How Can You Tell a Fake Sony WF-1000XM4?
For every good quality product, there are usually two or more fake ones that imitate the product in a way that telling the real one apart gets difficult. Mentioned below are some steps to help you figure out whether the product you’re buying is the real deal:
- Check to See if the Dealer is Authorised
You can visit the official website of Sony to make sure that the seller you are buying from is an authorised dealer listed on their website.
We would never recommend buying from an unauthorised dealer, no matter how good a price they offer you. Most people selling things at ‘unbelievably low’ prices are doing so because their product is a counterfeit.
- Warranty Sticker
Original Samsung headphones will come with a 1 year warranty sticker on its packaging. That is one thing that is missing from most fake headphone packaging.
- Examine the Packaging
If you can have physical access to the product before you buy it, check the packaging of the headphones. Checking if the packaging has been messed with is perhaps the easiest way to figure out if a product is original or not.
People selling copies of original things are sometimes careful enough to use the packaging of original products and put in the fake product inside. It is not necessary for this to be true for every product, yet if the plastic wrapping on the cover of your headphones is too wrinkled or loose, it has probably been messed with and the product is fake.
