Serial number on AirPod pros

Hi Community!! I have bought a pair of AirPod pros. The serial numbers on the airpods are different to one another. Both the numbers don’t match the serial number on the case. How can I authenticate if the serial numbers on my airpods ?

That is correct

Each Airpod has a different serial number

The only serial number you need it that is used by Apple is the one on the case :


With AirPods (2nd generation) and AirPods Pro, each AirPod also has its own serial number, printed on the AirPod itself. If you need to send your AirPods or charging case in for service, refer to the primary serial number, printed on the case lid. You don't need the serial numbers on the AirPods.

The serial number should be only one. Check this:

  1. Go to Settings > Bluetooth » AirPods in the list » Tap the Info button and you'll see the serial number.
  2. Your AirPods and your charging case share a serial number. You can find the serial number on the underside of the lid of your Charging Case.
  3. If you have the original packaging, you can find the serial number next to the barcode. You can also find the serial number on the original product receipt or invoice.

Yes, you are right. Focused on the main picture removed by the Moderator, which you cannot see now. They appear to be fake.

I did research a lot, as I usually do. In fact it's on my suggested link: Find the serial number of your AirPods

Sadly I didn't see that tiny little reference, which should be in regular text.


Anyway, try to do some research about the way you write here in a good manner dude.


Sorry thanya93 for my mistake.

Hi! Thanks for the reply.

the serial number on the charging case is displayed when I check it through the phone settings. When typed in at the Apple site the same number shows the serial number belongs to apple AirPods Pro. However the serial number on the AirPods itself are different than aforementioned number and one to another.
