Serial numbers and model numbers are vastly easier to copy, as compared with the effort involved with copying and packaging a functional counterfeit device.

Copying the numbers off a legitimate box somewhere is easy.

These numbers tell you nothing.

Here’s a video from Adam Savage of MythBusters and Tested on identifying counterfeit AirPods:

As mentioned else-thread, buy from Apple or an Apple authorized reseller, or from a vendor you trust to still exist and more importantly to honor an implied warranty after the purchase. Online sales from unknown vendors? You want a big discount for the risk you are taking.

Those numbers are legit. As for the specific AirPods you have, don’t know for sure.

Why do you ask?

Counterfeiters copy legitimate numbers, which probably the easiest part of the manufacturing. That even includes the serial numbers of legitimate devices.

The only way you would know for sure if AirPods are original is to purchase them from Apple or Authorized Apple seller. If that is not important to you, then you may want to take a gamble from a third party site.

Your question implies you bought the AirPods on the street or online source not connected to Apple. While the model numbers may be legit that doesn’t mean they are authentic Apple products. You get what you pay for. My guess? Counterfeit.
