  • In this video I will show you the differences between the fake and real Apple AirPods Pro 2 and how to easily spot the fake Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)
    Find the original Apple Airpods Pro 2 on Amazon: geni.us/jSwrzI
    I found the other ones on aliexpress: geni.us/X0M2
    Throughout this video I will show you everything there is to know so you can easily spot the fake Airpods Pro 2 and not be fooled into buying the fake ones believing that they are real.
    Even though the fake earbuds look the same, the performance, quality and reliability will never be the same as the original product. Always get your Apple products from an authorized reseller.

      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.

Now from this experience, what would you say is the timeframe for trying to get to 5% and how long would you recommend to stay there?

    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.

    After my daughter got genuine pro 2’s, I was offered a fake set for £15 (about$18)
    I was interested to see how good a copy they were, so bought them
    Tear strips on the box are an immediate warning, but the initial look and feel of the contents would fool many people.
    Sound and functionality was surprisingly good, so good that I actually swapped them with my daughters originals without telling her. She used them for a week, with no complaints before I switched them back

    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 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.

      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.

    • @boomland4272
      @boomland4272 3 месяца назад

      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 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

    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.

    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?

      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.

    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!

However, people will let you open them first.

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.
