AirPods fakes are extremely, extremely convincing these days. I would be surprised if they were real stolen products from the Apple Store.

If so, these were exceptional fakes, down to the quality of the packaging.

Yup, and you can even buy them for $10-20 off sites like Aliexpress or Temu. They even do the popup for pairing when you open them. The audio quality and ANC is not so great, as far as I know, though.
