Fake Samsung AKG Earphones

I have received many comments about how people ended up buying fake Samsung AKG earphones while others mentioned the controversy about how Samsung made it look like AKG will build these earphones.
So in this video we will expand on the manufacturing of the AKG earphones and we will look at how to spot the fake ones.

Just bought an AKG earphone and when I tried it, it sounds nothing like the one that came with my Samsung S8... But it looks just like the original and even came in a Samsung branded box and made in Vietnam. I thought I was gonna get my money's worth but unfortunately I'm a victim of the fakes.

[CrucialP]

I honestly don't think you can get them genuine unless you got them with the phone.

Amazon and eBay need to sort their shit out. Even "Amazon's Choice" sells fakes

Sellers putting "Genuine", "OEM", and "Original" in their titles need to get their listing removed. I would say ban them but they would just come back on another account.

The Counterfeit market are milking the hell out of these headphones.

Got my earphone years back when i buy s10+. But today, it is broken because i forgot to take it out from my pocket and it went into the washer. Really good earphone. Now im struggling with trust issue to buy a new genuine earphone. Thanks for the video.

The one I have is certainly original, because it came along with the original Galaxy S10+ I purchased in 2020 (from an official store). As expected, the details match with almost everything you described for the original... Except for one thing: where the cable separates into right and left, mine says "china" instead. I have many other in ears (good quality ones) and I can say that the Samsung AKG EO-IG955 sounds great, considering it came as bonus, a gift... I hope mine lasts because it is very, very difficult to find where to buy the original ones. Thanks for the video!

As someone who's last pair of working akg headphones died back in january, I wanted a new pair since I liked those headphones so much. Fastforward to today, and a new pair came in the mail, and they are so much cheaper feeling than the authentic ones that came with the phones. The volume button on the right cord doesnt even work, the audio quality isn't *bad* but it is definitely off, they feel so goddamn cheap, I really dont like them. And its sad because I fucking loved these headphones when I first got them with my samsung phone, but now? It's impossible to find a good pair that is authentic. Such a shame.

6:13 exactly my box sold as real. The spelling mistakes made me look if it was fake or not.
The paper wrap of the headphones was perfect by the way so they managed to improve that. The buttons where you can look underneath at 6:25 I have too. lol. Button click needs much more pressure and has a more loud sound. Cable is less flexible. So yes, fully agree with your analysis! De splitter shows vietnam by the way.

I like these headphones because they are very thin and I can put my head on my pillow sideways with these in my ears. I have never found thinner earbuds so I stick with these.

i bought a fake akg a week ago and i didnt truly know how to differentiate them. now only the right one is playing lol. thanks for the tips, will for sure put them on try for my net earphone hunt

[CRISPY_BACON_TEAM_CrazyFC]

I bought the fake one for Rs500 which is about $11 and am still using it for like 1.5 years now and they sound super good given they are so cheap...

I even left it in my washing machine one day by mistake and the earphones are still good and no quality change...The earphones are very durable and are very comfy and easy to carry

Edit: I didnt buy mine online, I just bought it in my local tech store...

[dkland]

Akg website doesn't even sell the ones that came with Samsung.

[mygodisable]

Thanks, great video. I received the AKG earphones from Samsung because I requested them, they did not come in my box when I purchased the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 5G. They shipped this item via UPS envelope in black packaging, says made in Vietnam?

[blurryflacko]

I bought the fake ones but they looked so genuine i had to search on YouTube 🤣

[mrsagor]

Amazing Video! I have been watching so many videos on this topic since years, but this is the video that actually helped me out to understand which one is original or which one is fake. Thanks a lot. I have an original one that came with my S10+ box and a fake one that I bought from a guy. I didn’t realise until now!

[andrive]

Good video. Mine is original with USB-C and I got it for $12

[tadokorovsky]

I have both S10 and S8's AKG earbuds and they actually sounded different. At first I thought the one with S10 was fake since I bought my S10 on ebay...I took them apart and found they were real with the dual pull-push drivers, I couldn't put them back though. What a price to check the authenticity😂

[mehedi.nothing]

Does fake AKG (type c) takes frame ware updates automatically?

[Airsaber]

Great video! However... My earphones that were bundled with my S10 (that was bought directly from Samsung) are pure black and there's "China" instead of "Vietnam" on the separator. The rest is like you say: the cap with the logo is smooth, the microphone hole isn't super small, there's no flange on the jack. Even the shine of the soft plastic that covers the buds is the same.

I have a pair of akg where the cable separates into two parts on one side its says vietnam other side it says YB does the originals are also like this or it only says Vietnam? Please tell

So, I bought this fake S9 akg earphone for like 100 pesos (Philippines) or 2$ and it's a buy 1 take 1. Overall, it does feel cheap and the audio is not great but not bad too, it's okay for cheap earphones. I think I've had it for over a month and it is still working. I had many other earphones broken because I was careless and didn't have a case on. My advice is have a case to put the earphone in.
