How to inspect and accept AirPods?

AirPods are wireless earphones developed by Apple, which operate using Bluetooth technology and allow you to listen to music, take calls, and interact with voice assistants without wires and with convenience. AirPods, like all Apple devices, have the capability of integration with the user's Apple account. This enables automatic synchronization of the earphones with other Apple devices, such as iPhone, iPad, and Mac, making it easier to use and ensuring convenience in transferring settings and data between devices.

3. Build quality: Genuine AirPods have high build quality. Pay attention to small details like seam alignment, plastic quality, and assembly.
4. Sound and functionality: Check the sound quality of the earphones, as well as the functionality of all buttons and microphones. Genuine AirPods should provide clear sound and flawless function control.

Myth and Truth About Headphone Tracking:

• Myth: Customers can track the location of the headphones - this is incorrect information. AirPods do not have a GPS chip or any other tracking methods. They connect solely through Bluetooth, so when the headphones are connected to a new phone, the old phone (owner) cannot track their location in any way.
• Truth: For AirPods Pro, to activate the tracking feature on a new device, they must be disconnected from the previous Apple ID. Therefore, a new owner cannot activate the tracking feature if the headphones are linked to a previous account. Fortunately, not many customers use this feature.
