I have been opening Avito for several days now – slowly looking for another HomePod mini. I look at everything from Apple technology that others return. For example, the 2022 AirPods Pro (here’s our review).
As everyone knows, looking for “pods” on Avito and from murky Internet sellers is equal to a guarantee of running into a fake. The ratio of original Apple headphones to the “leftist” sold in ads is good, if at 20:1.
AirPods Pro 2nd generation generation ago, and at first it seems to me that it is impossible to find their fake in Moscow, and therefore buying the original on Avito is quite realistic.
It turned out that he was wrong. Let’s go through the ads. For understanding, real AirPods Pro 2022 models are now in Moscow from 15 to 20 thousand rubles.
Fake 1. Price 15,990 rubles
Absolutely “left” AirPods Pro. The appearance of the case does not immediately give out a Chinese fake. But the box and the kit are definitely “left”.
Uneven lining, rough insert, and, most importantly, the wrong (like all fakes) disposable USB-C to Lightning cable wrap.
Headphones are new, all functions work perfectly! Original
Serial number: RQWC36G3Y1 Urgently need possible money Bargaining !
“Original”. Yes Yes.
Remember, friends: the serial number in AirPods definitely does not mean anything and cannot be proof of originality. It makes sense to check it only when everything else in the headphones you buy is beyond doubt.
Fake 2. Price 9000 rubles
The price already hints that you are dealing with a fake. But a lot of people still believe in miracles and sudden gains, so I’m sure these ads are in demand.
AirPods Pro 2 generation original
The photographs are already reflected mine, I sell new ones that are not reflected.
Alas, the photos again show a 100% fake box with crooked liners. Disposable cardboard bundles were previously removed from the cable – to this day, an excellent fake marker.
Finally, the photos in the announcement of a suspicious quality reduction, strong video tracking. perhaps because these photos roam from account to account and at some point visited Telegram or another messenger that “shrugged” the pictures.
I know that many will not believe me, so I was not too lazy and went into the reviews for the seller. Additional comments are unnecessary.
Since the sale did not go through, this review is not visible on the profile and was not seen on the next five-star review. Someone will definitely follow.
Fake 3. Price 12,000 rubles
And again fake. Again, crooked disposable “harnesses” on the cable. The cover is prudently put on so that there is more confidence – they say, apparently, the person used it, even bought the cover, but changed his mind.
Cool story next, but alas, this is a Chinese fake for almost the price of new ones:
New original Apple AirPods Pro 2 headphones
Activated October 5, under warranty until October 5, 2023
Bought a couple of weeks ago, the collection was a few days old, the condition is all new, you can see in the photo
Work perfect, noise canceling and breathing work super
Also in the new version, you can customize your personal audio based on your ear shape.
Full set, charging cable and ear pads are also new! All small films are also included, I will also give a protective cover from the first generation of firmware, which also closes perfectly
Write, I’ll tell you everything and tell you
Someone was already led, but, apparently, at the last moment he caught himself.
12 rubles for a fake, the red price of which is a thousand rubles maximum.
How are customers from fakes?
Take only in trusted stores. We had a lot of detailed instructions for using AirPods, rolled up with them and tagged everything at once:
■ The most accurate way to distinguish fake AirPods from genuine ones
■ What is the difference between a copy of AirPods and an original
■ AirPods Pro purchase overview
And if there is a risk and buy from hand, before the meeting, demand fresh photos of the kit to save time. Almost all headphones in Russia are common among non-buyable ones (like no other Apple technology). If the seller refuses to strain and take photos against the background of current statistics and time, feel free to defend something else.
