r/AreMyAirpodsAuthentic

he says its 100% real and he got it gifted but he already had other airpods
UPDATE i got my money back.

Don’t seem fake and reasonable price. Let me know if red flags

On fake’S its not moving. Same works on AP2

I haven't bought yet, these are photos from the seller. Let me know if I should ask for more pics of certain parts of the box. The unit is sealed so I can't get pics of the headphones themselves.

I purchased these from an open box seller. Feel real however the box looks odd. Top is the new pair, bottom are a real pair

Got them as a gift. Opening felt little cheap

so i bought today opened not used much airpods from aukro (a czech selling app, someting like vinted) and im just wondering if they are real, the serial number matches up the one in setting/web. if you need anymore info/picktures lmk. softwere vise they do work but sometimes they glitch a lil bit and also i cant reset them (the led stays green and i dont think the front and the back maybe dont have the buttons there but idk) also there is this wierd sound when i open the case idk if that is supposed to be there. bought them for around 125 dollars

Auto connection to iPhone didn’t work tho, couldn’t tap the case twice to connect it

I’m looking for AirPod Maxes on Facebook Marketplace are these legit or fake?

Just bought these. I haven’t received them yet but the tear strips have me doubting them.

Thanks

**Update May 1 - Returned the item on eBay and the seller gave a full refund without returning it, asking for a favorable review 😏**

Reposting with pictures. Pretty sure these are fake but thought I’d make sure before trying a return.

My new AirPods 4 ANC will not update firmware to current version. Stuck at 7A304. Will not function with Siri. Microphone only works during phone calls.

Any advice beside taking them to a Genius Bar? There isn’t really a local one near me. Warranty is good through May 31 2026.

I bought these on Ebay (new & sealed) but I did go through the checklist here and they seem to be legit.

Did some research and found that some generation 2 AirPods were shrink wrapped. The logo is embossed on the front.These were $150 and the seller has all positive feedback and some mentioning that AirPods are authentic.

Are they authentic?

A friend of mine upgraded to the new ones and gave me his old pair. Any idea if they’re legit?

my dad has never ever bought me fake airpods but my airpod 2 pro he got me today (brand new) have a little voice saying "connected" when i put them in whic i searched and this doesn't seem normal and then the "nia" in california is smaller than the other words on the back of the case,and the features such as ANC and transparency doesn't work when i tap it and to top it off it didn't give me the classic rerun of like hearing tests or whatever when i connected them it just did it straight away

edit: solved , thankyou!

I plan to buy them today, so I'd like to know your opinion on whether they are real or fake. Thanks!

Legit ?
