Fake airpods

I got a fake pair of AirPods and checked everything at first. There appears to be no problems. And it appears like a real one. I also checked the serial number. And the Apple coverage. It’s well done. But then.. something is lacking. It lacks adaptive transparency. Unfortunately, I did not recognise it at first.

I discovered it since, as I am aware, the real one is simple to connect to via iPhone and iPad. This one,however, is not! The point is, I don’t feel good about this. Apple should do more or go deeper, please. Because as a customer, I am disappointed. Why can this happen, and why can this fake airpods receive Apple coverage

They list coverage because somebody used a real serial number when making the fakes. Report the incident to Apple. They may be able to flag the serial number to prevent his from happening to others (assuming others check the serial numbers before purchasing).
