    I almost got scammed today, it came in the box sealed, everything physically looks pretty good ,I asked if I can open it and test it. The fake one feels significantly lighter. You can tell by the buttons is not clicky and made out of plastic, but it looks very real. The only thing you can tell it by actuall already used the original one., he was so showed me the AppleCare and stuff, but I ignore and walked.away, lessened learn for me but I didn’t pay the prize😂.

    Literally 90% of them on eBay are fakes. At least on eBay UK right now anyway! If they are listed brand new for a ridiculously good price, they're obviously going to be fake. Mine came this morning but fortunately, despite being used and having no box, they are 100% legit. Thankfully the girl who was selling them was kind enough to send me a video over before I checked out and paid to show all the little details a fake pair wouldn't have. I paid £280 which included next day postage.

    2:20 It also says 2023. Airpods came out in 2020 so if the the box says 2023 or anything other than 2020, they're fakes.

  • @Kressa1111
    @Kressa1111 5 месяцев назад

    So how do you convince them that they are fake? I got these too and I was baffled as to how the serial number showed up with Apple Care until October 2025 and the box didn’t have any of the reported issues that yours had for misprints. I did in fact verify they are plastic with no pin hole on inside for removing the headband. I’m so frustrated, because the serial number by the time they arrived to me changed to invalid, but the serial number was fine prior to purchase. I called Apple and they told me my headphones were supposed to be blue (mine are silver) and the seller damaged them out while they were in transit. This is crazy! You cannot tell they are plastic in the pictures and by the time they get the part where we notice the pin hole is missing they’ll start having that too. Ugh 😩, never again with this as a used product of new from second hand seller.

  • @3up3rn0va
    @3up3rn0va 11 месяцев назад +4

    Bro if you're paying $500 to $600 headphones you're doing something wrong. 😬
    I agree with what you said 350 is a really good price for most headphones. 500 to 600 is audiophile range. That should be for most headphones will sound amazing at that price. 350 can sound good too. But 500 to 600 for wireless headphones? Even for Apple that is pretty scummy. Most wireless headphones don't even sound that good. At most they should be 300 or so. That is a pretty good pricepoint. Which is why I like the Sony 1000 xm3s I think those are good(Dumb name I know) but I recommend them!
    If you want info on headphones I highly recommend watching Z reviews he regularly reviews them and gives out good advice. 👍

    It's crazy what's happening with the Airpods Max right now with all these fakes pairs, considering they are from almost 4 years ago. I think it comes because they became trendy due to influencers, singers, and fashion RUclipsrs, lately.
    I wanted to get one just because of how they look with the outfits and stuff, not gonna lie 😅, but I didnt want to pay 579€, at least here in Lithuania.
    So I wanted to get something used and stuff, and bro, the tons of fake ones you see out there is crazy. I bought one from Vinted and they ended up being fake, but I was able to return them and get my money back.
    I'm now chill, and probably wont buy them for now, taking into consideration that the Airpods Max 2 may come at the end of this year with a cheaper price rumors say. Maybe then I will buy them.

I hear you crying about a fake pair of AirPod maxes you say that you weren’t even able to turn them on so how do you know how they even sound but you’re knocking something that ain’t real if you wanted something real, you would spend the money I don’t understand you guys get on eBay or OfferUp and you buy something and then you can play because it’s not what you think it was gonna be but it is what it was. You just didn’t give them a chance you said that you weren’t even able to turn them on so how do you know if they sound good or not, stop crying about stuff stop crying about stuff and just go purchase it at the store. You can after the fact.

    U didnt talk abt the actual important thing which is the sound, and even tho it sayes "made in china" u continued to think its real.
    Right then the headphone is super good quality we dont know cuz of you (this obv didn't help) yet after all its super hard to find a "copy" like this that looks exactly the same with the real ones.
    Abt that we cant do nothing cuz if u want the real one u should of bought from tha apple store. Thats why i always say english people are full of Mimimi and expect things for cheap to be like the og/expensive ones.
