On September 14, the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) recently released a message that a batch of 2000 "counterfeit AirPods" shipped from Hong Kong were seized at Kennedy International Airport on August 31. These earphones will be sent to Nevada, and said that if these earphones were genuine, the total price would reach 398000 US dollars.
You may think that this is just an ordinary case of customs seizing fake and inferior products. CBP has also seized many cases of similar products before. However, according to the pictures provided by CBP officials, this is not "fake AirPods" at all, but OnePlus Buds released a while ago. Because the appearance of the white version is similar to that of AirPods, and perhaps the customs officers have not heard of the brand of OnePlus, this has caused a black dragon.
Interestingly, the official Twitter account "OnePlus USA" of Yijia America left a message "Hey, give those back.
One thing to say, however, is that the white OnePlus Buds does not have a big gap with AirPods in terms of appearance recognition. In addition, the semi in ear true wireless earphones produced by several domestic mobile phone manufacturers are more or less meant to imitate AirPods, which also reminds domestic manufacturers of the importance of making identification in appearance design rather than blindly following up on imitation.
