The AirPods Face-Off: A Blindfield Test

We're about to put two pairs of headphones to the test, but with a twist - one of them is fake. Our friends Adam and Samuel will be participating in this blind field test to see which pair sounds better. The real deal comes with a hefty price tag of $250, while the fake ones cost a mere $30.

First up, we have the AirPods Pro, a popular wireless earbuds designed by Apple. They come with a sleek charging case and offer advanced noise cancellation features. Let's try out the fake pair, shall we? Open the case, and click the button to activate them. Whoa, that is insane! Okay, wait, I want to see something. Ah, yes! The menu is packed with all sorts of settings and options. It has all this stuff. All right, Adam's gonna be helping us out today. He's gonna be blindfolding himself to try and guess which one is the fake. This is my friend Adam; he's gonna be helping us out.

Take your time, Adam. Just get a feel for what you're doing. Give me the field test, and see which one you think is fake. Okay, can I hold one at a time? Yeah, it feels pretty real. It feels like they feel light-ish, plasticky, with a nice click. The case does not sound as good as the AirPods Pro, though. What was that sound? That's nice! Based on what you've seen right now, what do you think between the two pairs?

Okay, now you're gonna just do it - we're gonna do an audio test. Put them in your ears and give them a try again. Oh no! Okay, okay, you get the gist of it. Now, which one sounds better? These are the real ones; put those in your ears and give them a try. All right, go ahead, listen to "Bass" by what was that - Bass. What wasn't that? Which one sounded better?

This one was cleaner, so it's the fake. The thing is, I have my name on these no way bro. You're messing with me, like actually yeah. Oh tell me, these bro. Okay, now I got my friend Samuel here; he's gonna be trying out the two pairs - the real and the fake. Yes, to guess which one is the real and the fake. He's gonna be blind so you can't tell.

Let me open them up this one feels heavier. Normally, heavier means better quality, but I would assume this one's the real one. Let me open them; it's nicer. This one sounds like a bit of a fake. Can I take them out? Yeah, you can take them out don't put them in your ears yet all right? Take these ones out, and let's do an audio test. Don't put them in your ears yet.

Take off your mic; your blindfold. There we go! So now, we're gonna start with the fake okay all right The Fakes. All right put those in your ears and give them a try. Hey it's crazy so call me maybe these are the fakes just Dive Right In. Just dive right in all right, don't know I the audio wasn't too good in that one; it didn't feel that good. Okay I'll try the real ones were these the ones I said were the real ones before.

Oh okay all right instantly this feels better yeah the noise in that one is way better. Yeah okay yeah so what's your honest feedback these ones that I just had these are definitely like they sound way better like they I think this one was the one that was on my left hand and feels nicer as well. So yeah this one was I don't know is this the fake one or that's the real one.

These are the real ones okay yeah this one felt way better these are the fake ones wait for you wait which one wait which one's the fake one bro the fake one is the one that doesn't have my name on it thank you so much for your feedback.
