    You can tell if a sealed product is fake by checking the seal strip. Apple included a feature that’s makes to the eye, but visible under UV light.

    I bought some really good replicas for $100, but the buttons click when you push them, the case is magnetic but its missing some of the details you described, and the quality of the audio was a giveaway. My Bose EarPods have that very deep noise cancellation and these do not have that depth. Either way, they are fine for my purposes but I wouldn’t mind having a real pair in the future…
