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.
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.
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!
@@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.
My fake AirPods were exactly as you described but it was too late, I had already bought them off Ebay. But, I'm trying to get a refund and have reported this to Ebay. Cross my fingers!
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
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.
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.
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?
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 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😂
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!
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 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 ?
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
This was very helpful, I ordered mine from eBay for $50 usd open box, I found out they were fake but I don’t mind as I got 100 dollars off and they don’t seem much different to the originals.
Too bad I didn’t watch this video before buying it… the first thing I noticed was the low quality and no bass at all. For the green light it shows the case and AirPods are fully charged.
Fake ones are really cheap here and sound really good😂. I have been using one.. it’s 100 time cheaper and it really sounds good. I was surprised. Good battery life too
I bought AirPods Pro from Amazon and it came in a Mario mystery box and the iOS 16 update tells if you have fake AirPods. Mine are certified AirPods pro
Planning to buy the fake ones for wireless charging.. The airpods gen 2 costs 15$ 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.
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.
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
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?
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
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.
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
Discovered mine are fake. Although I must say even though they are fake they work really well, and function almost exactly like the original (besides for SIRI). They have good tech and are much better then others I tired for a similar price (like JBL and Soundcore) For those who don’t care, the fakes are a good buy for under $150. For those who care, obviously stay away.
Ive got several pair of fakes, pros and the 3s for what i paid… definitely worth it I also have real pros but if i want a pair I don’t mind messing up or loosing i use the fakes
Hey so the thing is that the fake ones give white light (when you first open them) but it’s because the China factory actually tests those AirPods before shipping out to us. So the person testing them gets the white light. So that also explains why it says “not your AirPods” since it was previously connected to an device. They do this so that they don’t ship a defective AirPods.
no, he said that fakes show a green light and that’s Bcs the serial number has already been activated since as they are fakes they’re using an already used serial number hence why it also says ‘not your AirPods’

Same lmao
Where did you buy them?

Thanks man. You just saved me from buying fake AirPods.3.
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.
Damn I really got scammed lol
Me too 💀
Me to
i mean if the sound is the same and i paid half the price i wound`t get mad, since it costs apple 30 cents to make the real ones and they sell for 300

Awesome! Happy to hear!!
Hi. Does the case, the left and right airpods have different serial numbers? Thank you!
Yes
Which one is better from the fake ones is it the pro or 3rd generation?

What about microphone? Does it work on fake ones?
Yes mic works on my brothers dupes
Does the fake has limited warranty?
And hard coverage and technical support

Does the fake ones support Apple Warranty?
No
Too bad I didn’t watch this video before buying it… the first thing I noticed was the low quality and no bass at all. For the green light it shows the case and AirPods are fully charged.
What if they say made in Vietnam
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
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
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.
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
Does Fake Airpods show they have warranty or show in the “Find My” App?
yes
I have fake ones here... Same serial # everywhere, but show as airpods on ipad, and have the meshed speaker phone, unrecognizable !
What if your buying them without the box
Help plzz
Someone on Facebook marketplace was selling AirPods and because of you I knew they were fake
How many digits in the serial code on the AirPods?
is Aliexpress a safe website to order these from?
from Aliexpress you will get fake ones like the ones i have
Min. 6:45: The fake ones are are called "Airpods #2", is that normal?
I bought a fake one by accident, and me too same name AirPods#2
thank you. I bought my AirPods 3 from Best Buy and now I know they are real.
The only reason I need to know is because I’m in HS and cant handle being socially outcasted for owning fake AirPods 😂
On ali express there are 3 options a3 a3pro and 2 what did you took
It’s been a while since I got these… I don’t really remember 😟
What about apple care coverage for 60days, Do the fake ones come with it?

real spatial audio support ..?
Can they be fake if u buy them from Walmart?
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 AirPods Pro from Amazon and it came in a Mario mystery box and the iOS 16 update tells if you have fake AirPods. Mine are certified AirPods pro
Listening to this in my fake airpods XD
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
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.
