The best way to check if the AirPods are genuine is by matching their serial number with Apple’s official record, you will find the code inside the case on the lid.

Another way is by looking at the diffuser on the earbuds. if it is properly aligned with the smaller hole that means that you got a genuine product but if they are misaligned or look cheaply made, it is a knock-off.

The faker version has a thinner metal outline around the lighting port and they are of different colors.

Also, in the case of fake products, the circle button is usually higher than the real one. In bold gray, it is written that it is “designed by Apple in California /assembled in China” the hinge on these fake products is made of cheap plastic and are placed differently.
