How to Check Original AirPods
Copy AirPods are common in Pakistan. These simple checks show whether a pair of AirPods (or AirPods Pro / Max) is original before you pay.
Updated 15 November 2026
1. Check the serial number
Find the serial number in Settings > Bluetooth > (i) next to the AirPods on an iPhone, or under the case lid. Enter it on Apple's Check Coverage website: original AirPods show the correct model.
2. Pairing animation
Open the case next to an unlocked iPhone. Original AirPods show the Apple pairing card with the correct model and battery levels of each bud and the case.
3. Firmware and settings
Original AirPods Pro show Apple settings such as Ear Tip Fit Test, Adaptive Audio and Conversation Awareness. Copies often miss these or show a fixed firmware number.
4. Noise cancellation that really works
Turn on noise cancellation in a noisy place: original AirPods Pro clearly reduce fan, traffic and engine noise. Copies only make the sound quieter.
5. Case and build
Look at the hinge, the light, the USB-C port and the printing inside the lid. Original cases close with a firm magnetic snap and the text is sharp.
6. Price that is too low
A price far below the market is the biggest sign of a copy. Compare with the live prices on our AirPods price list (AirPods).
7. Buy where you can check before paying the balance
We sell only original, box packed AirPods (Apple AirPods Pro 3) (Apple AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C)). You pay a small advance and the rest after you check the box and serial on delivery.
