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'm supposed to be an event coordinator" gave me a good chuckle
This killed me
Poor guy. I hope they have other jobs for him aside from being in random videos
Oof, poor guy. Made me chuckle, too, tho
Exactly :D
@@eristheslayer he has been there since 2020 of course he has other things to do
I love how Riley threw in some critical analysis at the end about why the airpods became such an object of desire.
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.
@@kangsterizer I have to say, I tried airpods pro's and OnePlus buds pro, and to be fair, both are pretty much the exact same for me. But, since I only had a limited time to test the airpods, I can't really say for long trips. My OnePlus buds pro are not uncomfortable even after wearing them for 6 hours straight.
@@kangsterizer ehhh, there are plenty of headphones that fit these checkboxes nowdays.
@@alexlull1634 but not as convenient or comfortable. Linus has said many times that’s why he prefers them to all the others he’s tried, and even sleeps with.
@@kangsterizer I think that's why the airpods pro are so good. but the base airpods are so different (and so much worse) that it's baffling to me how they're even part of the same product line. I tried airpods and returned them after a day - they were worse than the $25 wireless headphones I was trying to replace off amazon ...
That intro sketch and editing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Would love to see more stuff like this! You guys have an insane output volume!
I just love all of the vids with Riley because you can tell how much he loves his job by all of that enthusiasm
Riley was the best hire they've had ever since Luke.
Best hire ever!
Anthony or james imo. I find riley mildly annoying sometimes
Both from NCIX.
@@THEpicND Dennis
I love Anthony but sometimes I find him boring cause the topics he talks about are usually very technical.
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.
Yep once you been listening to xm4 going back to anything less than that quality. The thing about hifi audio is that it adds extra things that aren't normally in crappy like maybe a quite synth in the background. The other is spatial audio..good headphones feels like the sound came from the direction it came from. I have literally thought a bark from a dog in the background has tripped me up
Thankfully someone got you your 60th like!
@@monsterhunter445 xm4 are decent but not that amazing imo.
@@monsterhunter445 xm4 should be considered very meh compared to true audiophile headphones. In actual facts when you wear things like the HD650 6xx 560s or Sundara you will find the Xm4 to sound garbage due to it overwhelming bass.
That's absolutely true, bad sound sticks out like a sore thumb. But if your randomly trying headphones u can't really gauge the quality without some sort of reference
I tried a lot of clones and some of them sound really good, but don't survive more than a few months.
After going through a lot of clones and trying earphones from various brands, I've settled on the soundpeats TrueAir2 because the fit is similar to Apple airpods, the sound is good, battery lasts a long time and they pair reliably.
I am a re-seller so I have used pretty much every headphone from every manufacturer and you are right. I have had many customer come and try to return those. I accept return for all of my headphones except the fakes. They have 50% failure rate in my experience
Why would you want stalks coming out of your ear tho?
@@Kyharra Who knows, I hate the feeling of those. Currently enjoying my Fiil t1 lite
Is this a paid sponsor
@@mridul3526 paid sponsor in a comment section? I'm not even sure how that would work lol.
I just spent a lot of time trying various wireless earphones and this is the best I've found so far at an affordable price.
Technology wise, I prefer the haylou GT1 because the connectivity is great and I can even pair one side with my laptop and the other side with my phone, at the same time.
But Haylou doesn't have an airpod style fit, which I find more comfortable for prolonged use.
This is so funny, the test reflects my experience perfectly. Real Airpods2 are virtually indistinguishable from the fake ones, while the Pros are more difficult to replicate because of the ANC algorithms
hi, where did you bought them?
We need more of Crazy Uncle Riley's APPLE EMPORIUM
Mom look I'm famous
not sure if he's acting still.
WTF?!?? WHAT IS THIS?!?!?!?!?!!!! I HATE LTT HES A BAD CZcamsR I DISLIKE YOU😠👿😞👎👎
If they did as a regular skit inside Mac Address I might even think on subscribing there 🤔
I cannot remember the refrence. Maybe It's from the Simpsons?
@@PenguinYayOne malfunctioning eddie from futurama maybe, im not sure
Did LTT just copied Glarses transition? I'm so proud of Glarses
uuuuu yeaaah
Yeeeeeup.
uuuUUU yeah
Nah man filthyfrank came up with that then glarses ripped it off and the editor at ltt probably meant to reference filthyfrank
@@sozzll They've had some communication with Glarses in past videos I'd guess the reference was to him
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.
To my ears these 3rd Gen Air pods are more comfortable compared to the newer Pro version with the soft gel tips. czcams.com/users/postUgkxgl8SzyQoymMu-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 mean, Riley could sell me anything with the tone of that intro.
WTF?!?? WHAT IS THIS?!?!?!?!?!!!! I HATE LTT HES A BAD CZcamsR I DISLIKE YOU😠👿😞👎👎
This is the best intro I’ve even seen on a LTT video. Your writers need a raise immediately. Riley is best person for that country accent.
@Projit shuffle off your mortal coil
Definitely my favorite intro
His voice reminded me of Michael Scott 😀
Thank you! This was very informative. Although I"m really looking for Airpod alternatives more than fakes.
I love how informative all this research was, most of the time when it comes to product reviews, there either is little difference, minding the product cost, or are straight-up incomarapable. 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.
I love the vibes Riley gives off in the intro. Nearing Weird Al UHF levels of fun.
@Projit hmm
Riley is a great host ! Anthony and Riley killing it !
guarantee that if he'd have used propulsepods replicas it would have been a lot closer. They probably bought the worse possible clones to prove their point. I agree though that most replicas are crap, but not all of them luckily.
Did you even watch it lol. They got sent to them.
55$ is not dirt cheap for replicas
propulsepods is their name? i think i saw them on ig as well the other day
bro these are the latest from airreps, with airoha and huilian chips
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.
I liked your novella. And appreciate your writing it (so I don't have to). You expressed my thoughts on the suction in-ears exactly. I cannot handle the suction thing; my ears need to breathe.
Especially when moving about / exercising.
Cheers
Airpods pro has vents so your ears can still breathe and also has transparency mode so you can hear the world so they’re still better lol
sounds like the sony linkbuds (non s) are for you then.
Rule number one for any form of audio testing/comparing is to gain match, since us humans have a tendency to like louder more. So it wasn’t really a fair test. But still interesting!
But if the headphones are actually quieter, or limited, how can they gain match? I feel this is more a test between the total quality of the item than the actual audio output alone.
@@maquettemusic1623 they just need to turn up the volume to match with the real Airpods. If they wanted to test quality they would've done that themselves and not in a test solely for audio quality
You can see in the video the subjects controlled their own volume, so it's totally fair.
@@tjl2836 isn't it db/volume matching then and not gain matching? 8)
@@tjl2836 But if it's being played off the same device at the same set volume, then the lower output of the fake ones is a inherent flaw which they're evaluating of the overall device. if you're playing the same source materiel from the same device, it's already gainstaged because the source is the same. What you're describing is just turning up the volume, i.e. the output of the headphones. Gainstaging is the output of the source.
The real telltale on these would've been the mic quality. Real AirPods have a trash mic and fakes are usually even worse
Yeah that would have been interesting to hear, but apart from that, no in-ear wireless headphones will ever have great mic quality, because they are far away and literally "behind" your mouth
@@lucasmarsula7924 I think I'll only really fully switch to wireless headphones when the mics improve.. Right now, the convenience of 'no wires' doesn't outweigh the crappiness of the mics
Real AirPods have a trash mix? I know most of the knockoffs do but whenever I talk to someone with real AirPods it sounds just fine. Nothing special but it’s a tiny mic in a tiny earbud.
@@brandonambrose $250 AirPods mic = $5 generic wired headphones inline mics... They could put really good microphones into AirPods but the limitation is the Bluettoth used to convey the signal.
AirPods mics are "ok" as wireless headphones - they're trash compared to wired mics
@@lucasmarsula7924 I find I have better luck with Bluetooth neckbands. Not sure if it's because they have more room for antennas or microphones or if it's just a coincidence and it kind of neckbands have been using.
Production quality is so good. Really love to see it.
Been subscribed for many years. That intro was the best yet! Riley is great
It is SHOCKING how good these knock offs are sometimes
What is most shocking is that apple have done this for years. Peoples expectations are just low or in this case, unaware of the quality they pay for.
By far the best pair of wireless buds are some like 20$ vankyo ones. The case holds a charge literally for weeks. I charged the case a month ago and its still not dead, its nuts and the buds sound so good. I literally couldnt believe it. Also the chargeable case has saved me many times when my phones died, just plug it into the usb port on it and ive gotten enough juice to make the call or get directions. Seriously, check em out if you dont wanna spend much
Idk if I'm impressed by the knockoffs or dissapointed in Apple
Where does one get these
You stole this comment
I'd love some of the videos about these wireless earbuds to also review the microphones in the devices. I have the airpods 3 and the mic is so much clearer than any alternative I've ever used.
THe humor in this video is top notch. I never saw a linus tech tips video that was so good in that regard.
I loved the fatherly advice Riley gave in the end: Dont give to much on owning expensive tech to be part of a group.
Actually, that 50 unit roundup was phenomenal and i got the J29's from the rec and have yet to regret them. I wish LTT did a more recent big roundup of stuff we actually have the money to buy and want/need but wouldn't buy shit just to try.
They left the raycons in the final four. That definitely did not help the credibility on that one
3:34 i just got a hit of nostalgia
To avoid these knock offs and still get great headphones at a bargain. Buy headphones that don't try to imitate the competitor %100. Most of the time these clone companies spend way more on R&D for the accurate look and feel of a product than giving them quality componentry.
Link?! I just need someone to point me in the the right direction
@@plforeal4392 skullcandy dime earbuds. You can buy the skullcandy dime 2 or dime 3 for around $30 at most technology stores. Sound quality is pretty good especially for the price

Well done on the 1-5 scale for metacognition. Super useful.
Hopefully the upcoming controller video goes over the joycon drift- because it is very long term fixable (unknown if it could be considered 'permanent', only been like a year since a true good way to solve it has come)
WTF?!?? WHAT IS THIS?!?!?!?!?!!!! I HATE LTT HES A BAD CZcamsR I DISLIKE YOU😠👿😞👎👎
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.
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.
Yeah, because the EarPod’s pro sound like you are listen next to a creek.
This is a great channel! I only caught sight of you folks in recent times, but it’s now among my favourite channels......
I love this channel always give the best reviews and are brand leaders. Just look at the way they blindfolded people to test sound quality. Great stuff!!
I totally agree but I dont understand how they can evaluate the sound when they are blindfolded.
@@yamaexplosion8645 Well the video did state that operation of android devices had to be used so i guess they had to prevent them from seeing that
@@yamaexplosion8645 Especially for those of us who prefer to taste, smell, see and feel sound.
It has nothing to do with sound. The fake airpods does not look exactly the same as the real ones, did all of you missed the first few minutes of the video?!

I didn't know glarses used it, I remember it from filthy frank LOL

However, I think she gives Linus anxiety when she is a feature of a video. She is all over the place in her nervousness!
she is indeed ! she needs to make some reviews
I actually bought some fake airpods pro (they're called Navapods) and they still work fine (bought them 2 months ago). Everything looks the same, same functions and the sound is decent too (I'd say 8/10 compared to the retails). So yeah, clones aren't bad but you need to choose wisely lol

Hands down one of the best cold opens to an LTT video 😂
Love the Glarses transition! LOL
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?
I mean. Another clone? You seem okay with knockoff drawbacks.
The transition card for the AirPods 2 reminds me of the transitions from filthy frank…. Weird but cool!

My God I love Riley. Thank you for you Yeats of laughs sir. Your writing and delivery always makes me smile
YES!!! I am excited for the controller fixing video! I have an elite 1 controller that is drifting so I would love to see it :D
Its funny how the company is so proud of themselves for producing knockoff Airpods
At least they aren’t crazy expensive
I mean if you managed to do something similar to someone else but cheaper, you would be too, for example, the RX6500 is really bad but compared withe RTX3050 the MSRP difference and the similarities in performance makes it a little bit more appealing and then the Store prices makes it even more appealing.
@Arnab Das "Arnab" are you talking about US prices or Indian prices in USD?
@Arnab Das I asked because I knew my friend. I could feel it from the bottom of my heart. Even SSDs that cost Rs.3.5k in usa, cost over Rs.5k in Ind.
Every time I see these prices I rage about our dirty govt & sellers. If you think gaming parts are priced bad, wait till you see electronic instruments & used datacenter gear.
Sellers here have the audacity to stock old parts & models & still not put them on sale. Even 2yrs old gaming laptops barely have decent discounts.
If any console does drop in price though, I'm pulling the trigger!
Apple makes them for pennies and upmarks them by a lot, do remember that Apple is firstly a fashion company, then a tech company.
"i'm supposed to be an event coordinator" lol
killed me. RIP LTX.
I was genuinely surprised how good the airpod pros are, but I still think my linsoul t2's are much better. I'll stay wired to my phone until I can get repairability like linsoul earphones.
My Sony ones are only good to about 60 feet prom the phone indoors before it starts have problems. Oh well.
I got the Soundcore life p2 mini for £23.99 and more than good enough, noise cancelling could be improved but a great budget pair.
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 liked my set too.. until one day they lost like 40% volume, and then they're completely unusable to me now. As someone who works with them I can't hear anything I'm listening to because they're so quite. I've tried numorous devices including game consoles.. and they're super quite. Don't know what happened! I've tried resetting or repairing .. nothing works. I only had them like 6 months before this happened. Makes them useless and I costly error unfortunately
@@Easelgames You probably got them dirty with earwax, clean them
should have tested mic quality, a friend of mine that bought ones like this said sounded the same but the mic was basically unusable
3:33 Glasses who here knows
That audio during the 3:34 transition hit me hard with the old CZcams nostalgia. I miss you Papa Franku. But I also love Joji's new career.
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.
I love videos like this, that incorporates some acting and keeps the acting a part of the intro (I especially loved the sponsor part in Riley's softened voice)
The fact that you whisper the class wire add as well is genius
This is one of the best LTT intros ever
I love Riley. Dudes a champion presenter/host.
The tozo nc9s are amazing. They were $50 on Amazon and don't sound as good as Sony ones but the battery is way better.
i have some tozo as well. Given that I only use them when i can't use full size speakers or (practically speaking) over the ear headphones, I'm very satisfied for the price.
I love the transitions inspired by Glarses 😂
Love the Glarsses reference :D
Controller joystick repair will be cool. I would also love to see knockoff controllers get a comparison too, there's clones for almost every controller.
I think the fact that I used the first gen AirPods almost every single day for 2 years and the battery life held up says a lot and my new pros connect to multiple devices instantly without a hitch.
The last time I heard the "oohh yeah" sound was when papa Franku was still around making content.
I did not expect to remember him from a vid from LTT
I've been using Lenovo ThinkPlus XT90 headphones (black version) with my iPhone SE Gen 2 (256GB); for $16 they get the job done just fine. Makes no sense spending $250 for Airpods Pros when the entire phone (factory unlocked) cost me that much, albeit used.
Not the best sound quality I've ever heard, but for sub-$20 they're a lot better than I was expecting. Most importantly the fit is perfect. Battery life is a solid 3-3.5 hrs before needing to recharge with the case. They're great to use at work where sound quality is good enough to drown out machinery noise.
I think I'll also be getting the Lenovo LivePods LP5 headphones for personal use. They're about the same price but I've heard they're cleaner sounding.
I use a Sony headset at home, probably $300 or so.
''im supposed to work on events'' man good guy linus, acting like a dad to this young son
A Frequency response measurement graph would have been really nice to see here. Since so many mentioned the bass bloat.
(accurate) Fr equipment is crazy expensive and ltt aren't really in the business of critical analysis of headphones
That being said, it would have been cool to have, even if impractical.
You hear graphs bro? Every person said more bass so it has more bass.
@@FaithfulFrets there is more to bass then just "bass" sub base, mid base, the way it interacts with the lower mids. Most people making these judgments probably don't have perfect hearing or the ability to place a frequency after hearing it. So yes graphs are helpful and most importantly unbiased
@@JoeNokers Fair, though they are bulding the lab. And a decent GRAS rig is 7-10k afaik, thats not that expensive for LTT standards.
What I would recommend is getting a set of IEM'S from the random manufacturers like BGVP and then getting a Bluetooth cable fit for mmcx or similar connector :)
They man not have ANC but the audio quality is far better
Get KZ
The Host is killing it ! use this guy more often Linus.
This sounds interesting
Hell yeah it does
Wait they actually used the Glarses sound effect et 3:40
Love the opening 😂
I Love this Intro. We all need that kind of energy in our life
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.
Interesting! Thank you!
Also really cool to just throw away the old stuff from a month ago and buy a bunch of new future e-waste for a few bucks. It doesn't scale, but cheap folks just don't care.
I've gone through 4 pairs of replica AirPod Pros. They work for about 1 year of heavy use until the battery stops holding charge. It's a bad battery management thing because other established brands (like Soundcore) don't have this problem.
how good were they? what was the best one you owned?
@@isrcinimatic587 I just use Jennys now, no longer cheap ones from Ali. Battery life is excellent with those. Sound quality is on par with the real thing and can be customised (hardware EQ presets) using their app. ANC is brilliant. And it's compatible with everything, even latest iOS after an update. They're so cheap that I don't bother buying other brands anymore.
Great message at the end!
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'm supposed to be an event coordinator" 🤔😂

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"
I like that in the intro you hear Linus scream in the background and in another Linus video you heard Riley scream in the background and I like to believe this is the same moment in time
i feel like half the commenters stating how SHOCKING these are to genuine airpods havent even watched the video in its entirety. practically all the quality of life features that the real airpods offer are completely broken on the fakes. youd be better off just buying normal wireless headphones for that price
We seldom do Sara & by no way you're the Sara of the video right?!
