Linus Tech Tips (LTT): I Fell For the Oldest Scam in the Book

Linus gets a tip from a viewer who lost money on “premium” speakers that turned out to be total fakes, so he outright buys the same set to dissect the whole con. From unboxing the oddly generic packaging and poking around their sketchy website to hooking them up and putting them through real-world sound tests, he shows exactly why these knockoffs never live up to the hype.

After his friends give the verdict (“they sound… awful”), Linus breaks down the scam playbook—too-good-to-be-true prices, unverified sellers, bogus branding and “guarantees”—and shares practical tips for spotting red flags, avoiding shady listings and making sure your next audio purchase is the real deal.
