- Hey guys, this is Austin
and welcome back to another edition of Wish Mystery Tech,
this time featuring 100% more Amazon.
So today, every item that I pick on Wish,
we need to find an equivalent version on Amazon,
and see just exactly how good or bad the deal is.
Consumers, prepare to be advised.
I have a Sennhei IE 800 for $27 here.
Shall we take another spin at the roulette wheel?
- [Ken] Yes, original without box.
- [Austin] Original without box, okay, $32.
(humming) Man, there's a lot of censoring
we have to do on this one, dude.
So this is interesting.
So a pair of Nike React 270s.
- [Ken] Ooh!
- [Austin] You know what?
20 bucks, let's see if these are real shoes.
- [Ken] What's that look?
- [Austin] Elastic shirt garter.
That's a good idea, right?
- [Ken] I need a bunch of those in my life, yeah.
- I mean, obviously it's gonna be uncomfortable
and look really weird on your leg,
but to keep your shirt nicely from being untucked.
- [Ken] Well yeah, but like,
the five percent of your life
that you're going to be in front of someone.
- Yeah, yeah, no, that totally makes sense.
Whoa, five percent?
(Ken laughing) Five percent!
What's five percent?
What, Ken, what are you doing man?
Five percent's a lot.
Oh, an iPhone.
An iPhone 6s, unlocked, $140.
So yeah, these are definitely used.
So we can pick B grade or A grade.
I mean, let's just get the cheap one, right?
16 gig B grade?
Oh, what is this, an iPad?
Fourth gen.
- [Ken] That's not bad, right?
- For a hundred dollars?
Should we try to grab some fake, or sorry,
(clearing throat)
some refurbished Apple products from Wish?
I found an S10, an S10 Plus.
- How much? - $153.
Let's see the photos.
Oh wait, that actually looks like an S10.
(humming)
All right, let's buy ourselves the latest
six point five inch, dynamic AMOLED screen,
4G unlocked smart phone.
Okay, so with a grand total of $480 and $82 for shipping,
we have all the items we need for our Wish investigation.
See exactly just how real and how good of a deal
some of this stuff really is.
Hello my friends and welcome.
(dinosaur roaring)
You almost took me out with that one.
All right.
Okay, so these are the supposedly real
Sennheiser IE 800 headphones.
Now this is actually the entire reason why we did this video
was because we had originally taken a look
at another pair of these on a Wish Mystery Tech
a couple months ago.
And they were incredibly, incredibly authentic.
They came in the box, everything.
I thought we had bought this with the box.
This was supposed to come
in the original packaging, wasn't it?
Original without box.
The packaging straight up looks real.
I mean, it's even magnetic.
And then we have the headphones themselves.
So, again, just like the last ones,
these look very authentic.
However, I think to really, properly test,
well, we're gonna need a,
we need to do something a little painful I think.
And by painful I mean,
let's buy a real pair.
(woman screaming) (cash register ding)
So, these are the real deal.
Ken, how much did we pay for the real IE 800s?
- [Ken] Well, they would have been $700.
- $700.
- But, - But,
- [Ken] So, they offered us the IE 800 S,
which we turned down for the sake of accuracy.
They sent us these anyway,
which means they probably didn't have
the regular 800s in stock.
- We spent this much money on something,
which is now no longer useful for our comparison.
But I guess I'm gonna compare them anyway because (laughs)
- [Ken] We're gonna do a non-scientific comparison.
- So, we've got a very similar looking carrying case.
Like, I mean, straight up, this looks the same.
So they look very slightly different
and the texture of them are a little bit different
than the standard 800s.
So, I've actually heard rumors
that part of the reason that these headphones even exist
is because the original IE 800s
were so thoroughly counterfeited across the spectrum
that they were just like, let's just make a new pair.
So, they did this.
Oh, and just so you guys know,
I am using the standard rubber tips,
I'm not gonna use any of the comply foam or whatever
because that's standard across all these guys.
- [Matt] You should plug it in for him!
- Austin's like, "Oh, why don't I do the blindfold thing?"
Like last second. - I just put a blindfold on.
Look, sometimes in life,
you put a blindfold on first and ask questions later.
- [Computer Voice] Nut.
- Okay.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, can I switch headphones?
- Yes.
- What's going on with these things?
Like, I put this in my ear and it immediately rolls back.
Like whatever the deal is with these,
like I don't know if they're the knock-offs
or they're lower quality, but the tips just roll right back.
I've got a good sense of these, I think.
Let me try the next ones.
Oh, these tips feel different.
Actually, this is immediately a better seal.
Bass seems a little less harsh on these, perhaps.
Not a big difference.
It was a little bit more booming on the last ones.
Ah, it's not the best seal in the world,
but I think I can get away with that.
These sound just like the first ones.
Like, the bass is slightly overpowering
and the seal, also, they're a little bit better in this one,
but it's just not as good as the second one.
You know what?
To be fair, can we get the same comply tips
that came with the real ones and just put them on all?
I know it's gonna take a little bit of time,
but I actually wanna have a proper seal with all of these,
'cause I don't think it's a fair comparison right now.
So, my same thoughts from previous.
While I have a better seal now,
the bass is a little bit much on these.
It's tighter.
The main difference here is the bass feels tighter.
Both sound good, it's only when I was really cranking it up
that I could tell a difference between one and three,
which I'm pretty sure are the same, versus two.
But I'm gonna say that these are the S's
and the other two are both the knock-offs from Wish.
- [Ken] All right, so I've laid them all in order for you.
Just a reminder,
the orange ones were the first fake ones that we got,
the blue ones are the new fake ones that we got,
and the greens are the 800 S's.
- Okay, so I wanna see the green in the middle.
Otherwise I'm wrong.
(blows air)
Ah, I (beep) it up!
Aw, it's really bright. (groaning)
These, to me, sounded very similar.
And the fact that we actually paid $700 for these,
and we actually paid like $50 for these,
and I could hardly tell a difference, that's wild.
So, I don't know what we really proved here,
beyond the fact that--
- We're bad at scientific tests.
- Yes, and that we should probably've spend more time
and not done a single blind test, but um (clearing throat)
I guess, buy fake headphones on Wish?
- We are never getting that Sennheiser sponsorship ever.
(laughing)
- Ay!
These feel like fake shoes.
I believe these are the Nike Air React 270s?
Or no-- - Max.
- Max 270s.
How much were these?
- [Matt] $19 with $11 shipping.
- So 30 bucks.
Well, the first thing is (laughing)
the logo, that looks like a slightly different swoosh.
Look at the little thing on the top.
It also says fashion on them.
I don't think the originals say fashion.
(laughing)
It just says fashion on them. (laughing)
Let's put these aside for one second.
I have, if you will be so kind,
purchased a pair of real Air 270s at a grand total of $150.
(laughing) It's like Potato Gaming versus real gaming.
So you can see that it's got
like a Nike swoosh in roughly the same spot.
You've got one here, it says Air 270.
The text on the back is very different.
So this actually has the black sole,
which you can see looks really cheap and fake.
I mean, that's really the real key right here.
- [Ken] The main appeal of the Air Max 270s are the bubble
and that bubble's just not it.
- It has a bubble, no this is a real bubble.
- [Ken] No, no, but it's not the bubble.
- It's not the bubble, it is a bubble.
Um, I mean,
they don't feel like the worst thing.
It's a cheap shoe.
If you've ever worn a very cheap shoe,
like I grew up for
- What are those? - a lot of years wearing.
Then it's okay, I mean, the feel of it's not the big issue.
But the actual, legit Nike,
it definitely has a lot more flexibility.
I'm bubbling right now.
Wish, stop selling knock-off shoes.
These, they're just sad.
Oh, look, this nondescript white boxes
that totally don't have something illicit inside.
Oh, it's an iPhone!
- [Matt] (laughing) He pulled a Linus!
- So unlike the things that we've taken
a look at in the past,
in the past, I mean,
unlike the things that we took a look at two minutes ago,
this is supposedly a real iPhone.
I have no reason to doubt that.
But the main selling point here
is that this is a refurbished iPhone.
So, uh, okay,
it actually is in very good cosmetic shape.
There's some very minor, little scuffs by the camera,
but, there's like a tiny chip on the top,
I would say this is still in very good quality.
Yeah, there's a little bit of wear by the port.
Matt, how much was this iPhone 6s?
- [Matt] $135 plus $12 shipping.
- Wait, no, what?
This is just not a good deal.
Like straight up, without even turning it on,
assuming that it works fine,
which I would hope it is, it's dead, cool.
135 bucks is like,
basically what you could buy a newer iPhone 6s,
at least one from a more reputable retailer
than some random person on Wish.
Let's get this charging and look at the next thing.
So this is a fourth generation iPad.
So the first thing with anything used or refurbished,
I'm always looking at the quality.
A little bit of wear, some very minor scratches,
but again, I would actually say
that the quality is pretty solid.
Man, I forgot how like, chunky iPads used to be.
Like, this is like (patting), it's a thick boy.
- [Anthony] That's a thick boy!
- Let's see if we can get this guy to power up for us.
No (laughing), well, lucky for us,
they include the exact same accessories
of a Jun Jun USB cable
and the world's slowest USB charger for an iPad.
It'll be charged in about four hours.
Be right back.
(thud)
That was an unsatisfying thump.
(gasping) Oh, is this our fake Galaxy S10?
I'm very excited.
This is gonna be bad.
I can already tell, look at the box.
It just says smart phone.
(laughing)
(tranquil music)
That doesn't look real.
Well apparently it's a new 5G.
It has a questionable tattoo on it.
- [Ken] Is that a tramp stamp?
- I was about to say that, but I didn't wanna be offensive.
- [Ken] It's like the tramp stamp
on the back of the Porsche in "Cars".
- (laughing) How dare you talk (beep) about Sally like that?
So, may I first draw your attention
to the fact that you can see,
it looks like it's got the Infinity hole punch.
However, if you look a little bit higher,
you'll see a actual front-facing camera
in the bezel of the phone.
So, we just remove that illusion right here.
Oh, I just realized,
we look to have three cameras on the back
and they all look identical.
Aw, this is gonna be fun.
Welcome!
Oh look, it's our fake camera that's part of the (laughing).
I love this so much, it's so good!
I can't believe they actually, legitimately put that in.
(laughing)
So, putting the fake one side by side with the real one,
obviously the bezels are much larger here.
I can't get over the camera.
So on the S10, if I open up the camera--
- [Ken] It did the shining thing!
- Oh, it does it!
What, what?
Touchscreen fingerprint.
This is not about to work, is it?
Does this actually have a fingerprint sensor?
No, this is not a real thing.
There's no way they put a fake fingerprint sensor in.
Wait, is this just scanning my fingerprint data
and uploading it some nefarious--
- Yes! - Whatever, that's fine.
- Yes. - Swipe up to unlock.
Okay, so it wants the PIN.
If I don't wanna do the PIN,
(claps hands) no!
No way, no way, hold on, hold on.
If I do different finger.
(Ken laughing)
Okay, phew, that scared me for a second.
That is definitely not a real fingerprint sensor.
That is all a fake.
Now, looking around the phone,
they actually do look very similar, right?
So the camera bumps are pretty much in the same spot,
it doesn't have the Samsung logo,
but USB C, headphone jack, speaker,
the buttons are all on the same sort of position.
This is like a legit fake.
Should you buy it?
Absolutely not, whatsoever, like under no circumstances.
But I mean, they put some real work into this.
Like this looks and feels a lot like a Galaxy S10,
but (grunting)
So after a bit of charging and some set-up,
we have our iPad and iPhone fully functioning.
I can confirm, as far as I can tell,
they look completely legitimate.
They're just refurbished.
The downside though,
is that we paid a little over a hundred dollars for this,
including shipping.
And that's like, not really any cheaper
than what you'd get on something like eBay or Amazon.
And, if you want an old iPad, this is an old iPad.
It runs iOS 10, so it's definitely a little bit behind,
and apps are starting to not support this anymore.
The thing is like, the hardware actually doesn't feel bad.
I mean, like the way,
if you want to use this as an eReader or something,
like it actually feels pretty good in the hand.
The screen is actually just about as good
as the current base iPad.
But considering that this is a hundred dollars
and you could spend a little bit more
to get a much newer iPad, it's kind of a harder sell.
However, what I do think is a little bit of an easier sell,
is the iPhone 6s, because this is actually fully up to date.
Okay, let me clarify.
If I ran a software update
and didn't want to wait 30 minutes for it to install,
this is still fully supported on iOS 13.
What you're getting here
is the most powerful iPhone with a headphone jack.
This was the last of the breed.
You also get this wonderful pink color.
And the camera's pretty decent.
This is still a very usable phone here in 2019, 2020, 2021,
wherever you're watching this video at.
It's 2020 right now though. (clearing throat)
It's December 4th, 2019.
