AirPods 2nd Gen difference: made in China vs made in Vietnam

Can anyone explain the difference in specs between Airpods (2nd Gen) Made in China vs made in Vietnam. I just purchased a MacBook and got a free AirPod 2nd Gen but it says made in Vietnam, and feels little flimsy and loose when you open the lid, lighter in weight compared to AirPods 1st Gen, the box packaging has different print. Is this legit?

AirPods 2 gen without wireless charging Case says assembled in Vietnam instead of in China. And I checked the serial number and they came back valid but the case and actual AirPods are lighter on than what google said when I weighted them.
