Hey jlnacu,
We'd be happy to help out. If you've purchased your AirPods directly from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller, you'll know that they are genuine.
The only other way to find out if you didn't purchase through these channels would be to bring your AirPods in for further evaluation by a technician. We wouldn't be able to say with certainty here on these forums.
For help with locating a store in your area, select your country/region here: Apple - Find Locations - Location Selector
Take care!
