy straight from Apple or authorised sellers to avoid heartbreak
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!
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
I got mine and averything seems mixed. So the opening package actually ripped like the fake ones here, but I get a limited warranty date in settings… I might be misremembering but I think I saw the message “Not your AirPods” at some point, however, now it says “(My name)’ AirPods Pro 2”. Signal is mixed up?
When I open it is showing ‘not your airpods pro’ but it have AppleCare+ coverage. Noise cancellation, transparency everything is working. And I can see them on find my app as well.. are they fake???

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.
nice tip
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
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?
Same here!! love from KY
3:08 also for the fake AirPods the user pouch edges are sharp where as the apple's version are curved.
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
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.
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 🤣🤣🤣
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
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
Thanks!
Thank you!
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.
He said fakes can have warranty
My original one from Apple Store also came with plastic tray inside..
Good to know.
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.

Boxes could be different depending what country they are purchased from

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
Some cases that have FC are fake?
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
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..
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.
@@macarioccardenas7604 thats not true! fake should be around 10USD. cost of making them may be about 0.8 to 1.2 USD
Where did u get da fake one
In Vietnam 400,000 VND
Aliexpress. I may have left a link in the video’s description. Not sure if it still works or not
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?
Hey, so I got a pair of fakes, tragic, the tear things ripped, the cardboard thing is plastic, npice cancelation is delayed, ding noise is different, the actual buds domt even come out, and serial number are all the same, text is different. So what do I do about it? I didnt buy them and I dont want to tell the person thaylt bought me them because I know they didnt mean to but I dont know where he got them from, I just know he got them from an actual store... What do I do?
Not much you can do… use them as they are…
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
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?
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
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
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.
I just got one from marketplace. According to you, box looks fake but i found the expiration date and also it did not turned on the noise cancellation while its in the case. So in this matter it looks real. What should i do???
Fake box = fake airpods. You may have some better version of the fakes than the one I had
Thanks for your suggestion
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
Is there any heating issue or do i have worry about explosions or anything in fake ones
The battery in them is so small that an explosion is highly unlikely
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?
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.
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!
Is there any link to buy the fake ones for europe and from Amazon for example? :)
No :)
@@RedskullPro unlucky :)
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.
Same
I guess I don’t care if they are fake as well as they work and sound the same. My original AirPods I can transfer between devices, can you with this as well without repairing? Also how is the battery life? I have the opportunity to get them for 1/3 of the cost of the pro 2 and think maybe it’s a decent alternative
With fake ones you cannot transfer audio without repairing. Also firmware update is not working, charging with watch charger is not working as well
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.
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.
I just keep buying fake ones on ebay and report sellers by doing so. They don’t even bother providing me with return label so i get to keep them + full refund. Then i give them out to people for free
Hahaha! That’s awesome
Bro I need some idc if their fake pls give me some
Mine looks like the fake ones but they have the warranty n the model number n serial number match up so would they be considered fake or real?
Fake, serial number etc means nothing as copied from genuine
Recently seen 3 pairs for sale, all had same serial number
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.
so what if you buy used one with Active Apple Care? it should mean they are original right?
Yes, they should be real. Check the serial number on the case/box/and on your phone and see if they match
Just heard that they can fake also Apple Care, I don't know if that's true or not, Anyway thanks for your video, as soon as I get them I will check every little detail
@@RedskullPro
Just because active Apple care don’t make it real
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.
Does the option to locate my airpods work in the false one?
It does but you cannot pinpoint the location to the fake ones like you can with the real ones.
@@RedskullPro Could you explain a little more please? What are the fakes supposed to show if not the exact location
Got the fakes and I love it 🥰
I have a new AirPods Pro 2, according to your video my AirPods are original but I have no option to turn on the spatialize stereo, mine says that the spatialize stereo is not available. What does it mean?
Where did you buy them from?
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 $300 dollars on airpods
Mine have warranty info, and show in the “find me” app. Though I can change the noise cancellation while they are off ear…what are those? :D
And both earphones have different serial numbers by 1 digit
Mine are fake damn it but it was 80$ luckly
just got mines for 60 lol
Low-key worth it
Is there any chance serial number is written on left side of case?
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.
Hi! I just wanted to ask if you can connect the fake airpods to “find my” app?
yes you can but the fake ones will not show the exact location like the original ones
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!
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
If they have the warranty date in setting and it is the same as the one in apple site after typing in the serial number, then its definitely real right?
should be
No there not
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
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.
Listening on a fake one and laughing so hard
I have what I do think are fake ones since the mesh isn’t there and the box quality but I do have warranty on them when I look in settings?
That means nothing sadly, they just copy genuine serial numbers, so it looks like you have warranty
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
Also do a mic check. If it sounds dull, like all fakes, it is a fake
Good suggestion
Yea lol, mic on the original ones is like paradise))
As soon I used the noice cancellation I knew
i can’t hear everything and everyone with the noise cancellation on
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.
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. 🤦🏽♂️
My shows warranty inside the setting - can it be fake?
Yes… it turns out that some fakes show the warranty info there.
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
Is the same battery and sound I have use it but the original raw material is strong then second quality
2 more details in this video (that should apply to all fakes I hope) that was not mentioned, but I did happen to notice are.
1.) The Square paperwork inside the box
•The original papers are rounded in their corners
•The fake papers are symmetrical perfect squares.
2.) The light glow centered in front of the charging case.
•The original has an animated blinking glow, and the circle placed for the light is barely visible. Finally the light itself glows white.
•The fakes blink in bland consistency, the circle placed for the light is clear as day, and the light glows green.
Thanks for sharing with everyone!
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
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-_
I got a pair from amazon on apples page, everything checks out for reals ones but the noise cancelation does almost nothing and the airpods themselves feel like toys. Should i return them and a buy a pair directly from apple?

I’m not sure if you reply to comments more than once so I’m commenting again, but does the FindMy on your fake ones have precision finding?
No precision finding on the fake ones
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

The airpod pros (2nd gen) I received have all the fake things you showed except they do show a limited warranty, so I am so confused. I can turn on noise cancellation when they sit next to the case. And the serial numbers are the same on each pod, but it absolutely shows a limited warranty for 5 months.
I think they are fake
They copy genuine serial numbers, so the warranty you see is not actually yours
I am experiencing the exact same thing.
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!
Okay so I got these AirPods Pro 2 and they are renewed and when I first connected it said “not your AirPods” is this normal for it being renewed. Btw it was not purchased off the Apple Store but was purchased on Amazon
I guess that is normal for a pair of airpods that were previously paired to a different phone/account.
@@RedskullPro thanks, the reason I asked is because maybe when it’s renewed they can factory reset them so it wouldn’t show “not your AirPods”
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
Did the fake ones have noice cancelling features?
yes
Depends on the fake also
I have seen high quality fakes that get everything right ..even iCloud switching..spatial audio and the rest...
It's getting real hard out here
And tbh some of these fakes are insane for the price
I tested one that cost 70 and I couldn't tell a major difference in noise cancelling with my originals from Apple store..the transparency is slightly worse but you won't notice unless it's side by side
And the sound quality is better than the original airpods but worse than the airpods 2
So if you wanna go for it .just get them for 70 ish ..they are great value
.or buy straight from Apple or authorised sellers to avoid heartbreak
Yeah you are right, they are getting better and better all the time
LINK?
Link?
The fake one could't detect by find my app on iPhone . The easy way to identify it.
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…
Hey a quick question!
My box says that it is made in vietnam so are they fake or?
Everything matches the real ones except the manifacturing country.
They can be made in different countries depending where they are meant to be sold. If everything matches they are probably real
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 got mine and averything seems mixed. So the opening package actually ripped like the fake ones here, but I get a limited warranty date in settings…
I might be misremembering but I think I saw the message “Not your AirPods” at some point, however, now it says “(My name)’ AirPods Pro 2”. Signal is mixed up?
At least Alex is always the real deal! Peace
As always! :) Thanks for stopping by Scott
When I open it is showing ‘not your airpods pro’ but it have AppleCare+ coverage.
Noise cancellation, transparency everything is working. And I can see them on find my app as well.. are they fake???
Yeah I know mine too ima but confused maybe just really good fakes or poorly made apple ones lol
