AirPods status light green
It is clear that there are replicas of Apple's wireless headphones, which are traced to the official ones. Some time ago we told you how to know if some Airpods are original or fake. Today we are going to tell you about another way to know if they are or not.
The small LED that we can find in the charging case of the headphones is a great sneak. The colors we see on it will reveal whether we have AirPods from Apple or, on the contrary, a replica.
Based on the color of the AirPods' status light, you can tell if they are fake or official:

Officially, the small LED that we find in the Airpods case can emit three colors.
- Green light.
- Orange or amber.
- White.
If the case emits another type of color, know that you have replicas or fake AirPods.
It can happen that they are fake and emit the same colors as the originals. The replicas are more and more realistic. To make sure that they are 100% official, put the tutorial that we have linked to you at the beginning of this article into practice.
Meaning of the colors of the LEDs on the Airpods case:
This is the information emitted by each of the colors of the AirPods LED :
- Green light: With the AirPods inside the case, they indicate that the headphones are 100% charged. If the headphones are not inside, it informs us that the case is 100% charged
- Orange or Amber: With the AirPods inside the case, they indicate that the headphones are not 100% charged. If the headphones are not inside, it tells us that the case has less than a full charge left. If it flashes amber, you may need to set it up again before using it.
- White light: If the status light flashes white, then your AirPods are ready to be set up with a compatible device. You should see it when the button on the back of the case has been pressed.
In the following article we explain all the ways that exist to know the exact charge that the headphones and the Airpods case have.
As you can see, the information revealed by the status light of Apple's wireless headphones is interesting and, above all, it allows us to know if they are original or not
