How to Spot Fake Sony WF-1000XM5 Earbuds

Here are some more comparison shots with the real model. The back of the box has a much larger Original Blended Material logo. Surprisingly the little tray inside for the tips and USB cable was similar in design to the real one. Although in my fake, the tray was not at the bottom where it should be, but in the middle, placed on top of the little booklet box. The booklet box on my fake was all mangled up and squished. It is also not glued correctly.

Here are some additional shots of the fake from the various retail listings (source Aliexpress).
