Summary on how to tell if your Apple Airpods (2nd Generation, Wireless Charging Case) are fake: 1. Box & packaging differences 2. Markings on the inside of the case 3. Weight of the case and Airpods 4. Connection to a Mac 5. Battery level display There are a lot of these fake Airpods for sale around the internet so just be careful. Sometimes the box looks better than the ones I showed, and sometimes its more obvious. While they still work as headphones, it would be pretty unfortunate to get scammed by someone selling them saying they are real. The safest thing you can do is buy directly from Apple or a real store. Amazon usually has them cheaper than Apple's full price.
