AliExpress - I Was Sent a FAKE Pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro (Hong Kong) - Unbelievable

[@Pablokasompe]

This comparison makes so much sense.I think I received the fake ones too...The box is very light and the rubbers sometimes are remaining in my ears sometimes.The sound's even worse...One side is louder than the other and they are undetectable on the "Galaxy Wear" app.

[@carlosad03]

I think we are same. Mine get detected but the box is very light. And the case battery life is so short.

[@Pablokasompe]

@@carlosad03 every time I'd look at mine I would get frustrated so I had to sell them off at a very cheap price than for what I got them😅

[@l.m.thegeorgian]

It's because of the idiot chinese that copy n pastes every sibgle pile of garbage off of $6 aliexpress bluetooth wireless earbuds and then shove them right into these beautful guys

[@dailystexo]

Same man

[@Neko-kn3ou]

I buyed fake ones that are very good with sound noice cancelation is decent and batery life is good the only bad thing is that they have delay when i pause like half second and they cant connect to galaxy app

[@KusinahUlhak]

I lost my original buds 2 pro case, does the fake case charge the real ones ? Because i cant find a raplecement that looks similar to the original

[@DesignDensity]

Hi, Many people have asked the same question :) I tested this again but I'm afraid not, although the FAKE case charging light turns on intermittently but that doesn't guarantee it's actually charging! I even left the case in charge for approximately 6 hours but it wasn't charged. I would recommend looking on eBay for a used pair of this headset, you could then keep the case for yourself and resell the buds without the case, I'm sure there are many people just looking for the buds alone for a cheaper price. Hope it helps :)

[@KusinahUlhak]

@@DesignDensity thank u

[@tastytechaddictsmtb]

Tbh I think they’re pretty good for £15 headphones. When the genuine ones cost £220 from Samsung I wouldn’t say the genuine ones are worth £220, maybe £100 but nowhere near that much. These arnt bad at all for the price, I definitely wouldn’t be spending £220 on a pair of in ear headphones when you can get a decent pair of over ear studio headphones for that which have waaaay better sound quality.

[@DesignDensity]

Agreed, for the money it's quite reasonable and practicable, however, I purchased this pair for around £35~£40, and I was expecting much better overall quality for that kind of money. Regards

[@imnotryuu6391]

Ofc them claiming its “korean version” was just misleading because fakes won’t connect

[@seadragonpirate8195]

Only connects with the Korean app

how to spot fake in 360p ? Not possible

[@DesignDensity]

I uploaded this video in 4K resolution! I'm quite uncertain to why YT isn't showing this in better resolution that 360! Thanks for reporting this!

[@elisonmamusung4551]

yeah it is still on 360p and the audio is too low cant hear what you say @@DesignDensity

[@dejan.stankovic]

I apologize, I didn't see nor hear how much you paid for those earbuds that you ordered on AliEx? I understand that seller was claiming that it's original Samsung product 🙄

[@DesignDensity]

Hi, Don’t have to apologise at all 👍 It’s actually a good point that I forgot to mention! I paid £35.41, about $44.99 in USD! I remember there was cheaper ones with same title but I decided to go with most expensive to avoid any regrets afterwards! I hope it helps 😉 Thanks

[@viclord2]

Great video Just had a question, does anc work on the fake ones ?

[@DesignDensity]

Hi, Thanks 🙏 The noise cancellation doesn’t work because Samsung has made that functionality to be only available via their app of which these FAKE ones wouldn’t connect to! So I’m afraid there is no noise cancellation! Hope it helps, regards.

[@AhmedHassan-y9u]

Thanks for awaring us brother but seems like i would consider buying the clones. I wanted to ask If I buy the clones from Ali Express same place where you bought them, will they be able to be connected with galaxy wearable on my s20 or do i have to use them with Bluetooth only and do they have noise cancelation function? THANK YOU 😊

[@DesignDensity]

You are welcome 🙏 Unfortunately they do not connect to any other Samsung products because the drivers aren’t coded/programmed to do so! They are kind of good for normal usage as pair of wireless buds but if you want to the connectivity side of these then I would stay away from these regardless of the seller selling these on AliExpress! BTW these don’t have noise cancellation support just so you are fully aware! All the best.

[@ZadSoleimaninia]

Thank you for the heads up :) What would you rate the sound quality, from 1 to 10? 1 poor and 10 excellent

[@DesignDensity]

I would rate the fake Buds2 Pro, 3 because when I compare them with the real Buds2 Pro, they aren't significantly cheaper than the real thing so to make it do what it says but at the end of the day it's fake and nowhere near the genuine version. Hope it helps.

[@Neko-kn3ou]

got the fake ones different version and they are like 8 / 10

[@eshankalakshan4730]

Does the fake one have wireless charging case?

[@DesignDensity]

Hi, Yes, they do come with a wireless charging case just like the Genuine versions 😊 I hope this helps.

[@whatsuphelp]

Hi, did the fake ones automatically connected by opening the lid (charging case)??

[@DesignDensity]

Hi, Good question! I just tried this and it’s not guaranteed to what I just tested! Out of 10 times I tested this on 3 of my Samsung phones, here is what I was available to conclude; 4x successful connections by just opening the charging case 3x unknown state, tried different things and no luck 3x displayed connected but upon playing music or something, it wasn’t actually connected so had to go to Bluetooth settings and press disconnect and connect again to get it to work! So based on the results above, it’s clear that the FAKE pairs it’s somewhat capable to connect but because it’s not a real Samsung buds then the phone cannot fully connect even though says connected! Hope it helps, regards.

[@whatsuphelp]

@@DesignDensity thx for the information!

[@strongman3484]

Can i charge the original earbuds with the fake case ?

[@mintybudgie]

no you cannot

[@AndyWilkin]

Was thinking about buying them, at £20 guessed they were fake but just wondering if they are worth a try as only looking for audiobooks

[@DesignDensity]

If you are not too fussed about the bass and buying it for £25 quid or less then that’s fine I suppose but anything more is clearly not worth the money, better spend elsewhere! Have you looked at Sony C500 or JVC, they are about £50 for Sony and £25 for JVC! I’ll soon start comparing more ranges on this channel.

[@seannoble8948]

I cant hear you, audio is horrible in this video

[@DesignDensity]

I'm truly sorry about this!

[@carlosad03]

How long does the case last normally?

[@DesignDensity]

I get 5 to 6 charges from single-charged-case, however it may vary depending on whether earbuds are fully drained or not, most often they have about 10% charge left when I recharge them in the case without case being connected to main power! Hope it helps :)

[@carlosad03]

@@DesignDensity it helped 😊 I do actually drained mine because putting it back to charge in the case. And after draining each of them twice, the case will be down

[@racl4556]

Will the real ones charge in the fake encasing? I lost my og case

[@DesignDensity]

Hi, I’ve just tested this and can confirm it works but it’s significantly slower to charge than its original.

[@Kayt_ech24]

Can the fake battery case charge the original buds bcos i lost mine ?

[@DesignDensity]

Hi, Sorry for the delayed response. I just tested this and it worked, but the FAKE charging case seems not as fast as the original. It does work but it's a little slower, roughly about 25% to 30% from my observation. I hope it helps :)

[@Kayt_ech24]

@@DesignDensity and does it work on the app

[@DesignDensity]

@@Kayt_ech24 I'm afraid not. I would recommend getting a second genuine pair so you could use its charging case for both pairs. I tried buying a separate charging case but ended up with 2 FAKE ones even though it meant to be Genuine/Originals! However, if you are not concerned about its charging speed and app functionalities then go with cheap fake ones as it does the job for the money. Regards

@@DesignDensity Thank you very much 😊

[@PandorusFightStick]

surely when connecting fakes up that samsung wear app will not recongnise and not able to carry out updates and use features ect

Is there anyway to fix that? My left earbud stopped working since last update. If u can help thanks.

[@gilbertowayda3669]

If it fake then how can I talk to Bixby

[@DesignDensity]

Hi, Is this a statement or question? When I tried connecting the FAKE pairs, it connected just fine as the genuine pairs and that's because pretty much everything that's built into the FAKE pairs is exactly the same in terms of the drivers etc. So whoever is manufacturing the FAKE pairs has extensive access to the drivers' software written by whoever is manufacturing the GENUINE pairs! and this is why some parts and bits and bobs work but not the entire thing like controlling the sound setting via the Samsung app! However, the quality definitely varies and is significantly different because the FAKE pairs are for sure using cheaper speakers and mic, something reasonable that an average consumer wouldn't notice! I'm NOT against the FAKE pairs being sold as fake but if it's sold/advertised otherwise where you as a consumer pay a premium price for it but end up with FAKE pairs without you even knowing! Thank you for your comment. 😊

[@DesignDensity]

@@tunjioloskopi6501 sorry for the volume issue. Yes they do still work but often times I need to unpair and re-pair the Bluetooth settings! The battery also seems going strong still despite I’ve been using it quite frequently but it’s still early to tell! Something to bear in the mind is that the sound quality is nowhere close to the original pairs whatsoever and I only use this FAKE pair for non-music purposes as I wouldn’t care much! Hope it helps 🙂

[@fabricej8339]

Hello, I also bought a fake galaxy buds2 pro. I could recognize the fakes because I already have the authentic and I bought them again to offer them. 2 advices to recognize easily the fakes: Authentic buds2 pro doesn't speak to tell you they are turn on/off or disconnected or in pairing mode so if your buds2 pro speaks to warn you about connection status, they are fake. Second point, Galaxy Wearable application must be able to connect to galaxy buds2 pro and enable/disable the main feature like active noise reduction

[@carlosad03]

I think I got the fake one. But it's so perfect like the original one. Though seems lighter. Bud can last for 5 hours straight while playing. The only thing I don't like about it is that the case die within a day when I use the buds well. When I once charged the case and kept for one month and it never died. I just don't get it for the main time, I'm enjoying the ANC sound

[@DesignDensity]

Thanks for your comment! By the sound of it, yours isn't FAKE or CLONE copy as it otherwise wouldn't have ANC! I have 3 different CLONE versions, purchased from different sites to test them out all and unfortunately none of them have ANC, this feature would only ever work with the Samsung app!

[@DesignDensity]

Hi, Thanks for your comment, not many people stop by. Regarding your comment, I appreciate what you are saying but in this instance, the seller was particular about the product being 100% genuine Samsung product! Usually, there are genuine, high copies and obvious FAKE but cheap products out on almost any website and not just AE to be quite honest! I would NOT have bought this if I knew the seller was dishonest about the product!
