not sure about battery life as I wasn't really using it much
i'm also not an audiophile plus i have mild hearing problem so my opinion on sound quality will probably not valid
but one thing for sure is it has way more hissing sound compared to my original airpod

anyway i've already returned the fake airpod as that's one of the lazada's condition to issue refund (even though i may be able to go to the place and recollect the item as someone there call me and said there is nobody claiming the parcel) rolleyes.gif

Kesian those who bought fake AirPods and think they got real one.

These cheaters should be heavily punished!

I used to think counterfeit products would be easy to spot, from spelling, shape, finishing etc

If it takes a failed firmware update then really need to be careful.

corad as you can see here, they look very similar. In my case, if you don't have the original side by side, you won't be able to tell it's fake.
Also, without the charging case, I won't be able to tell which piece is the fake one; I was very careful when I put them side by side as I scared I accidentally switch the piece biggrin.gif

How about the material/build of the fake pods? Are they similar to the real one as well? sweat.gif

I think I should head over to the return address and take the fake airpod back and then we can do a lot more testing with it biggrin.gif

Have I mention that it also support noise cancellation & transparency mode just like the real airpod pro?

I bought a RM50+ AirPods Pro from Shopeeee

The sound quality = too much bass, it makes me headache and tired (people love bass so much is it)

Noise Cancellation, Transparency mode = Not working at all, using iPhone 11 on latest firmware, I can toggle between the ANC modes and Spacial Audio, however I couldn't tell any differences, and when I remove the internal parts it is just basic parts. (sorry I teared it open)

Ear tips = I tried to change the ear tips but guess what, I broke it, the wires inside immediately torn away. And so one of the unit already can throw dustbin.

Charging case = quality is very original feel. I love fiddle the case open and close, but the words on top of the casing don't feel like Apple's product at all.

Other than that, all those sensors are just barely working.
I just say, it is RM50+ only what can I expect?

I wear it outside people might say "woah, atas" enough liao.

Besides bad experience buying fake AirPods. Have anyone knowingly bought the fake and had good experience from it?

If it is just purely listening music without too focusing on audio quality i guess i will give it a pass.
But the microphone quality heavily depends on that unit.
For mine it sounds muddy when I am replaying the audio recording recorded from the fake AP.

The only way to ensure it's original, buy from machines switch and from a few reputable sellers such as thunder, sen q etc.

Cuz it's hard to differentiate original and fake airpods
