How to check AirPods Pro 1st generation charging case Firmware?

What is the current firmware version for the AirPods Pro gen 1 charging case? I recently bought a pair on eBay and while the buds are genuine and update, the case appears stuck on version 1.4.1. My Pro 2 charging case is at 74.1 0.0. I still have enough time to return them. I just want to prove to the seller big refurbished store) that they are selling counterfeit products and that they shouldn’t run their mouth towards a customer regarding how to check for fakes. If anyone could check in their settings I would much appreciate it, thanks!

Wait at least 30 minutes for the firmware to update.
