Hello jhojan999,

I see that you are having some concerns over the authenticity of the AirPods Pro you would be buying. I completely understand your concerns. One way of verifying the authenticity of AirPods is by going to Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support, and inputting the serial number. To input the serial number, the box does not have to be opened, just look on the bottom of the box for the serial number and the accompanying barcode. In addition, on that sticker where you can find the serial number is the model numbers for the AirPods. You can also verify these model codes by going to here - Identify your AirPods - Apple Support.

These methods are not foolproof, but they are certainly a good start.

Cheers!
