IMPORTANT: Keep Serial Numbers off of forums. These forums are out there for everyone to view. So, once someone sees a Serial Number, anyone can know to whom it pertains. So, for Security & Privacy, I've asked the Host to remove the serial number.


Troubleshooting AirPod Info:

A. Start here: If you see an alert that says "AirPods Mismatch" - Apple Support


B. Verifying Genuine AirPods:

  1. Get the Serial Number: Find the Serial Number of your AirPods - Apple Support
  2. Enter the Serial Number here: https://checkcoverage.apple.com/.
  3. View the Results: If all shows up as an AirPod, then you are fine. If not, then these are fake, and that is likely why you are getting the issue of connectivity.


C. Getting the Original Date of Purchase:

Did you purchase AppleCare with these? If so, enter the serial number here: https://checkcoverage.apple.com/. It will give you a date of when it renews (on the boom of the page). If not, contact Apple Support, proving them with the Serial Number (see below). If permitted, the Apple Rep would tell you over the phone. Provide them with the Serial Number when calling.


D. Who's the Seller?:

If purchased from Apple, then have no worries. All is fine. If purchased elsewhere, then request the original proof of purchase with it from the seller.
