Original or fake?

[Jonatan]

How can I know if my Samsung Buds 3 are Original or Fake? 

Where can I enter the serial number of my hearing aids to check it?

Why do you suspect they are fake?

[Mogay]

easy, install galaxy wearable on your phone then check buds 3 software update, if you can check the software or even there's a new software update from galaxy wearable then it's original

Why would you think they are fake? Unless you bought them off eBay or from a street corner vendor one would have no reason to suspect they were anything other than genuine.  Are they not connecting to the wear app?

[Jonatan]

I bought them on eBay. But after UI 8, the headphones no longer connect through Wearable. Now, I connect through the phone's settings, and I set them up through Bluetooth. In my favor, I see that they connected well. The 3D image appears when I open the lid. They were updated yesterday. I turn on the 3D sound and they work. When connected, it's SM-R530. Now, I would like to verify it by its numbers. Or is it not necessary? Is what I mentioned sufficient?

[realaud]

It is my understanding that with the new update, the Wear app no longer shows the ear buds. I believe it only shows the watches and the ring. They connect either through their own app or the normal BT pairing process.  If they initially showed in the Wear app, they are genuine.

[Jonatan]

No, they've answered me. I still have a question... is there a way to enter the numbers somewhere on Samsung and see if they're original?

[realaud]

I do not know.  I imagine if you are able to register them in your Samsung account, they would be considered genuine.  Why do you suspect they may be counterfeit?  What do you mean by "original", do you mean "new"?

[Jonatan]

The fake vs. the originals are good-looking. And I want to confirm that they are 100% genuine. How can I register it in my Samsung account?

[realaud]

Go to your Samsung account and look for the registration page, then enter the serial number and any other information  it asks for.  If you go to your page and see they are already registered (as happens sometimes with smart things compatible devices), then they are genuine. If you are able to complete the registration, they are genuine.  Are you saying your buds are not good looking?  I personally don't think any buds are good looking.

On the phone, you can go to settings tap your Samsung account and scroll down to look for devices.  If you see the buds listed in your device list, they are genuine.  If you see them in the "find" app (either Google or Samsung find), they are genuine.  Paranoid people should not buy devices off eBay.
