are my airpod pros real?

I ordered a pair of airpod pros from an online vendor and my suspicions are really high that these are not genuine. The biggest give away is the sound quality being poorer than my last pair. They apparently have Apple care coverage but I'm not convinced. How can I be sure?

Are my AirPods Pro 1 fake so I bought these AirPod pros online and when receiving it, first the box didn’t have the opening strap it was just plastic sealed and when opened the case holder was hard plastic instead of cardboard. The weight of the AirPods also felt a little light compared to the gen 2. Like a clear lightness. The back also says assembled in vietnam not china. So I’m a bit confused heres the serial number, so please check if it’s legit but what also confuses me is that in the AirPods settings it says it has a warranty till June 2025 which seems real, so I’m genuinely confused which is right or wrong [Edited by Moderator]

Are these AirPods fake? Want to buy a new airpods pro 2, the seller send me an image looks like the serial number is ok and even has apple care+ but the model here is mlwk3zm/a and this number from 1st gen, right? So it's fake or not? And one airpod has number A2931 wich is also strange, cause on the box there are A2698 A2699.

Are my airpods fake? I was sold some second hand airpod Pro's for an unrealistically low price. Many of the signs point towards them being counterfeit, Such as the case being shiny,and the hinge being low quality.. However they are showing up as genuine when linked to my iPhone, giving me a serial number and a purchase date etc and also showing up in FindMy. The serial number for the case checks out on the apple Web page but the serials for both the left and right pods are not recognised. I'm very confused and if someone could shed some light on this I would very much appreciate it

Hello ~ If you have confirmed that they have Apple Care Coverage but aren’t pleased it may be best to send them back for a refund and make a purchase from Apple.
