Quick verdict

A budget AirPods Pro-style in-ear set listed with Bluetooth 5.3, dual-phone pairing and a digital display case. The public record here covers this clone class generally, not this seller's unit, so treat chip, battery and fit specs as unconfirmed. Confirm the gray-or-white variant and the chip before ordering, and check smell and charging on arrival.

Pros

· Listing states Bluetooth 5.3, a 10 m transmission range and in-ear stereo sound.
· Listing says it can stay connected to two phones at once.
· A digital display case, life-level water resistance and a stated 12-month warranty period are listed features.

Cons

· Teardown of this clone class found missing MEMS microphones, silicone tips glued to the housing and copper wire instead of flex cables — evidence about the build type, not this seller's unit.
· Buyers in this clone class report the in-ear shell fits worse than genuine AirPods Pro and causes soreness over a full day.
· A strong chemical smell from the case or earbuds has been reported in this class, sometimes on unboxing.
· Durability pattern reported for these clones: roughly a month of use before one earbud goes silent or the case stops accepting charge.
· Chip-authenticity risk: units advertised with Loda (Airoha) chips have been found to contain cheaper Jieli/Zhongke chips, hard to verify without disassembly.
· The listing's own 0-4 hour battery figure sits at the low end of the 2-8 hour range reported for these clones.
· Class-level reports describe audio stutter and earbuds that will not connect until reset.
· The listing is internally inconsistent on color: the title says gray while the base description specifies white with black mesh.

Fit notes

In-ear design. Under 60 words: the listing does not state which tip sizes are included, and no measurements are given. Class-level buyer reports describe the clone shell pressing against the ear and becoming uncomfortable during long wear, so comfort is a try-it-and-see matter rather than something the specs settle.

Buy if

You want an inexpensive in-ear Bluetooth set for casual music, calls and switching between two phones, and you are willing to confirm the color variant and the chip details with the seller before ordering.

Skip if

You need verified active noise cancellation, all-day comfort or predictable long-term battery life. Class-level reports on these clones describe ear soreness, case charging failures within months and inflated battery numbers; none of that is item-specific, but if those risks matter to you, skip it.

Buying FAQ

Common questions

Does this have real active noise cancellation?⌄

The listing does not advertise active noise cancellation. Public teardowns of this clone style found missing MEMS microphones, so real ANC is not something this build class has been shown to deliver.

Is this an Apple-branded product?⌄

The listing's own brand field reads zx, not Apple, so it is a third-party AirPods Pro-style earbud rather than an Apple product.

Which color will arrive?⌄

The listing contradicts itself: the title says gray, the base description says white with black mesh. Confirm the exact variant with the seller before ordering.

Which chip is actually inside?⌄

The spec states Loda (Airoha). Buyers of this class report units advertised with Loda chips that contained cheaper Jieli/Zhongke chips, and the substitution was only confirmed after disassembly or a detection app.

What battery life should I expect?⌄

The listing states 0-4 hours per charge, which sits at the low end of the 2-8 hour range reported for these clones; reviewers say low-end sellers inflate their figures.

What should I check when it arrives?⌄

Check for a chemical smell from the case or earbuds, confirm both earbuds charge and connect, and keep an eye on connection stability, since these are the failure points reported for this class.

Evidence

Public notes used

color · mixed · 60% confidence

The listing itself is internally inconsistent on color: the title describes gray earbuds while the base description specifies a white finish with black mesh, so the actual color variant should be confirmed with the seller before ordering.

Source

durability · con · 57% confidence

Line-level durability pattern for Huaqiangbei AirPods Pro clones: buyers report the units are usable for roughly the first month and then degrade, with accounts of one earbud failing to sound, the charging case no longer accepting charge, and instability worsening over time.

Source

other · con · 65% confidence

Chip-authenticity risk for this class of product: buyers report that earbuds advertised as using Loda/Airoha (洛达, as this listing's spec states) often actually contain cheaper Jieli/Zhongke chips, with one buyer confirming the substitution only after disassembly. Buyers have no easy way to verify the chip without opening the earbuds or running a detection app.

other · mixed · 62% confidence

Reported single-charge battery life for Huaqiangbei AirPods Pro clones varies widely by chip and battery variant — roughly 2-3 hours on older/low-end versions and 4-8 hours on pricier versions with steel-can button cells — and reviewers say low-end sellers inflate the numbers. The listing's own 0-4 hour figure sits at the low end of this range.

Source

quality · con · 75% confidence

Independent teardown of Huaqiangbei AirPods Pro-style fakes found missing MEMS microphones (so active noise cancellation is not real), silicone tips glued to the earbud so the front housing comes off with the tip, copper wire instead of flex cables, and a battery inside the case with no brand marking. Line-level evidence about this clone class/build type.

Source

quality · mixed · 58% confidence

Sound quality on top-configuration Huaqiangbei AirPods Pro clones is polarizing in public reviews: some buyers call it close to genuine for pop music and calls (about 70-80% of the original experience), while others describe it as flat, muddy, with booming bass and poor instrument separation. Line-level, configuration-dependent evidence.

Source

quality · con · 55% confidence

Owner reports of Huaqiangbei AirPods Pro clones describe intermittent audio stutter, an earbud that fails to connect until it is reset or returned to the case, and connection instability; reviewers attribute this to the paired-primary Bluetooth design used in the clones rather than Apple's architecture.

Source

sizing · con · 62% confidence

Line-level evidence for Huaqiangbei (Shenzhen clone) AirPods Pro-style earbuds: buyers who own both the clone and genuine AirPods Pro report the clone's in-ear fit is clearly worse and causes ear soreness when worn all day. This is evidence about the clone class/construction type, not about this specific Weidian seller's unit.
