Before deciding on the purchase of Samsung Galaxy Buds earphones, it is important to examine the following points to verify their authenticity:
These points will allow you to identify the differences between the original Samsung Buds and the fake ones.
If you want to be reassured that you are getting an authentic version of the Samsung Galaxy Buds headphones, buy them online at Samsung, Microsoft, Verizon, Best Buy, Walmart. Also look for them in Samsung stores or authorized outlets.
On the other hand, if you buy them from street vendors, eBay, Amazon, Craiglist, Alibaba, Facebook Marketplace, Walmart Marketplace, and other e-commerce platforms, there is a risk of being scammed. Scammers take advantage of the fact that these sites usually drop heavily on high-value products to go unnoticed.
Knowing how to detect fraudulent advertisements when it comes to making an online purchase is essential. The most important points to consider are:
Generally, the manufacturers of counterfeit products do not always manage to reproduce the packaging exactly as the originals. Regarding the pro buds you will notice differences in the logo, colors, sizes or fonts, alignment. The image below illustrates our point well.
If we look at the hang tag for example, the Samsung logo appears on the original unlike the fake; on the seal of the real buds pro it is written “clear receipt” while for the fake one reads “dear receipt”;
The original Samsung Buds case uses a lighter and brighter font unlike the fake which uses a darker font.
Real Galaxy Buds and Android devices pair immediately when taken out of the case because their software is fully compatible with Androids. On the other hand, for the fake Galaxy Buds, you will have to associate them via Bluetooth While a woman’s voice guides you during the pairing. While for genuine Samsung Galaxy you will only hear a sound at the end of the pairing.
Genuine Galaxy Buds Pro can be connected to the Samsung Galaxy Wearable app. If the headphones manage to update and connect to the app, they’re probably genuine.
If a scammer sold you Samsung Galaxy buds Pro, the refund possibilities depend on the platform on which you made the purchase: on sites like Wish, Walmart Marketplace, Amazon, eBay you can contact their customer services to request your refund. On the other hand, on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist there is no possibility of refund.
