There is no way to tell. The counterfeit market for AirPods is huge, so the only way you will know you are getting a legitimate pair is to purchase from Apple or Authorized Apple Seller. The counterfeiters simply copy the serial number of legitimate AirPods, so there is no serial number check that will help. All the packaging and devices are copies as well. Some issues you may find with fake AirPods are:

  • Poor Audio quality
  • Poor Range
  • Noise Cancellation may not work
  • Find My may not work
