Quick verdict

These are Jieli-chip earbuds built on a public AirPods Pro mold, not Apple hardware, and buyer-side teardown reporting on that chip class describes its ANC as effectively cosmetic. Buy them as a shell that fits AirPods Pro tips and cases, not as noise-cancelling earbuds. Confirm the fit and the variant you actually receive.

Pros

· Public 1:1 AirPods Pro mold: buyers of these copies report third-party AirPods Pro cases and ear tips fit, and a hands-on review found tips interchangeable even on a very cheap unit.
· Listing states Bluetooth 5.4, 10 m range, wireless charging and a 12-month warranty, with four variant tiers offering sliding volume or in-ear detection.

Cons

· Jieli-chip Pro clones: buyer/teardown discussion reports ANC is effectively cosmetic — switching noise cancelling on and off makes no audible difference.
· Same chip class: oversensitive touch controls, no touch volume adjustment, no OTA firmware updates and no seamless dual-device switching, matching the listing's statement that two phones cannot connect at once.
· Jieli is described in clone-market guides as the lowest-tier chip option, with higher failure and after-sales rates, weaker connection stability, muffled sound and delayed, unclear microphone audio.
· Low-end Jieli 'gen 7' builds are reported at roughly 3–4 hours per charge with high latency and frequent disconnects, so the listed 4–8 hours likely reflects a top variant rather than entry ones.
· Clone-market reporting: battery percentage readings jump and are inaccurate, clone batteries typically last around 1–1.5 years, and fast charging is unsupported and can damage the earbuds.
· Marketplace reviews of Pro counterfeits report early hardware failure, one bud stopping charging, random disconnects and flimsy case lids.
· A buyer comparing several Huaqiangbei Pro units against a genuine pair reported noticeably worse fit and ear ache with all-day wear.
· Hiss when ANC or transparency is engaged is reported as more noticeable on Jieli-class units than on higher-tier chips.
· Teardown studies found Jieli-class fakes pair like real AirPods and pass the Ear Tip Fit Test, so those checks do not confirm working ANC.

Fit notes

These use a public 1:1 AirPods Pro mold, so AirPods Pro ear tips and cases are reported to fit and wearing feel is similar to the original, though shell material and color vary by batch. One buyer comparison reported clones fit worse and caused ear ache over a full day. Note the listing also calls the wearing mode ear-clip, which does not match a Pro-style shell — confirm which you will receive.

Buy if

You want an AirPods Pro–shaped shell that third-party tips and cases reportedly fit, at a low outlay, and you accept that the listed ANC, battery and multipoint behaviour are unverified for this item.

Skip if

You need real noise cancelling, seamless switching between two devices, OTA firmware updates, or all-day comfort — buyer reporting on Jieli-class Pro clones describes none of these as working.

Buying FAQ

Common questions

Is the noise cancelling actually functional?⌄

Buyer and teardown reporting on Jieli-chip Pro clones says toggling ANC makes no audible difference, and the chip class is rated 0 for noise cancelling. No independent test of this specific listing exists.

Do these work with an iPhone, and will the Ear Tip Fit Test pass?⌄

Teardown work on Jieli-class fakes found they pair with Apple devices exactly like real AirPods and pass the Ear Tip Fit Test while providing no real ANC or true spatial audio, so neither check tells you whether the noise cancelling works.

How long does the battery last, and can I fast charge them?⌄

The listing states 4–8 hours, but clone-market reporting puts entry Jieli builds at about 3–4 hours per charge, says clone batteries typically last 1–1.5 years, and warns that fast charging is unsupported and can shorten battery life.

Can I connect two phones at the same time?⌄

The listing says two phones cannot be connected simultaneously, and reporting on Jieli-class clones describes no seamless one-to-two switching and no OTA firmware updates.

Will my AirPods Pro tips and case fit?⌄

Buyers of these 1:1 mold copies report third-party AirPods Pro tips and cases fit, and one hands-on review found tips interchangeable with genuine ones even on a cheap unit. Color and shell material can vary between batches.

Which chip is inside?⌄

The listing specifies Jieli . Clone-market guides describe Jieli as the lowest-tier chip option, with the ANC, control and battery limitations noted above.

Evidence

Public notes used

durability · con · 60% confidence

Independent teardown reporting on counterfeit AirPods Pro units found advertised noise cancellation could not work because no MEMS microphones were present, and advertised sensors (e.g. heart-rate) were absent — i.e. spec sheets on this class of product are frequently inflated.

durability · con · 58% confidence

Low-end Jieli-generation Pro clones (referred to as 'gen 7') are reported to run only about 3–4 hours per charge with high latency, muffled sound and frequent disconnects, versus 5–8 hours for higher-tier clone builds, so the listed 4–8 hour playtime likely reflects the top variant rather than entry variants.

Clone-market buyers are warned that battery percentage readings jump and are inaccurate, that clone batteries typically last only around 1–1.5 years, and that fast charging is not supported and can shorten battery life or destroy the earbuds.

durability · con · 62% confidence

Marketplace reviews of AirPods Pro counterfeits repeatedly report early hardware failure and poor build: one earbud stopped charging within weeks, buds disconnect randomly, the case lid is flimsy and moves, and noise cancellation/transparency do not work.

Verification gimmicks should not be trusted: a teardown study of fake AirPods (low-cost SoC of JIELI/BP08576 class) found they pair with Apple devices exactly like real AirPods, pass the Ear Tip Fit Test and support basic touch control, yet provide no real ANC or true spatial audio.

quality · con · 75% confidence

Buyer/teardown discussion of Jieli (杰理) chip Pro-style clones — the chip type this listing specifies — reports that ANC is effectively cosmetic: turning noise cancelling on and off makes no audible difference and the rating given is '0' for noise cancelling.

quality · con · 70% confidence

The same Jieli-based Pro clones use very sensitive touch controls that trigger accidentally, do not allow touch volume adjustment, and do not support OTA firmware upgrades or seamless multipoint ('一拖二') switching — consistent with this listing stating dual-phone connection is not supported.

Jieli is described in clone-market guides as the lowest-tier chip option, with higher failure/after-sales rate, weaker connection stability, poor materials and muffled sound; its microphone audio in voice messages is reported as noticeably delayed and unclear.
