If you bought these Redmi headphones, you might have a counterfeit copy. In China, a warehouse with fakes was found

Product faking is a big problem that still hasn’t been solved. Even Redmi is paying for it right now, because fake earbuds were found in two Chinese electronics warehouses. However, authenticity can be checked easily.

There are many shops and distributors who take advantage of the success of well-known products from certain brands to sell the product for a much lower price, but it’s just imitations. Most often, we’ve encountered fake Apple AirPods in the past.

Counterfeit versions of well-known Redmi headphones

Security agents in the city of Guangzhou in China uncovered two large electronics warehouses where a fairly large number of completely fake wireless headphones from Redmi were seized—stored in two big warehouses and ready for distribution and sale.

Most of the wireless headphones were Redmi Buds 3 Lite, which on the domestic Chinese market are sold under the name Redmi Buds 3 Youth Edition. 2 032 units were marked as fake, with packaging and features so close to the originals from Redmi that they’re almost indistinguishable.

Since Xiaomi is a global brand, it’s quite likely that some units may have made their way around the world too. If you noticed some malfunction or abnormal behavior on your headphones of this type, this could be closely related.

Našťastie existuje veľmi jednoduché overenie. Xiaomi ponúka na tejto webovej stránke ponúka niečo ako kontrolu originality produktu.

Je to veľmi jednoduché a aspoň budete mať istotu, že ste nepriamo nepodporili trh s neoriginálnymi produktami.
