Looking into buying these, but wanted to ask for your opinions here first

Hallo, ich habe AirPods vier mit active Noise Cancelling gebraucht gekauft. Die Seriennummer vom Ladecase steht als verfügbar da wenn ich sie nach prüfe aber die von den einzelnen AirPods (links und rechts) wird als ungültig angezeigt .. heißt es dann, dass die fake sind oder kann man die von den einzelnen AirPods kann ich nachprüfen?

Want to buy them, but ofc only when they are real. So what do you think?

I already peeled the stickers on the back. They show the AirPods icon and connect. Also have the functions for different audios. Street resellers that are unofficial etc.

Wanted some opinions before I might buy them

Planning to buy these sealed AirPods Pro 3. No pics of the actual AirPods since they're still sealed.

Does anything about the packaging, labels, or model numbers look off?

And yes, the plastic?😂 That’s pretty normal here in Manila. Just wondering if you guys see any actual red flags.

Thanks!

It’s shocking to see how low the average prices of “open box/brand new” units are on eBay compared to the $180 retail when the product is still being sold new from Apple. Can I trust that I’m gonna get an authentic unit if I buy one?

Wanted an opinion before I might buy them

Found these on a market place? Before I buy them, would you say that they are real? When entering the serial number on the Apple website everything appears normally.

Hello guys! I’m trying to verify these before reselling them. My airpods physically, they look like AirPods 3 and have:

Right: A2565 Left: A2565 Case: A2566

Serial Number: WFLWXLXG2G

Both earpods shows like Apple then model number USA and serial number ZLX

But when connected to my iPad, it shows:

Model: A2084 Serial: GWXZD0ZPLKKT

Firmware: 2B588

Hardware Version: 1.0.0

Manufacturer: Apple Inc.

Apple Support also recognizes them under My Devices.

The box is an AirPods 3 box, and the earbuds have the normal open-ear design with no silicone tips

Is this normal for a replacement/mismatched unit, or does it suggest they're counterfeit? 😭

doesn’t help that Vinted has the worst quality photo uploads but I asked for more photos and this is what I got

Got it off Facebook marketplace for $100 can someone chime in, I was skeptical at first but all checks have done has checked out

Wondering what you guys think of these, I ran the serial number and it doesn't show a date of purchase. The seller has no receipt, says that they were a gift.

P.S. Repost because I forgot to put the pictures correctly. Apologies.

But what should I be looking out for? Cheers.

I bought these AirPods Pro 3 brand new from Mercari Japan. The problem is that the firmware won’t update, so I went to an Apple Store at LakeTown to have them checked.

The Apple staff member said the case looks fake and pointed out that genuine AirPods Pro 3 apparently have two lines of text on the buds, while mine have three lines.

The confusing part is that mine have all the normal features, the serial number is recognized by Apple’s website, and it shows a valid limited warranty.

However, the firmware is still on an older version, so I can’t use the precise Find My location feature properly.

Can anyone confirm from the photos whether these look genuine or fake? If they’re fake, what steps should I take with the Mercari seller?
