Unfortunately, counterfeiters have gotten quite skilled at spoofing serial numbers. There really is no way to know if your AirPods are fake. The only way to be sure you are purchasing real AirPods, is to purchase them directly from the Apple Store or an authorized Apple retailer. If it were me, I would return the AirPods since you're having trouble with them. The article below offer some good information.
