Is my AirPods fake ??
My friend gifted me this AirPods and when I tried to connect it, it says that “these headphones could not be verified as genuine AirPods and may not behave as expected” what does this means ???

Does it find them? If yes then at least the serial number is real, but fake copies can have real serial numbers that will, of course, be reported as valid. If you take them to Apple they can tell the difference. The bottom line is the only real way to be sure Airpods are not fake is to only buy them from Apple or an Apple Authorized retailer. --> Find Locations
