How do I know if my AirPods are genuine?
How do ik my air pods are real

Model numbers and serial numbers can be copied. And routinely are copied.
Contact the retailer, and ask them.
If these AirPods were not purchased from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller, it’s quite possible they’re counterfeit. If purchased from an online marketplace or grey market, it’s unfortunately more likely that they're counterfeit.
Identifying fakes can be easy, or can be very difficult: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db99cXMD780
There are some folks that report the firmware reports itself as A3000 on legitimate devices:
Do we have airpod pro mode number A3000 - Apple Community
There are other reports with A3000 model that appear to be counterfeits.
In short, nobody knows whether any particular AirPods or AirPods Pro are real, or are fake.
And nobody here can tell which is which remotely.
