Title
REAL vs. FAKE Bose QC20i circuit board comparison
Introduction
We have a few photos showing a REAL Bose QC20 and a FAKE Bose QC20 circuit board. (The REAL photos come from https://www.head-fi.org/threads/bose-quietcomfort-20-discussion-thread.680870/page-8 (bottom) and https://imagebin.ca/v/2NN1A5BBrCjf. (With thanks to both) The FAKEs are (unfortunately) from me.
Also, thanks to Jordan Ditzler for his YouTube video on how to tell the difference between fakes and real without disassembly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLgD9tOSdr4&t=399s
