This way you can verify that your AirPods are really original, and what you should do if you finally verify that they are fake.

Apple products are usually much more expensive than those of the competition, not only because of the brand but also because of the good quality of the product, and for example, getting the latest generation of AirPods will cost you 199.99 euros, one amount that many families are not willing to bear.

That is why many people go to online sites or auction platforms to try to get Apple AirPods at a lower price, but as you well know, nobody gives anything away for free, and it is likely that you will end up falling for some kind of scam buying headphones false.

That is why the OCU helps us detect if some AirPods are fake and also advises us what we should do if we have already bought them.

On the one hand, they advise Let’s escape from those impossible offers, because nobody gives anything away, and if you see some very cheap AirPods, they may be fake or may not work. Do not trust these types of offers.

Also to check that the AirPods are original you must ask them to be paired with your iPhone. As you well know, when you open the cover of the headphones, the iPhone detects them automatically, if it were not so, we are dealing with a fake product.

But it is likely that due to some mistake we have finally bought some fake AirPods, and you have several options in this regard:

  • The most normal thing is that you contact the establishment or individual that has sold them to you, since there would be a lack of objective correspondence between what was agreed and what was delivered.
  • If the purchase was made in an online store and 14 days have not elapsed since the delivery of the product, you can exercise the right of withdrawal. If that period has already passed, you should request the seller to replace or terminate the contract, having the same rights as if it were a defective product.
  • If you have bought them from an individual, you can only exercise the right of withdrawal if you had agreed to do so when making the transaction.
  • If you made the purchase in a physical store, you must make sure that it really accepts returns during a period after the sale, or else go directly to the seller and request the exchange or return because the product delivered does not comply with the contract.
  • If it was a purchase between individuals, you will only have the option of going to the seller and requesting the termination of the contract as they have delivered something different to the one agreed in the advertisement.
