Verifying a Genuine Device:

1. Get the Serial Number: Find the Serial Number of your AirPods - Apple Support
2. Enter the Serial Number here: https://checkcoverage.apple.com/.
3. View the Results: If all shows up as AirPods, then you are fine. If not, then these are fake, and that is likely why you are getting the issue of connectivity.
