8 Clues to Spot Fake AirPods Pro 2 and Avoid SCAMS 

Probably the most accurate comparison I’ve seen on AirPods…guys you can tell right from the box…If it doesn’t slide,it’s fake

You just saved me from a scam! Lots of tells from the seller: plastic inner casing not paper; spare earpieces fell all over the place instead of staying put

If you notice the fakes when the ear tips are in the box there is a bigger gap around the area it sits in

Hey so one thing I’m concern is in every like noice cancellation transpercy or off sound the same. Is that another way of noticing?

Hey Anthony, can you control the volume on the fake ones via the swipe function on the AirPods themselves like the real ones?

you didnt mention the serial nr?

Well…. Mine are fakes. Imma stick beside em. 😒

Do the fake AirPods still say they got a warranty. I bought mine from a person but now I’m not sure if they are fake. I want to go switch them out because they have a warranty but I’m not sure if they are fake.

One thing i found was finding your headphones while in the case doesnt work. Real ones make a noise if you put your ear up to it

Is it worth keeping a fake one? I also asked the question of if every numbers were same and the “ not your AirPods” come up, are they real or fake?

So I’m confused I got air pods from Best Buy online and the serial number on the box matches both the case and left and right air pods. I checked my serial number on apples coverage check and it says it’s registered from my purchase date?

Hey anthony i have a question. This video helped but how come in other videos the back of airpod box picture they look the same and in this video at 1:10 the picture looks different. i’m starting to get concerned

Mine has the picture of the closed case on the back but I seen other videos saying those are the fake ones. What are your thoughts?

can the serial numbers on both airpods be used for authenticity check on apple website?

hi serial number on the box must be the same on the charging box and what the mobile shows? it must be the same number that the mobile shows for right and left right? or should it be the same carton number? thanks

Can the serial number on the fake one show validity of warranty on the apples website ?

Watching this too late but managed to get my money back. These fake are getting good, even Apple themselves didn’t detect them as fakes when I ran the serial past their system and it came with the limited warranty etc in settings.

I have got one but it has warranty and come with 6 month free apple music but the serial number is same in everything is that fake or really ?

I fake by target I lost my airpod 1 gen so I wanted to upgrade to the 2 gen and I first I couldn’t tell when opening the box but when I head the audio I could tell. The noise, cancellation, and transparency mode doesn’t work either.

Did they have the same chime sound effects (connectivity chime, battery dying sound, died sound effect). If they did, was anything different?

I knew I recognized that canvas behind you. Ikonick - 'No Rewind'

So I did the light test and it showed a square in the center but the ends were orange. What does that mean? Fake or not?

i got scammed to it feels so bad i was saving for them and i cant even return them the serial number even shows that they are still under warranty

My AirPods had the same serial number on the case and the air pods but when I went to Bluetooth it was different serial numbers are they tack or no @Anthony

i got scammed, but for my little use of these, probably not better, but its not the end of the world.

Can the fake ones be seen on the Find my network?

where did you get the fakes from ir a trusted supplier

I think I just found out I have fakes, they sound great and the ANC works well. Each AirPods and Case have a different serial number printed on for it to be real?

i'm so sceptic for my airpods pro gen 2 because i buy from my friend 2-3 worn but i have everything adaptive noice cancellation light test is like real and it's on newest update airpods is purchased in june 2023 and everything looks like real can u give me some tips what to test more to see does airpods is real 100%?

I think mine are real cause mine match the real ones as far as unboxing and everything

Okay the light on the case was it for me. I got FAKES 🙃

Mine has both things that make it related to the real, and some related to fake..good fake or bad pair?

the real ones have magnet inside the speakers. so putting them together, would push each other away. if yours don’t do that, they’re fake.

May this is not the best fake but still useful. I got once a fake one, even apple store couldn't spot it was fake ! when I took there to check what is wrong with it, the serial number etc all match. The only way I knew it was fake, it didnt connect to my macbook for some reason and the ANC didnt have the pressure release. Someone of them are so hard to spot

I think I unfortunately got the fake ones Pro2 usb-C I bought used. It passed all test steps except the light test. The speaker on the case when you scroll down to sound effects it’s locked on green and the text is gray, you can’t also update the firmware, mine is stuck on 6A305. When it comes to serial number my charging case serial number matches with box serial number, the individual earphones has unique serial number. One more thing, when you look at what is set to ON Bluetooth like smartwatch, battery levels on your phone, the airbuds shows battery status but not the case witch it should if you have the real REAL one. Anyone knows what is the latest firmware? I called tech support and they say mine is 7 gen away, don’t know if it’s true because my airbuds is only 4 month old December 2023 when it was bought when I look at the receipt.

According to this review I bought fake ones from Best Buy 😢

You should post where you got the fake ones from so others can be careful

I don’t know if mine are fake, because you can see the tech from the light test, but it has the same serial number. Idk what to do.

If the AirPods don’t charge with an Apple Watch charger, does that mean it’s fake?

i’m confused because the airpods pro 2 say they are made in china but ik apple made them in vietnam?

My serial numbers are different in case and AirPods but I think mine are fake cause mine came up as AirPods but once set up was complete it said my name then AirPods

Damn I got scammed. Thought they were real because it showed it had warranty.

Ohh...cool with me. Ill take the fake one

I think I’ve just bought fake one😭😭😭, the sound was good actually and have different serial number each airpod and the case.. and I saw in the phone setting then see the serial code of the airpod it shown serial number and warranty.. arghhh anw my airpod made in vietnam and the charger its not type c.. 😢😢😢 ahhh help me pliss.. is it fake or original

Honestly connect the AirPods to your phone and try to use the find my phone features if the 2nd AirPod pro feature the AirTag way of finding your AirPods if you can’t use that feature on your AirPods they are fake they cannot use it because it’s missing the hard ware to be able to use that feature. And the fake manufacturers are not going to invest money nor time trying to get it to work.

Thanks man. You just saved me $70.

Is there a way to tell if they're fake online? Because I'm looking to buy on ebay and some look legit for 120 or 130

Yeah

I dont think its true that the case and the airpods shouldnt match because on their website it says that regular airpods dont match the case but airpod pros do match

I sadly got scammed twice 😢

Yes I got scammed haha

Mines are fake thanks for the video but I’m out 300 dollars 😫😫😫

Feel is useless, most ppl won’t have both to choose from.

Didn’t even show the tab difference. The fakes are perforated and the real tear on a straight line. The fakes will not pull off in 1 piece

Dude. Easy to spot differences from those cheap fakes. Evidently you haven’t seen the AAA fake ones.

Where did you get the real ones?

My shits fugaga 😂 damn 😢

mine seem fake , but i have typed in the serial number into the apple cover and the serial number on the case it said it had warranty until june 2024

Why I don't find adaptive transparency mode on my iPhone setting? I have airpods pro 2 from Apple store so isn't fake product Can someone help me with a response? Thank you

did the same thing you did

Where did you get the fake ones

How can I tell the difference when I don't have the real thing to compare?

The fake ones dont have SIRI ANNOUNCEMENT

Okay, mine are fake 😔

My fake airpods pro's USB-C's charging case wasn't even USB-C😦

Who care about box

Chill with the ghetto comparison.

The fakes won’t update their firmware!

Yo, like your video.. I have a couple add-ons for your vid.. but first, my back story. I got burnt about three times now.. two by scammers and one didn't know, so got money back. But I got so angry with the last buy, I told myself "im going hunting" and getting as many fakes off of the Norwegian🇧🇻 market. I know its a hard ask.. But I'll get at least hundred off of there. Now - some extra hints to your vid. •The real vs fake wire has a different wrap with a tip sticking out on each side of the paper wraps than those you mentioned you unwrapped. •The silicone tips box on the real vs fake is so tightly fit in the box and you even see it in your vid. 😅 •The silicone tips in the box are different if you look at them from the side (The slits are not even there, only on the buds) vs reals and even the fake silicone in the buds look different as well.. •And I just found out NOW that the inside of both the top and bottom rim if each box part aren't glued in the same way as the reals.. even the cardboard part on the bottom part of the box is also of crap quality!! Wow😂 That's my two cents.. hopefully this helps others on identifying fakes. Thanks Ben

Hey Anthony is there anyway you can help me determine if the ones i have are fake? Through Instagram or Twitter, something I just need help.
