I have never, EVER needed to re-pair my AirPods Pro since the 1st day I bought, something that I had to do every now and then with EVERY other bluetooth earphones that I have bought. Also, if I I ever miss place the AirPod case or the earphones anywhere at home or at the office,I have compass like tracking that leads me to them. If I ever forget them somewhere, I can open the Find My app and see on the map where their location is. NO other earphones have these unique lifesaving features. Change my mind.

Ah 😕 I appreciate the video and explanation. I definitely got the fake ones. Since the beginning I was wondering if they were new because of how they came in the box and the charging case seems too flimsy. But didn’t even considered they could be fake! Interesting to see how “great” counterfeit they make nowadays. I was easily tricked into thinking they were real. Will definitely buy them directly from Apple now. Thank you!!
Thanks man. You just saved me from buying fake AirPods.3.
Thanks so much for this video. I went to buy Airpods 3rd Gen, they were obviously perfectly packaged, almost impossible to tell. So I forced the seller to let me open them, insisting I will buy them if legit. Of course almost immediately it became apparent - the two strips didn't peel off correctly. Then the plastic wrapping was wrong. Then, when opening the case, the light was a tell-tale green, and I got the 'not your airpods' message on my phone. So obvious the guy was trying to scam me, thanks to your video! Just saved me 150 euro!

Extremely helpful sir, thank you very much for putting this video together for us.
Were the fake ones present on the Find My network?
Thank brother. It was helpful.
Does the fake one can update firmware? I don’t think so right? Cuz i see at 07:33 it has the latest firmware like the real one. Someone plz help to explain.
Planning to buy the fake ones for wireless charging.. The airpods gen 2 costs 15$ and the airpods pro costs 22$ which ones should i buy? I can't find wireless charging earbuds bellow 50$ so im planning to buy the fake ones.
Hello i dont know my serial number is same at box and in setting but model number is different are they fake?
Hi. Bro there are some sound quality right.?
Thank I appreciate your video I'm buying a pair and looking out fir fake ones now
This is a great video for those who maybe aren't as internet savvy, or at least internet shopping savvy, or who try putting their trust in the wrong sellers to try and save some money. However, I have a couple suggestions for things that could have been talked about here, but weren't. Maybe you can keep them in mind for future videos? I'm partially blind, so I don't look at the box, stickers, manual, etc, so it's good your video included information about the bottom tabs and the poorly-wrapped case. However, does the fake box have the images of the air pods carefully embossed on top? For other videos, it would be great if you talked more about build quality differences. You had a good start with weight, but no info on how the plastic feels, or if the case hinge is different. Also, how might the features differ or work poorly? What about force touch? Does that work, and result in the same little tap sound? Does spacial audio work? For these questions, I'm guessing not quite, or no, but it would be great for consumers to know either way. Lastly, I see that iOS seems to recognize them as air pods when pairing. Does this extend into the bluetooth settings? If you go into the bluetooth menu and press the more info button next to the device name, will the same options/info show up as it would for real Air Pods 3, or would it closer resemble something from Air Pods 2 or regular non-Apple headphones? If you go into control center when using them, then go into the volume bar, is there a spatial audio settings button right below? Sorry for rambling, but I think answering these additional questions would help put a lot more people at ease and, conversely, make a lot more aware that they've for sure been ripped off big time. Even if you can't answer these questions for these fake pods, I hope this comment will be helpful when you make future videos. Anyway, thanks for the great video! I didn't need it, as my 3s are the real deal, but it's a great thing you've done for others, even if this is but one example of fakes.
I have fake ones here... Same serial # everywhere, but show as airpods on ipad, and have the meshed speaker phone, unrecognizable !

That's just nuts! This crap is why I have a hard time trusting third-party sellers for anything. I got my 3s from Walmart, delivered from store, so at least I knew, even before this video, they were real. Seems like the fakers are getting a bit better at it.
I have a very weird problem and hope to know someone can give me the explanation. I bought Airpods 3rd, the first thing I do is to check the serial even before unboxing. But checkcoverage said that can not find this serial number and I did not see any information about that Airpods, so i unboxed it and 20 minutes later i checked the serial number again and saw the icon of Airpods 3rd on checkcoverage, but the purchase date have not been validated? So i wonder if it is a fake Airpods?
I don't understand this, the a-iPods 3rd generation flash green on the pictures and video on the apple website???
This was very helpful, I ordered mine from eBay for $50 usd open box, I found out they were fake but I don’t mind as I got 100 dollars off and they don’t seem much different to the originals.

If it's the same serial number on both airpods, they are probably fake. The original ones have different serial numbers on both. As for apple care, you probably have a pair that copied the serial number from some real ones

What if the AirPods have all the characteristics of a fake one but if you put the serial number on apple’s coverage page it appears as a registered product?
Found this because I bought a $79 pair of Gen 3's off eBay that were listed as "open box / store return". Wording in the Ad was obviously done by a non-native English speaker. Arrived and I was suspicious opening the box, sloppy tabs like the video and had to almost break my nails to pull the bottom out. All seemed fine until I paired with my iMac, and noticed the Airpods would not auto-switch between phone and computer. Had to always re-pair to the iMac once they had been connected to the iPhone. Also got the "not your Airpods" message". Have never seen that with My Gen 2 or Pro's. Sound quality was immediately suspect. They sounded very hollow with little bass. I then compared them to my 2nd Gen Airpods which sounded MUCH better. This led me to starting doing research and found this video. Of note, the serial numbers did match the box and case, each AirPod had a different serial, but when I searched on Apple's serial lookup, it gave an error. Luckily eBay offers buyer protection. Sending them back even for $79.

Thanks for this review we really appreciate it! Though they may be fake is there a difference in quality or features from the original? I personally don't mind saving the money if there's no difference. Packaging is one thing sound quality and features is another. Look forward to hearing from you.

Yes. I boought fakes (highest grade) and they sound great, may be slightly better than reals. One problem is the button presses itself randomly. Other downgrades are no spatial, no auto switch between iphone, ipad and other apple devices, you have to reset the fakes every time you want to connect to another device, the fakes also feel light, plastic material not as great, the case not perfectly fitted. Seller didn't care about this problem. So then, I decided to buy real ones. No more problem and everything works like a charm. If i move from one device to another the airpods connect automatically within seconds. Buy real ones, you will thank me later
