How to Tell if my Galaxy Buds 2 are Fake - Eclipse 2024 Glasses

I got suckered on some fake galaxy buds 2.

That's so crazy how the boxes look identical! Very convincing!

[DruTvT]

Welp, should've known mine was fake the moment the buds started to say "connected"

[alexanderdrula]

Great way to tell the difference. Thanks for this tip

I have bought it for the second time the Buds2, both had the AKG; but what's was making me a little hesitant about my most recent acquisition is that there's not a mesh withing the earbud rubber whereof my last one did have. All in all, It's clear that both that I had/have are original (great quality, etc), but the seller "cheapened" the price by switching some original accessories--- the dead give away was when I checked the alternative earpieces size, they are all white. Thankfully I still have the original extra accessories from my first Buds2

They seem identical because they are probably manufactured in the same factory...

My fake buds from Aliexpress connect to the Galaxy Wearables app just fine. They're also called Samsung Buds Live in my list of Bluetooth devices. Honestly still half convinced I landed a real legitimate pair.

The newer fakes have akg written, and even the heavy weight is there on both its hard buying online because everyone is selling including on ebay and Amazon is flooded with fakes

[michaelweeks]

I think the best way is to buy them directly from Samsung

The weight of the earbuds does not need to be checked. Every real one would have a sound by AKG. If it doesn't have such a title: then it's the fake one. When buying them online, you need to check if they are below the average price... which is 150$ ''if you live in the US.'' The other thing you have to look out for before buying is to see if there is an option to ''return.'' There are many tech stores and providers in the US that offer this option for a limited period of time. If the provider or the place you bought them doesn't suggest any of these ''alternatives'' don't bother buying them. It's a scam.
Usually, fake ones are made in China: When looking at the box or specifically at the serial number, it has to say made in Vietnam. This is because the microchips used for the phone or any smart devices come from Vietnam, and I consider there was a manufacturing law; that obliges the producers to place this title on the box. But the main prover of all Samsung devices is South Korea!

How can you compare sound without comparing sound? This was the whole point i guess

[Farizerz]

Hey bro, can the real galaxy buds pro be charged in the fake charging case? I lost mine and considering buying a fake case

[chrismne]

The point shall be that we can see the diffeernce on the box. whats the point if someone has to buy one and than realize that he/she bought fakes ones?
We need to see difference on the box not from the inside. Its kinda late when we open them and realize that we have fake ones.

[Khrego]

good i would always look at that "sound by AKG" thing

[lionheart.]

I bought the fake ones and the sound quality is terrible. Just bad.

[yashkadam]

I bought galaxy buds 2 at store of Samsung, when I mistakenly. Drop my case in water . And I go to service centre. They replaced my case so my question is, my Samsung case is orginal or no, pls tell me

[aduasz_]

Is it a great earbud for running?
(I mean the original)

[ssadam]
