Introducing… the most elegant, technologically-advanced, and expensive Bluetooth earbuds ever created.

The latest AirPods are so lit that they’ll make you think you’re at a disco.
No, literally, they will light up.
Apple Fan: Wow, Apple never fails to amaze me with its innovations. Those lights, even though they add absolutely nothing to my audio experience, is worth at least a $300 bump up in price. They really are geniu-
It’s actually fake.

Carousell Seller Sold ‘Real’ AirPods Pro & It’s So Fake, It Lights Up Like a Disco
A disgruntled customer has taken to Facebook to complain about a Carousell seller who sold him fake AirPods despite claiming they were authentic.
Facebook user Leo Leo shared his bad buyer experience in a post on Wednesday (4 June).
The customer claims he purchased the pair of AirPods for $310 from a “stupid scammer” on Carousell, and posted screenshots of their conversation to prove it.
As you can see, Leo asked the seller if the AirPods were authentic before buying it. At that point, the seller had two options:
- Confess that they were actually fake and save Leo’s money and his own ass
- Risk fines, jail time, and the hatred of many netizens just to earn $310.
The seller went for option 2.

When Leo received his AirPods, however, he noticed something a little strange.
They were… lighting up.
These sellers really went overboard with the whole “fake” thing here, didn’t they?
Seller Blocked His Number
When Leo contacted the seller on Carousell, the seller did what any innocent person would do and blocked his number after a few dumb responses.
Sending a picture of your own AirPods to prove that the pair you sold to your customer is real makes about as much sense as a pair of real AirPods lighting up.
The seller than blocked his number, and Leo contacted her on WhatsApp.
According to Leo, the serial number of his fake AirPods is listed on Apple Support, and the sound works as well, but they light up whenever he does a hard reset.
The frustrated customer has made a police report and claimed that the AirPods have been “seized” by the police.
Leo’s post has garnered over 2,400 shares at the time of writing.
Netizen Reaction
Some netizens couldn’t help but laugh at Leo’s earbud predicament.
Others said that he should have been more careful with online purchases, especially on Carousell.
Carousell might be a great place to buy things when you want McDonald’s burgers or cups of bubble tea during a nationwide closure, but expensive electronics are an entirely different thing altogether.
As netizens pointed out, since Leo was willing to pay an exorbitant price for the fake AirPods, he could have shelled out a little more and bought authentic ones from the Apple store instead.
Leo’s disco-earbuds experience shows that we should be wary of online sellers, especially when we’re buying expensive products.
If we’re not careful, we might just end up with a pair of AirPods that light up.
Apple Fan: I actually think it looks good.
Of course, you do.
