    Hey, Thank you so much for the video! I just bought the exact pair you did, and I was alittle sketchy of the quality when I opened them and sure enough, SAME serial number as yours, luckly I caught it with enough time to return, much appreciated!!!!!

    Watching your video got me paranoid about the beats I just ordered online... It's a good thing, because when I did a search of the SN, it showed up on a Chinese blog with someone asking if their beats (with the exact SN as mine) were authentic...
    So thanks for the video, and sorry about your luck.

      Use mercari. If they scam you, they can’t get your money until you confirm the order and check whether it’s real

    The first red flag was that the beats on the box cover were purple but the beats inside the box were matte black.

    Me too but going through ebay/paypal for buyer fraud protection....I cant get over how real it looks, the key to find out with Studio 3s it should not show up as a bluetooth device but the W1 chip will actually show a beats logo popup on our iphone...also look at the included case the center seam for real has extra material where the fake does not have on the seam.

    • @aa-ron1596
      @aa-ron1596 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Few more clues the manual does not look legit and instructions to pair and reset are not the same as real beats it suggests to pair hold the B button for 2 seconds real ones you you simply hold the power button for 10 seconds, also reset real beats hold power as down button and a red light flashes not on fake ones no red light!

    • @aa-ron1596
      @aa-ron1596 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The case b logo is dark red and real beats case logo is light red in color

    Curiosity. Those Beats didn’t pair to the iPhone with the W1 chip. Correct? That is a big indicator as well is how they pair with the W1 chip.

  • @ArtyBicardi

    The exact same thing happen to me today! I bought them on ebay "brand new" for 200 dollars. I right away noticed they felt cheap but they did automatically pair with my iphon and I was able to register them on the beats website! IDK what to do now the seller does offer a 30 day money-back guarantee but they emailed telling me they didn't do ebay returns and they emailed me an address to send back they just said to send them the tracking number!

    Hi! Thanks for this video. I have a question...when you use to connect with these fake headphones would your phone connect to them automatically like showing an image on your phone (if iPhone) like with the w1 chip the original ones come with?

      Had to go to the settings. But I had an older iPhone at the time. You need an iPhone 7 or newer for the automatic Bluetooth connection. I had the iPhone 6s Plus. Didn’t catch it then. 😕

      @abasofly  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      michael ramirez hopefully yours are legit. Best way to know is to call and verify serial number with Apple. Or check the serial number on the box and headphones and see if they match. Good luck 🙏

    Hi bro! I want to buy a beats solo 3 here in China, but I noticed fake headphones are everywhere in 3rd party stores. And sometimes it’s very hard to recognize is it original or not! But it seems like you can check the serial number on the Apple website just like you do for your iPhone.
