This is why I basically buy all my minor electronics off Aliexpress. All of those "air pods" are all the same. The $60 are the same as the $40, which are exactly the same as the $8 ones, they just have fancier packaging and English insert that is actually readable.

Does the 8$ one have ANC?

ANC that actually works? Depends if it's the $8 eligible for free shipping one or the $8 one with $15.99 shipping one lol.
