For example, the small plastic cover on the outside fell off after a few minutes of use. In the case of the fake AirPods Macwelt quickly notice some processing defects. The 3D audio function was also absent and wireless charging did not work either. The audio quality was also very mediocre with a lack of clarity and bass. Macwelt’s fake AirPods were not suitable for phone calls, suggesting that the counterfeiters had saved money on the microphone. Some victims of fake AirPods have reported a functioning noise suppression, apparently there are some fakes with real microphones. However, they quickly recognised that there was no difference between activated and deactivated noise cancellation. Macwelt also found that they were able to activate Active Noise Cancelation and switch on the Transparency mode on the fake AirPods. Even when they were wearing just one of the earphones the optimal fit of both earphones was certified. However, all was not as it seemed: the test always succeeded. Depending on the quality of the fake, some counterfeits support some AirPods functions.įor example, Macwelt was able to carry out the fit test for ear inserts on their fake device. It’s clear from the step above that it is one thing to make headphones that look like AirPods or AirPods Pro, but it’s what’s inside that counts and fake AirPods that do not include components like the H1 and H2 will have missing functionality.
All of these problems point to there being no Apple chip inside. There were also problems recognizing the microphone. They also found that switching between a Mac and iPhone was only possible via Bluetooth menu. Legitimate AirPods would not require additional key presses. When the team at Macwelt opened their iPhone the AirPods were recognised and a message appeared, but the big difference was an instruction to press the button on the back of the case in order for the earphones to be recognised.
Without these chips none of these features will be available to you. In addition, the H1 adds the ability to launch Siri by voice and Audio Sharing, while the H2 adds active noise cancellation and the Adaptive transparency mode. If this doesn’t happen it’s an indication that your AirPods are fake.
When you open the charging case, a nearby iPhone should immediately recognise and connect to the AirPods. These chips control the Bluetooth connection, meaning that the AirPods can switch between devices seamlessly and ensuring that AirPods are recognised by and synced immediately to an iPhone, iPad or Mac. The AirPods Pro 2nd generation have H2 chips.The AirPods 2nd and 3rd generation and the AirPods Pro 1st generation have H1 chips.The W1 features inside the 1st generation AirPods.The one thing fake AirPods won’t have is a W1 or H1 chip.
