What makes you believe that the Earpods might be counterfeit?

From what vendor did you buy them?

Were they in an undisturbed package?


The "statement" in your photo is what you should expect to see on a genuine Apple product

The last part is the "serial number" of the part - the Earpods


I am not sure that "accessories" included with iPhones, iPads, etc - AC adapter or Earpods - can be searched here with the serial number

OK

I cannot find any "serial number lookup" that will search wired Apple Earphones - your number or other 12-digit numbers that I have found in images here in the forum or with Google search


I ask again

From what vendor did you buy them? WHERE? WHAT CITY?

Were they in an undisturbed package?


New

Did you buy these separately or did they come with an iPhone?

How much did you PAY for them?


What kind of "connector" do these have? 3.5mm stereo "headphone" jack? Lightning Connector (for iPhones that have NO headphone connector - meant to wirelessly pair AirPods)?


What has been your experience with QUALITY?
