So, I definitely got ripped off and got a fake pair of Galaxy Buds Live. The only true reason I know, is that I went to Walmart and dropped the money for a brand new, in store set. A little back story: These earbuds were marketed and sold under the Samsung branding, look and everything. I mean, it's so good of a fake, it connects to galaxy wearable, but is not functional on there. I'm curious samsung, what do you do with people who are infringing on your patent AND using your name and branding to sell fake products?

These buds are actually international we just ran into a similar issue with that exact model number. Our system identified the serial number as a model is a Korean model. The customer we had bought theirs at a Target they said. If you need the US version repaired please reach out to 1800Samsung and they can help you get these fixed or repaired. If you need assistance with an international model, you will need to use this link to locate support for the country of origin. https://www.samsung.com/us/common/visitlocationsite.html

Where did you exactly buy the fake ones? Could you provide a model number as well?

Wish, actually, with 100% authentic Samsung branding and claiming to be refurbished galaxy buds live, and I already know what I should have expected, but it is model number SM-R180NZNAXXV. With seriel number, it actually comes up as a phone instead of buds.

I have the packaging, which has a Samsung "DO NOT ACCEPT" sticker on one seal of the box.

@Simon31392  Yes, be very careful buying items off of wish. They do sell knockoffs Samsung and even Apple products. Try getting your refund with wish. In the meantime I have tagged a moderator and you should hear back shortly

honestly, wish gave me the runaround in trying to give me any sort of acknowledgment of them being fake branded and all, and it's depressing that these are sold IN AMERICA as branded but fake and able to get away with it. these were sent to me from a seller right here in the US. I'm not concerned with a refund from Wish because cost wasn't important, branding was.
