Hey everyone, I really need help figuring this out because I’m confused.

I bought these AirPods recently from Subito and at first they seem completely legit:
iPhone pop-up appears when I open them
I can switch between Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode
All the normal AirPods settings show up on my phone
They even show up in Find My (not precision finding)

But something feels off:
The microphone quality is really bad on calls
The case makes a strange noise when charging wirelessly

I checked the serial number and it even shows up as valid with warranty on Apple’s website, so I don’t understand what’s going on.

I can also provide the invoice as proof of purchase (personal data hidden)

so, Are these fake AirPods or could they still be real?

Any help is really appreciated, I’m a bit stressed about it.

If these turn out to be fake, can someone tell me what I should say to the seller to request a refund or dispute this?

IMPORTANT: i need to know it in 2 days T.T
