AirPods are considered the most successful product of Apple , because they are the darling of the "apple house", so the AirPods are quite expensive, but this is still a product that many people love to use. Currently, the fake Airpods are increasingly sophisticated, almost 100% real, difficult to distinguish, causing many people to be confused. But don't worry, right now I will guide you how to check and distinguish the fastest and most accurate!

Note: To check and distinguish the most accurate fake AirPods, you need to fully perform the following ways !

1. Check the Serial number on the official Apple website

The way to check and distinguish the most accurate real and fake AirPods is to verify the Serial number on the official Apple website.

The AirPods' serial number can be found on the original packaging next to the barcode, or you can see it on the lid of the AirPods charging case (right or left side of the cover).

Then, take this code and go to the website https://checkcoverage.apple.com > Enter the serial number of the product in the box Enter your serial number > Enter verification code> Click Continue .

After entering, if the real AirPods, the system will display product-related information as shown below!

2. Compare the packaging to find the differences

One of the reasons that Apple products are always loved by users is because the "apple house" is very meticulous, paying attention to even the smallest details. The AirPods packaging is no exception.

If we look closely between the packaging of the real product and the fake product, there will be many differences such as:

- Genuine box has 2 separate stickers, meanwhile, counterfeit goods use only 1 information sticker. Also, the font the actual AirPods box uses is San Francisco, and the fake is another font.

- Consider to the side with the box, where the Apple logo, as you can see the real logo has sharp edges, while on the fake box, the Apple logo is curved at the edges.

On the other side of the box, we will see a huge difference in fonts between real and fake boxes, less spacing between the characters in the actual box, and thinner dummy box fonts.

- Comparison between the back of the box, there is also a font difference, and the color of the real AirPods box is also found to be brighter than the fake.

- Check the interior, especially the user manual, you can see, with the real product, the words "Designed by Apple in California " are printed in gray, while the fake goods are in black color.

Not only are the fonts different, but if you pay close attention, you will find that the standard manual will contain 4 languages ​​(English, French, Spanish and Japanese), while the fake book contains only 3 languages ​​(English, French and German).

3. Check the underside of the AirPods

Next, we will examine more closely, you check the last part of the headset - where the charging contact point is located. If we look closely and closely, we will see the mesh panels on the bottom of the genuine AirPods will be oval in shape, while the counterfeit goods will be almost similar to the circle and the size of the mesh panels will also be larger.

Not only that, but the fake AirPods have a silver mesh, instead of the dark gray color on the real one.

4. Check the AirPods speaker grill

If on real AirPods, you can clearly see the shape of the speaker through the grill / grid, on the AirPods you can hardly do this.

5. Compare charging box

A quick look between the two real and fake charging boxes, users can rarely distinguish. But if you pay a little attention, you will see a difference in fonts, on the fake on the words "Assembled in China" an unusual gap appears between the word "in".

Another point that you need to pay attention is that the pairing button on the back of the AirPods charging box, with genuine goods, it is completely flat, in contrast to "fake", this little button protrudes a little!

6. Check the indicator lights

Another effective test is to look at the bright indicator light on the front (for wireless charging AirPods) and inside of the AirPods case (for wired charging), you'll see a smaller indicator light on the real AirPods. .

7. Check the Lightning charging port

Moving down to the end of the AirPods charging box, another difference lies in the Lightning charging port of the fake AirPods, a small gap between the case and port, on the real one, this does not happen.
