During 2024, many people claimed problems with their airpodsrealizing that they had been scammed, and that, despite being a very good copy, those headphones that they used in their day to day were not original, and that when they were taken to the guarantee, they were not responsible.
This is something that has been increasing over time, due to the low price that they have on websites such as Aliexpress, and then people resell much more expensive, but still economical, with respect to the originals, to people who believe they are.
How to know if airpods are false in 2025
And the problem is more serious than it seems, since, as we explained a year ago, the scam It does not come only from second -hand websites, or little known pages, but even Amazon is selling False airpods Because there are people who buy them, and when returning them, they send one of these replicas, sneaking into the company's stores and selling them as new, without really being the originals.
That is, if we have to answer the question of how to know if they are real, it would be best to go to an Apple Store and verify it, because the box or the serial number can be copied to the millimeter, and not realize.
When trying them, if we have some originals, we could detect any sound differencehowever, if it is the first time we get one, the thing changes, and if it is a good replica, we could get used to it fast and believe that they are really good, because although their battery Nor will it last 6 hours, they have good autonomy, and if they are 4 or 5 we will also believe that they are more than decent, and that they are actually like that.
In summary, there are not many ways, except to verify, to detect, at least in a first glance, if the airpods we buy are original or not, and less over time, where the failures are perfecting.
That is why, many people, before spending 200 euros on some, without knowing if they will be real, look for alternatives of other brands that have no imitations, paying less and taking, anyway, something very good.
This, added to the fact that the people who mistakenly acquired some, believing that they were original, and did not notice difference, have thought it is nonsense to pay so much for others, when using the replica, which they can find for 20 euros, they were happy, and without the risk of losing money if they break or steal them.
And you, do you think Apple should implement some measure Trying to recover people's trust in this product?, or is there so much market behind imitation that it will be difficult for this to happen, forcing people to go to a real Apple Store to buy some, without taking advantage of offers, and without always having a fence for it. Leave us a comment with your opinion, and if you have suffered this scam at some point.
