      My thoughts exactly. Unless it actually scratches products, rather than cleaning them, the $3 cloth is the only thing I'd buy, and better value than Apple's $19 cloth.
      In fact, I'd be better off buying Ifixit's cleaning cloths compared to the Apple ones!

    Given the ever increasing RRP of Apple's wares, I have been tempted to look out for some of their recent products on the 2nd hand market - particularly Airpods / etc.
    The ear-wax factor alone is pretty off-putting once you start investigating... but the amount of fakes on eBay ultimately just makes the idea seem fraught with the likelihood of ending up with non-Apple garbage.
    So thanks for answering the other question - should I just go for some non-Apple knock off.
    And the answer is no.

    For the AirPods Max, at least here in the US, I believe they're still wrapped in plastic. It's just the new models of things that have moved to the paper tabs. Could be that they're moving inventory that was already wrapped, or the factory for them hasn't been changed away from shrinkwrap.

    I have been using the "AAA" Airpods Pro for some months now, my cousin gave it to me bc the right one stopped working... Just want to add that overall are not that bad, the iPhone recognises it as a genuine airpod so is cool, and the sound quality is acceptable, the gain is crazy tho, I have to use it with the minimum level of volume and sometimes it is too much for my ear haha
    also the microphone is terrible, people can barely understand when I pick up calls with those, so those fake airpods are just fine if you didn't pay a cent for it but otherwise is not worth anything, if your budget is kinda low but you appreciate quality make the effort for some Sony

    • @fred-youtube
      @fred-youtube Před 10 měsíci

      It's not the codec or anything that's the problem, it's the tuning, which is how emphasised certain frequencies are, bass focused headphones boost low frequencies heavily, hearing aids boost high frequencies heavily, etc, these headphones have the low frequencies boosted beyond the point of insanity, causing the distortion even at the lowest volume level, if they turned the low frequencies down, they could be decent.

    It would be great if you could purchase and review some of the units that are commonly sought after in replica groups. My daily driver are some knockoff Airpod Pros from Jenny, and they're surprisingly accurate besides some iffy 3D sound and not quite up to par noise cancellation, at around $50 USD before shipping.

      I have those too! However they don't support force touch like the originals. It's just tap which is annoying since it summons the assistant each time I put them on
