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.

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.

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.

Don’t be. They managed to replicate that too.

Prices are not only about the usefulness of the device. The price is also in the design, in the quality of the internal components, in the packaging, in the compatibility and durability.

They can be made in different countries depending where they are meant to be sold. If everything matches they are probably real

[@tommyharper8558]

Thank You so much! You just saved me from going to buy a a pair of fakes from someone I was meeting tomorrow. I watched your video, went back and looked closely at the pictures and seen more than 1 red flag. Again, thank you!

[@RedskullPro]

I’m glad the video helped!

[@jakobm1347]

Mine have warranty info, and show in the “find me” app. Though I can change the noise cancellation while they are off ear…what are those? :D

[@jakobm1347]

And both earphones have different serial numbers by 1 digit

[@NikolettSzandraSzucs]

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!

[@RedskullPro]

Thanks for sharing with everyone

[@AliHassan-fk7rs]

When I open it is showing ‘not your airpods pro’ but it have AppleCare+ coverage. Noise cancellation, transparency everything is working. And I can see them on find my app as well.. are they fake???

[@Cacaguy22]

Yeah I know mine too ima but confused maybe just really good fakes or poorly made apple ones lol

[@peter_shadow7559]

Excellent video and very well detailed points. There must be many more different details regarding internal components, such as soldering, battery quality, electronic design, etc. I don't know what the norm or rules are in terms of marketing but I wonder if it will be effective for authorized dealers to have a copy of fake ones so customers can see the differences. Thanks for the video.

[@RedskullPro]

Well, it’s not like people are going to buy them and dismantle them to check the soldering?! 🤦🏽‍♂️

I have tracking notification for a week about I'm having airpods not for me put it acutely mine and when i open find my i get airpods setup incomplete i try every thing but i cant fix the problem 😢 do u know what can i do

[@hershey405]

Thanks! I checked out your video before picking up the airpods pro 2 from marketplace. I went to the location that was decided, we meet, I look at the first thing, pulling tab. There was neigher a straight line nor a dotted line, it was like entire thing was glued. First red flag, I asked the person if I can open it and check few more things, he was agitated by it, and said you can pay and then open it. I said, No, thank you! and he left very calmly. Clear sign it was a fake one. Please be aware, people are doing scam publicly.

[@RedskullPro]

Definitely fakes! I’m glad the video was helpful!

[@chrisjenkins203]

Who would ever let you open them and destroy half the value of selling them new? What if you open them but are wrongly convinced they’re fake? You just screw over an honest person? Yeah, cool story…

[@loyourobsession]

Yesterday I went to meet someone on offer to buy some and he told me I could open them and check. I did, and since they were a gift and I'd just opened them I ended up getting a second pair lol. They felt legit and looked legit. I would have known they were fake if I'd seen this first. However, people will let you open them first. I think that the reason why is because when you open them, they know that you won't be able to tell the difference right away and you will likely say okay and buy them.@@chrisjenkins203

Bro but that’s the problem, I am always checking on marketplace and people are selling real ones for under $200 dollars. Like looking at the pictures they look real and I really don’t want to spend $300 dollars on airpods

[@lovesofi22]

One question, i heard that with ios 16, the iphone tells you when you're using fake airpods, but i have fake ones and my iphone doesn't tell me they're fake, it pairs them like they're original, how can that happen? Every other point you said aboit the fake ones are the same

[@RedskullPro]

That’s true about iOS 16…. But it isn’t consistent. I have 6 fake pairs and I only get that notification on 3 of them… 🤷‍♂️

[@nosaiyiewuare619]

Got the fakes and I love it 🥰

[@cajunomics350]

The airpod pros (2nd gen) I received have all the fake things you showed except they do show a limited warranty, so I am so confused. I can turn on noise cancellation when they sit next to the case. And the serial numbers are the same on each pod, but it absolutely shows a limited warranty for 5 months.

[@RedskullPro]

I think they are fake

[@derekfleming3095]

They copy genuine serial numbers, so the warranty you see is not actually yours

[@loyourobsession]

I am experiencing the exact same thing.

[@ADK208]

There are other methods to identify fake airpods: 1-The weight between empty cases -fake vs real and weight between airpods fake vs real without case. 2-If you open the case and put a strong light inside the case you will observ the hidden components in the real once vs the fake!

[@RedskullPro]

The 1st one… well not many people have a scale at home :) The 2nd one is a great tip!

[@Unicorniomanco]

Is there any absolute difference between the hidden components?

[@ADK208]

@@Unicorniomanco Yes, there is a difference. In the bright light you will notice the symmetry of the hidden components in the cover of the case to the original ones, while the fake ones have no symmetry and there are much fewer components. Another method is to weigh the airpods but without the case.

[@Unicorniomanco]

@@ADK208 Nice! Thanks for the tip

[@chrisjenkins203]

[@iranoutofnameslol1678]

I got a pair from amazon on apples page, everything checks out for reals ones but the noise cancelation does almost nothing and the airpods themselves feel like toys. Should i return them and a buy a pair directly from apple?

[@RedskullPro]

I don't think you got fake ones from Amazon... they do feel like plastic toys...

[@abudabis911]

I just keep buying fake ones on ebay and report sellers by doing so. They don’t even bother providing me with return label so i get to keep them + full refund. Then i give them out to people for free

[@CrispyMustard]

I have what I do think are fake ones since the mesh isn’t there and the box quality but I do have warranty on them when I look in settings?

[@derekfleming3095]

That means nothing sadly, they just copy genuine serial numbers, so it looks like you have warranty

[@Chris_Nouvelli]

I’m fairly certain I’m holding a pair of fake ones right now, but they tell me the warranty information. Counterfeiters can clone serial numbers though, can’t they? I’m almost convinced mine are fake. I’ve ordered a pair of real ones from Apple to check 😅

[@thomasvallet9158]

Same for me, except when I check coverage it shows under what I named them. But my anc and stuff isn’t working

[@Vibeboss-fe7bm]

my fake airpods were claimed as real and i didnt realize they were fake until i put them in my ears, everything was in tact even the warranty but it said it expired. but the box was off, a bigger thing you can tell that they are fake of the light isnt white and is green when you first connect them

[@MehediHasan-sy1xr]

I just got one from marketplace. According to you, box looks fake but i found the expiration date and also it did not turned on the noise cancellation while its in the case. So in this matter it looks real. What should i do???

Wow thank you for this. I've been seeing a ton of these on Facebook Market place for like half the price of the real ones and I was wondering why they were so cheap. I suspected they were probably fake, so when looking a the photos they provided, they were indeed fake. Careful everyone!

very good cheap fake ones!

[@weakestchristfollower3169]

If they have the warranty date in setting and it is the same as the one in apple site after typing in the serial number, then its definitely real right?

[@RetroWeirdo]

2 more details in this video (that should apply to all fakes I hope) that was not mentioned, but I did happen to notice are. 1.) The Square paperwork inside the box •The original papers are rounded in their corners •The fake papers are symmetrical perfect squares. 2.) The light glow centered in front of the charging case. •The original has an animated blinking glow, and the circle placed for the light is barely visible. Finally the light itself glows white. •The fakes blink in bland consistency, the circle placed for the light is clear as day, and the light glows green.

I guess that is normal for a pair of airpods that were previously paired to a different phone/account.

@@RedskullPro thanks, the reason I asked is because maybe when it’s renewed they can factory reset them so it wouldn’t show “not your AirPods”
