It is possible to identify counterfeit AirPods by examining several major details:
Serial Number: In the settings, go under Bluetooth and (i) next to AirPods, then scroll down to about, and see the serial number. Thereupon look into it in the official Apple site (checkcoverage.apple.com).
Packaging: Original AirPods are packed in premium boxes with an unambiguous serial number and the Apple logo accuracy.
Sound Quality: The artificial ones are normally flatter or distorted.
MagSafe/ Charging Case: The original cases are magnetically closed and immediately connected with iPhones.
Price: This is one of the clues that makes it probable that a product is counterfeit, when it is significantly below the retail price.
To tell if AirPods are fake, check the serial number on Apple’s official website. Genuine AirPods have high-quality sound, smooth pairing, and precise packaging. Fake ones may show poor audio, irregular fonts, mismatched serial numbers, or cheap build quality.
