are my beats fake

Hi, if you bought the headphones from Apple Store, then they're definitely real. If not, you can check the serial number of the product by checking applications to identify the exact information of your speakers. To do this you may see: Find your Beats serial number - Apple Support.

You can check the devices you've connected in Bluetooth since headphones(I only know about AirPods Pro) are connected by Bluetooth mainly(speakers such as HomePod & HomePod mini uses wifi&bluetooth). When you play music with the device for some time(a long time), sometimes the icons do change to Bluetooth connecting headphones. But don't be too worried about it if your headphones still work as usual, and your phone or mac can connect to it.

Ah okay. Yeah, It's probably a glitch, since AirPods Pro's icons do change after a while. But if it works fine then there's no need to worry about it.
