One plus Buds true wireless headset was released on July 21st, 22, with a single battery life of 7 hours and a battery life of 3 hours with a charging box. Bluetooth 5., minimum delay of 13ms, support for call noise reduction, fast pairing, IPX4 waterproof.
foreign media TheVerge reported that in a statement to TheVerge, a spokesman for the US Customs and Border Protection defended the agency's detention of 2, pairs of OnePlusBuds at Kennedy Airport on August 31. Last night, CBP announced the action and described these OnePlusBuds as "fake Apple AirPods", which caused controversy.
It seems to be the fault of the border inspectors. They don't know why they didn't realize that they intercepted a genuine product, and OnePlus was even ridiculed because of the similarity between its headphones and AirPods.
but CBP's statement seems to rule out that this is a mistake. What remains unanswered is why OnePlusBuds have attracted such scrutiny when the market is full of imitations of AirPods-they have been on sale in the United States for several weeks. When you walk into Best Buy, Wal-Mart, or Amazon, they can be seen everywhere.
"CBP import experts have determined that these headphones seem to infringe Apple's configuration trademark after checking the relevant goods. Apple has configuration trademarks on its branded headphones and has recorded these trademarks with CBP, "the spokesman said. Configuration trademarks cover the general appearance of products, if you want to know. "Based on this judgment, CBP officials at Kennedy Airport have seized the goods according to 19USC1526(e)."
CBP spokesmen also tried to solve the general reaction of many people to this incident: Can't they just look at the packaging box and brand and tell that OnePlusBuds are genuine (instead of "fake" products that pass off as AirPods)? "CBP's seizure of the headphones involved has nothing to do with the image or language on the packaging box. Companies don't have to put the word' Apple' or design on their products to infringe these trademarks. "
According to a CBP spokesman, OnePlus (or the manufacturer that imports OnePlusBuds) "will have many opportunities to provide evidence through the adjudication procedure to prove that their products do not violate the relevant record trademarks". Foreign media said that OnePlus had been contacted earlier and they refused to comment on the seizure. After seeing CBP's statement, the company declined to comment again.
In addition, Apple itself has not taken any legal action against OnePlus, and OnePlus and other companies including B&; Many American retailers, including HPhoto, still sell this headset. Consumers can still buy them normally, and it is not clear whether CBP plans to seize future goods.
