What I said about spaghetti also goes for 'branded' electronics...

 Apple AirPods Pro 2 sound slightly (almost un-noticably) fuller, slightly more balanced, and are designed similarly to the  counterfeit ones.

Both are equally comfortable, but the fakes offer slightly better stability thanks to the different silicone used for ear tips.

Genuine AirPods Pro 2 have 6 hours of battery compared to 5+/- hours in the fakes.

AirPods Pro 2 clones lack features like Adaptive Audio (Conversation Awareness and Loud Noise Reduction - neither of which you really need) and head-tracking Spatial Audio (whatever the fuck that is). They’re both suitable enough at call quality.

Both passively reduce a similar amount of noise. In contrast, the original AirPods Pro 2 actively cancel noise more evenly and with slightly greater efficacy. Transparency mode is also far more natural on the originals. Fake and original AirPods Pro 2 have an indoor Bluetooth range of 35 feet.

Point being, if you're audio snob, you probably woudn't use them anyway. If they're for your ocassional use - or more so if they're gonna be gifted to a young kid - the knock offs should be just fine. 

Bottom line? Everything stamped with an Apple logo is grossly over-priced. Wanna pay a premium for someone else's prestige? Go for it. Juss' sayin'...

Another great idea for a Christmas gift or stocking stuffer.
