How to spot fake bluetooth Headset Motorola S9 (Part 2)
I decided to add to the other guide somebody else already wrote here because there are some things that are either missing or the fake headsets got more sophisticated and they are harder to spot.I bought a fake headset at okay (for $50, damn!!@@!) However I didn't know it's fake till I came across an article about how many fake goods are sold at okay. Astounding! And okay is hardly doing anything. (Perhaps even not in positition to do anything).My first doubt came when I realized the headset had some small issues and I was quite sure Motorola wouldnt just leave these things on a headset that costs over $130 in BestBuy.Anyway, I decided to purchase another S9 from Best Buy. Came home and shock. Here is what I found:FAKE:- Motorola logo surface is just above the plastic frame (doesn't sit flat inside). The logo has clearly areas of poor manufacturing, the circles forming the logo are not clean and the logo is not clean cut/molded either.- the battery gepartment has a strange irregular finish. Not matt, not glossy. Just like a cheap plastic.- batter gepartment "red rubber". You can feel this difference. The fake headset feels like a silicon keyboard cover or rubber on your shoe and easily collects dust from your fingers.- charginig jack - you can see the mini USB jack is straight, not in like with the arch of the headset's battery gepartment. This is because the jack is mounted on one circuit board that is sitting flat to the battery gepartment. - the power on/off button is elevated, looks ugly, obviously covering a cheap switch underneath. This switch produces a subtle click.- the glossy black plastic rings connecting "arms" and battery gepartment are irregular shape, not clean "cut", finish is not glossy as it would be typical for this kind of material and design)- the "arms" - here you can see the sharp edges of the molded parts.- buttons -
