How do I verify if my AirPods are original?

I bought an airpod pro fake. I'm SURE it's fake even the serial number being authentic. It's fake. But how do I prove to the store that it's perfectly fake?

You won't need to prove to an Apple Store that your pair of AirPods Pro are counterfeit. The employee will conduct some tests with the AirPods at the back of the store, which is usually enough to tell them that they are fake.

Fake AirPods:

What is "the store" you speak of? Is it an Apple Store? If so, you are fine. Apple would never sell you fake AirPods.


Get these from Apple to Avoid Scams:

If you decide to get new ones, then I recommend you get them from Apple, and none other. Getting them elsewhere(particularly off the Web), they may not be genuine —a common scam to avoid.

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.
