Knock-off electronics have a well-deserved reputation for being a complete waste of money, but some fans claim that these fake AirPods are as good as the real ones but at a fraction of the price. Could these no-name Chinese replicas possibly take on Apple? We test with some friends from around the office to find out.

i dont think hes 100% correct. yes, theres a good bit of "i want an iphone 4 because its an iphone 4.. i meam airpods". however, i used plenty of expensive alternatives and the airpods pro, imo, are sufficiently better, heres why: - convnience. the box is small and easy to pocket. the airpods are easy to put in your ear and take off. two things where they beat everyone else - comfort. you can keep them in for the whole day and not feel anything and really thats it. theres some with better sound. better battery life. better noise cancelling. but none are as convenient and comfortable.

One of the things I’ve noticed and doing sound tests is that higher quality sound does not jump out at you right away. When I first used a pair of high-end headphones I thought there’s no big deal to this they’re not that nice and I was going back-and-forth between my new headphones in my old. But after using them for approximately 20 minutes and then going back to the previous low quality pair the difference was night and day.

To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. ukposts.infoUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-S3V55Dskg5QJ8xr1yCR That said, compared to the 3rd Gen, I notice these do not stay planted in the ear as well. One design issue I think, is you squeeze the stem and click it twice to advance your songs. On 3rd gen you tap the large speaker. The difference is by grabbing the stem each time, you tend to loosen the bud fit in your ear. Not always, but the bud falls out a few times while running. The old tap to change never had that problem for me. I would not have changed that tap function. That said, the newer Pro version sticks in the ear, almost airtight if you want that. I do not like that Airtight fit. So that's why I'd stay with this version as the best trade off of comfort, use, and overall feel.

I got a pair of AirPod knock offs last year out of curiosity (also not wanting to spend real AirPod money) and I'll say they were great for the first few months. Unfortunately, after those first few months they stopped being able to hold a charge for more than an hour or so and the case began breaking down. Pairing and inaccurate battery reporting were also issues as shown in this video.
@jeffroscoe9449
@jeffroscoe9449 2 роки тому
Probably the #1 thing that makes me prefer Airpods (non-pro) over any other alternatives is that it seems they are the only ones that do NOT have the suction-tight ear fitting that almost all other fully wireless earbuds do these days. It's pretty hard to find any alternatives without it. The airpods still sit in my ear safely and play great sound, but i can still hear the outside world *enough* so that i can pick up on what's going on around me (e.g., at work, gym, running). Having my ears totally blocked is a little unsettling when I'm trying to move around and do anything. With the regular airpods, if I need to talk to anyone (and hear them), i can just pause my music and hear them fine. With the fully sealing kind, i definitely have to pause and fully remove one of my buds to hear anything. Also during strenuous exercise the suction-tight earbuds that block the entire ear canal opening honestly affect my breathing; slightly, but enough to be distracting. For running specifically, they produce a subtle but uncomfortable negative pressure spike inside my ears upon every step. (Kinda hard to describe without experiencing first hand). The regular airpods don't do that since they don't totally seal off the ear openings. Anyway thank you for reading my novella.

In this case, however, FakePodsTM 2 seemingly outdid the AirPods 2, in contrast to the rest of the lineup. That's a straight way to getting yourself to choose whether you want something that looks like a not-so-aged AirPods pair, or something that accounts for the actual quality for the same price.

Just to add some perspective from someone that enjoys Airpods for practical reasons (not social/fashion), I enjoy them primarily for convenience. I like the fact that they just work with my iPhone & iPad, I like that they pair automatically and can transition relatively seamlessly between my 2 Apple devices based on whichever happens to be playing audio at the time. I've actually had to use the "Find My" feature a couple of times to figure out where I'd absent mindedly sat them in the past. If at any point I change over to another brand of phone or tablet, I'd likely replace the airpods with something else. The only reason I found out that my first pair of Airpods Pros were fake, was because none of those previously mentioned convenience features worked properly like they did on my regular Airpods (that and the different sized silicone tips didn't seem to fit fake pros correctly)

I had some cheap Soundcore earbuds and they sounded just as good m than my EarPod’s pro. They even fit my ears better tbh. The only problem i had was they lacked apples features.
@michaelcorcoran8768

Yeah, especially if you're using an Android device. The newer sound core products are taking advantage of better codec like aptx, ldac. Soundcore app has the best EQ outside of qudelix 5k ( a Bluetooth adapter which offers a parametric equalizer). Even a $60 pair from SoundCore usually has app support.

This is so relevant, my father recently bought me a pair of AirPods Pro, he didn't know they were fake. I for a long time couldn't tell if they were fake, but "Designed by in California" on the wireless case, Designed by Apple in Clifornia" on the box, noise cancellation not working made me realize that they were fake.

I've owned the Blvcknoir Airpods 2 clones for approx. two years now (ordered them when the infamous Undox Threapy video dropped). They took 3 months to get to me (I know some people didn't receive them, but that's another story). Still use them, they're fine soundwise, but the battery life is about an hour now after two years of light to medium use. The only thing I'm worried about now is, what do I replace them with if they die?

It would make sense for the Airpods 2 to be the hardest to differentiate in terms of usage, since the fakes of these have been developed and refined the longest (also the original is the oldest Apple true wireless earphone product) so it has time to catch up and beat the original in some aspects. While the others… not as much time to refine but you get the idea.

The knockoff/fakes culture in China is one of my favorite aspects of living here. It's really cool to go to the markets in Shenzhen and see brand-new versions of everything I saw last month. People there are constantly iterating and tweaking things not to mention the mod culture there. Love it and love trying out the products on the cheap. I had a pair of airpod knockoffs I dailied for a year and was sad when I accidentally dipped them in water and couldn't find a replacement. Edit: Also forgot to mention that I pay less than a quarter of what was quoted in the video for these items and they're probably not a great deal if you're buying them online.

@@YouLose you can use a hardware EQ in the devices to match to frequency response of the official devices. Or, even, send more expensive devices to misrepresent their hardware so that the response range is tighter and closer to the official devices.

The thing with the non-pro airpods is, due to their earbuds style design, they don't form a seal to your ear canal, and there's quite a bit of wiggle room in the ears, they'll sound different everytime you put them on depending on how well you insert them. And it's easy to get a tinny sound (again, there's no seal), so people would prefer the bloated bassy sound of a generic earbuds over the real airpods because they'll sound "fuller"
