    Given the ever increasing RRP of Apple's wares, I have been tempted to look out for some of their recent products on the 2nd hand market - particularly Airpods / etc. The ear-wax factor alone is pretty off-putting once you start investigating... but the amount of fakes on eBay ultimately just makes the idea seem fraught with the likelihood of ending up with non-Apple garbage. So thanks for answering the other question - should I just go for some non-Apple knock off. And the answer is no.

Just want to add that overall are not that bad, the iPhone recognises it as a genuine airpod so is cool, and the sound quality is acceptable, the gain is crazy tho, I have to use it with the minimum level of volume and sometimes it is too much for my ear haha also the microphone is terrible, people can barely understand when I pick up calls with those, so those fake airpods are just fine if you didn't pay a cent for it but otherwise is not worth anything, if your budget is kinda low but you appreciate quality make the effort for some Sony

    It's not the codec or anything that's the problem, it's the tuning, which is how emphasised certain frequencies are, bass focused headphones boost low frequencies heavily, hearing aids boost high frequencies heavily, etc, these headphones have the low frequencies boosted beyond the point of insanity, causing the distortion even at the lowest volume level, if they turned the low frequencies down, they could be decent.
