A:Answer Hi Amanda, I can confidently say I’ve been scammed before when it comes to buying AirPods, what I have learned is to just buy them at the store brand new and price match to the cheapest place, all AirPods have Serial Numbers on the case, if you wanna check if the pair you own are real, simply look for it. Sometimes it is hard to find, but it is there. If you have an iPhone, download the support app from Apple and look to see if you have AppleCare available on your set. From what I have found, AirPods bought from BestBuy come from a one year manufacturer’s warranty if you didn’t buy AppleCare with them. If all else fails check the serial found on the inside of the AirPods case.
