New Video: FAKE VS REAL Apple AirPods Max: th-cam.com/video/pYj3Q2nzM3w/w-d-xo.html
Hi! What about the microphone quality when you use it for audio calls? Do the people on the other line hear you very clearly without any issues or it sounds horrible?
The real ones sound so much better I promise
Ah 😕 I appreciate the video and explanation.
I definitely got the fake ones. Since the beginning I was wondering if they were new because of how they came in the box and the charging case seems too flimsy. But didn’t even considered they could be fake!
Interesting to see how “great” counterfeit they make nowadays. I was easily tricked into thinking they were real.
Will definitely buy them directly from Apple now.
Thank you!!
I still don't think airpods are worth their value, I've had my propulse pods for more than a year and there's no visible difference at all. Change my mind.
mani got them for christmas and the propulse pro sounds way better than my original airpods 2, I don't even know how that's possible
I have never, EVER needed to re-pair my AirPods Pro since the 1st day I bought, something that I had to do every now and then with EVERY other bluetooth earphones that I have bought.
Also, if I I ever miss place the AirPod case or the earphones anywhere at home or at the office,I have compass like tracking that leads me to them.
If I ever forget them somewhere, I can open the Find My app and see on the map where their location is.
NO other earphones have these unique lifesaving features.
Change my mind.
@@iTheGeo You can also do this with clones, since they also have the right chip inside :)
I still also dont encourage buying fakes though!
The "Not Your Airpods" was a bummer. Can't believe I listened to the entire video on my fake airpods lol
HAHAHAHA FUCK! I did the same thing.
Thanks man. You just saved me from buying fake AirPods.3.
Thanks so much for this video. I went to buy Airpods 3rd Gen, they were obviously perfectly packaged, almost impossible to tell. So I forced the seller to let me open them, insisting I will buy them if legit. Of course almost immediately it became apparent - the two strips didn't peel off correctly. Then the plastic wrapping was wrong. Then, when opening the case, the light was a tell-tale green, and I got the 'not your airpods' message on my phone. So obvious the guy was trying to scam me, thanks to your video! Just saved me 150 euro!
yayy
but do remeber if the airpod are marked as 2nd hand then they will have the green light since it has been connected before
@@kafaae ohh
@@yasir5673 I got my airpod 3 gen at Apple and it said “not your airpod” when other try to connect it with their phone
@@certifiedcrybaby6044yeah I got that too, found a pair after a flight under my seat and when I connected at home it said “not your AirPods” but they still are under the persons warranty and the serial numbers on the pods match with the phone… had to find out if they were real since it said that when I connected.
I unboxed mine as I watched this and every single thing you mentioned in fakes was present. Thank you! Luckily she had no idea and is giving me a refund
she knew it was fake shes covering up her crime bro
@@Ahmad-ih2pp 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Extremely helpful sir, thank you very much for putting this video together for us.
Thank I appreciate your video I'm buying a pair and looking out fir fake ones now
Were the fake ones present on the Find My network?
Bro, you saved me from buying an used airpods on ebay. Thumbs up!
Thank brother. It was helpful.
This is a great video for those who maybe aren't as internet savvy, or at least internet shopping savvy, or who try putting their trust in the wrong sellers to try and save some money. However, I have a couple suggestions for things that could have been talked about here, but weren't. Maybe you can keep them in mind for future videos?
I'm partially blind, so I don't look at the box, stickers, manual, etc, so it's good your video included information about the bottom tabs and the poorly-wrapped case. However, does the fake box have the images of the air pods carefully embossed on top? For other videos, it would be great if you talked more about build quality differences. You had a good start with weight, but no info on how the plastic feels, or if the case hinge is different.
Also, how might the features differ or work poorly? What about force touch? Does that work, and result in the same little tap sound? Does spacial audio work? For these questions, I'm guessing not quite, or no, but it would be great for consumers to know either way.
Lastly, I see that iOS seems to recognize them as air pods when pairing. Does this extend into the bluetooth settings? If you go into the bluetooth menu and press the more info button next to the device name, will the same options/info show up as it would for real Air Pods 3, or would it closer resemble something from Air Pods 2 or regular non-Apple headphones? If you go into control center when using them, then go into the volume bar, is there a spatial audio settings button right below?
Sorry for rambling, but I think answering these additional questions would help put a lot more people at ease and, conversely, make a lot more aware that they've for sure been ripped off big time. Even if you can't answer these questions for these fake pods, I hope this comment will be helpful when you make future videos.
Anyway, thanks for the great video! I didn't need it, as my 3s are the real deal, but it's a great thing you've done for others, even if this is but one example of fakes.
Planning to buy the fake ones for wireless charging.. The airpods gen 2 costs 15$ and the airpods pro costs 22$ which ones should i buy? I can't find wireless charging earbuds bellow 50$ so im planning to buy the fake ones.
Hi. Bro there are some sound quality right.?
This was very helpful, I ordered mine from eBay for $50 usd open box, I found out they were fake but I don’t mind as I got 100 dollars off and they don’t seem much different to the originals.
Same lol
Video is absolutely on point and you my friend just saved me $100. Thanks again for the in-depth review and explanation.
Glad I could help!
Does the fake one can update firmware? I don’t think so right? Cuz i see at 07:33 it has the latest firmware like the real one. Someone plz help to explain.
I almost bought the fake ones today but thanks to your video I was able to spot them 👍🏽👍🏽
Awesome! Happy to hear!!
I have fake ones here... Same serial # everywhere, but show as airpods on ipad, and have the meshed speaker phone, unrecognizable !
Thank you for this video. You helped me out to buy these. I followed all your steps. You were dead right about everything. Salud 🍻
I’m glad it was useful
Hi can you help me out, i have pair of airpods 3 which now i am not sure is original or not, there is same serial number on both airpods but in general about serial number does match with the number on box, it also shows applecare+ warranty valid till november 2023, but they are not connecting siri, i am very confuse please help me out.
If it's the same serial number on both airpods, they are probably fake. The original ones have different serial numbers on both.
As for apple care, you probably have a pair that copied the serial number from some real ones
Hello i dont know my serial number is same at box and in setting but model number is different are they fake?
Thank you very much it's very helpful video 🤲💝
Well said well said i like your vids man
Thank you very much for stopping by!
Very good summary about it. How about the cable usb-c lightning inside the box of fake? Would you mind to show and comment?
Once removed looks and works like a real cable
nice video as always
Thanks for the visit
Hi. Does the case, the left and right airpods have different serial numbers? Thank you!
Yes
Absolutely everything on the fake ones is exactly as it is in your video haha amazed
😀
Thank you.... I'm always worried when I don't buy stuff directly from Apple and I bought these on Amazon, cuz I needed a pair right away!
Amazon is safe
Not all
The fake ones flash green because they used a serial number from an AirPods that’s already activated unlike on the original it’s not yet activated or connected on an iCloud account
That's just nuts! This crap is why I have a hard time trusting third-party sellers for anything. I got my 3s from Walmart, delivered from store, so at least I knew, even before this video, they were real. Seems like the fakers are getting a bit better at it.
Lots of things are different One of the most important things you can know right away Spatial audio will not work in a fake
Mine are fake and it works 😂😂😂
Does stock x sell real ones ?? Because they check for real ?
Hi, I purchased AirPods Pro 2. Mine are assembled in Vietnam, they are the new AirPods Pro 2 in USB
C. Do you think the quality is the same as in China?
They are official
Thank you so much for this video, I have been stressing thinking that my dad bought me fake ones for Christmas and this video helped me understand that the AirPods he bought me, are in fact real! Thank you so much!
You must be glad that your father buy some expensive airpods for you. Fake or not it's not about that.
Hey this is the same reason I came LOL 😂
@@lifeislife6091 my god shut up
@@mikaelareid why? xhe told the truth
samee
Getting mine Monday, I’m so exited for them
I don't understand this, the a-iPods 3rd generation flash green on the pictures and video on the apple website???
I did not know I got my sister fake AirPods 3!!!, I only paid 30 bucks for them but she was so happy to use them that I didn’t tell her and 1 year later she still hasn’t noticed a thing😂
Was about to purchase some on marketplace for 60 usd. I knew it was too good to be true. Thanks for the awesome video.
Glad I could help!
Thanks, Because I’m going to buy it today ❤️
I have a very weird problem and hope to know someone can give me the explanation. I bought Airpods 3rd, the first thing I do is to check the serial even before unboxing. But checkcoverage said that can not find this serial number and I did not see any information about that Airpods, so i unboxed it and 20 minutes later i checked the serial number again and saw the icon of Airpods 3rd on checkcoverage, but the purchase date have not been validated? So i wonder if it is a fake Airpods?
Damn I really got scammed lol
Me too 💀
Found this because I bought a $79 pair of Gen 3's off eBay that were listed as "open box / store return". Wording in the Ad was obviously done by a non-native English speaker.
Arrived and I was suspicious opening the box, sloppy tabs like the video and had to almost break my nails to pull the bottom out.
All seemed fine until I paired with my iMac, and noticed the Airpods would not auto-switch between phone and computer. Had to always re-pair to the iMac once they had been connected to the iPhone. Also got the "not your Airpods" message". Have never seen that with My Gen 2 or Pro's.
Sound quality was immediately suspect. They sounded very hollow with little bass. I then compared them to my 2nd Gen Airpods which sounded MUCH better. This led me to starting doing research and found this video.
Of note, the serial numbers did match the box and case, each AirPod had a different serial, but when I searched on Apple's serial lookup, it gave an error.
Luckily eBay offers buyer protection. Sending them back even for $79.
Thanks for sharing! Yeah, definitely fakes
How many digits in the serial code on the AirPods?
mine blinks green and said not your airpods when i initially connected them but they were previously connected to another phone because the seller was testing it out
however, it does have 4 different serial numbers on the pods, inside the case and on the box
and when i enter the serial number on apple it shows date of purchase
Do the fake AirPods 3 have apple care + coverage?
Someone on Facebook marketplace was selling AirPods and because of you I knew they were fake
Nice to know the difference between real and clone
Does the fake ones support Apple Warranty?
How do they sound when you connect them?
Do the fake ones come with limited warranty
Which one is better from the fake ones is it the pro or 3rd generation?
I ordered a pair of fake 3s… they should be here soon and should be really good… but we’ll see. The last pro fake ones I had were really good. Good sound, battery life
@@RedskullPro what about now does it really good?
The version is different for each country, mine is from the apple store and its light is green I don't think it can be listed as fake
They start flashing green once they get paired for the first time, they only flash white when never been paired.
Brought mines for 30$ on ocean drive in Miami and there actually the real deal 🔥🔥🔥💯
Thank you so much I got scammed by a friend but this video helped me and now I can return them
I have a question. Would a cell phone carrier sell you a fake AirPods? I feel like mine are fake.
hello when i open the airpods on the my mobile it doesn't show that "icon" conect and photo of the airpods is something wrong with the airpods or something?
Pls any advice ?
Its only on ios devices
what happens if they sell you the real case but give you the fake airpods? :-) Is that possible?
Thank you bro🙏
the fact is that the real difference between the two products is not worth 200 euros, the technology present in the originals is not worth that much
What if my real AirPods 3rd gen flashes green but it’s similar to real. Is it considered a real AirPods?
That’s what I’m wondering
Does the fake has limited warranty?
And hard coverage and technical support
I have the fake one don't have warranty but cab get phone and technical support.
So many fake ones out there l almost bought the fake but this video really help because you can hardly tell between the fake and the real 👍
I’m glad the video was useful!
having fake AirPods for more than a year 🤣🤣🤣 and thinking I have the original one 😅😅
Thank you!
What if the AirPods have all the characteristics of a fake one but if you put the serial number on apple’s coverage page it appears as a registered product?
Excellent review
Thanks for checking it out
красавчик, все очень понятно. Спасибо :)
Great video 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you 🙌
What about microphone? Does it work on fake ones?
Yes mic works on my brothers dupes
Thanks for this review we really appreciate it! Though they may be fake is there a difference in quality or features from the original? I personally don't mind saving the money if there's no difference.
Packaging is one thing sound quality and features is another. Look forward to hearing from you.
Yes. I boought fakes (highest grade) and they sound great, may be slightly better than reals. One problem is the button presses itself randomly. Other downgrades are no spatial, no auto switch between iphone, ipad and other apple devices, you have to reset the fakes every time you want to connect to another device, the fakes also feel light, plastic material not as great, the case not perfectly fitted. Seller didn't care about this problem. So then, I decided to buy real ones. No more problem and everything works like a charm. If i move from one device to another the airpods connect automatically within seconds. Buy real ones, you will thank me later
@@elon6784 I went ahead and decided to save money not long after my original post by giving it a shot with the fake ones and I haven't had any issues that you're speaking of. The only thing that I noticed is that the serial numbers are different but other than that no issues. Everything works the same as compared to my friends original pair at a fraction of the price which is insane!
It sucks you didn't have a great experience with your purchase but I'm at the end of the day I glad you found what worked best for you 👍
I got my Airpods 3 from amazon from the official apple store from there.
And i checked the bottom from the box and it was fake. But everything else was good??
I need help
Do yours not have the QR code? Mine don’t have it either and I’m starting to think they aren’t, I got them from the Amazon store too and now I’m starting to worry they’re fake.
Fake ones are really cheap here and sound really good😂. I have been using one.. it’s 100 time cheaper and it really sounds good. I was surprised. Good battery life too
Do they work with wireless charging?
I bought the fake by accident lol I’m actually surprised with the quality is very very good
😂😂 youre lucky then
thank you. I bought my AirPods 3 from Best Buy and now I know they are real.
What if your buying them without the box
Help plzz
I got AirPods3 when the fake AirPods came out so I’ve been nervous I bought fake ones but I bought real ones 😌
Hello, can I ask you a question in PM please about these AirPods 3?
Comment here. I check comments pretty often... but a new comment...those show up in the youtube studio.
How many serial numbers is on the real AirPods 3 ?
Yes, I bought my new Airpods 3 on Desember and Thankfully I bought the Original
I just bought a pair mine is made in Vietnam is that real or fakes?
What about apple care coverage for 60days, Do the fake ones come with it?
no it will say "expired"
is Aliexpress a safe website to order these from?
from Aliexpress you will get fake ones like the ones i have
Will the fake airpods' serial numbers show up on the Apple website?
The serial number on the fake ones is just a number copied from a real pair of airpods
Listening to this in my fake airpods XD
U didn't mention it shows expiry date by apple in setting when it connects ur phone and also find my
Bought AirPods for $80 thinking I got a good deal until I saw this video. Ended up filing a return. Thanks again!
I'm glad you are gonna get your money back!
4:26 you should invert this comparison
also if you put the fake ones in a real case they are actually a bit different i think its either the case or the airpod is slightly bigger but its so unnoticeable when you see the airpods face to face
Thankss!! I lost my original case and had to buy a new one but apparently the new case i bought is fake..
😵💫 where did you get the case from??
@@RedskullPro well i bought it on a marketplace like the facebooks but a different one we have in the netherlands
Excellent, Bought these on Ebay as authentic and also the latest firmware is not current, asking for a refund for $50 but return address is Honk Kong, So shipping it would eat up the refund, contacting Ebay to report this bum selling counterfeits as Ebay does not tolerate that crap.
Thanks for this very informative video.
I found on a rainy day on the floor in my gf appartment complex they say Amadeus on the charger case what I think are fake they work and sound great also function properly even tracker works
Please test the mic? Thanks!
real spatial audio support ..?
Yo los tengo y funacionan genial .
tienes los fakes, que tal funcionan? la verdad no quiero gastar 180 euros
so sir everything is exactly the same as normal but mine flashes green
flip you mine box of the airpod pro 3rd gen the peel was good it was not paper but my light flashed green i am confused
I bought my airpods knewing they were fake, but it was dirt cheap and before watching this video i thought the copy was almost perfect ('cause of the tape it told me it was fake fr) then it became clear that it was fake but for about R$100,00 it was good enough
What’s the battery life of the fake
I am from dubai yesterday i AirPods from someone but its fake. Today I buy original one both look similar very hard to find.
