The serial number is less obvious. When you look at the same sticker, below the UPC should be small text that reads: “(S) Serial No.” and then a string of letters and numbers. This is your serial number. Bring the box to your computer or mobile device and go to Apple’s serial number checker to verify that it is, in fact, an Apple serial number. This will also have the benefit of helping you determine if you are actually holding stolen AirPods—even less cool than counterfeit ones.

Even if your serial number is confirmed, there’s no guarantee it’s a legit set of earphones, but they sure as heck aren’t if the tool says they’re not. At this point, you’re going to have to open up the packaging and attempt to pair the AirPods with your phone to investigate further. Next you’re going to have to confirm that the serial number of your AirPods are printed on the actual product themselves and confirm that it’s the same one on the box.

(Note that now Apple is also selling AirPods Pro with a USB-C cable).

However, the enclosed instructions immediately raised suspicions: The print quality of the instructions was moderate and the type was blurred.
