1) Serial number may be a legitimate Apple serial (based on the lookup on Apple's site). This is highly deceptive and often confuses most people.
2) Box and headphones show many signs of counterfeiting. Here are some tell-tale signs:
- On box, the sticker at bottom of the box shows: Compatible with latest iOS and iPadOS devices, Apple Watch or Mac. IOS iPadOS, Apple Watch Mac. This last line is translated into 4 languages in the original and IOS is definitely not misspelled.
- OEM box has AirPods Max Sky Blue with Blue Headband. Counterfeit box as follows: Headphone Max Space Gray with Black Headband
These are not authentic AirPods Max headphones. They are plastic cups on the ear, not "beautifully anodized aluminum cups feature a revolutionary mechanism that allows each cup to rotate independently and balance pressure" (https://www.apple.com/airpods-max/).
- The LED light is blue and red when pairing, while legitimate Apple AirPods Max are actually amber and white. https://support.apple.c
- A tell-tale functionality with fakes it does not support Automatic Switching between Apple devices (Bluetooth connect with two devices and hand-off automatically when playing music or video etc.): https://support.apple.c

Apple coverage ends in April for both of them.
Probably going to return both and keep the AAFES deal
Grabbed a "Like New" orange set, as well, for $343.xx after tax. Hopefully one of them will work out as advertised.
Amazon purchase history cites them as "mint" condition though I thought it said 'like new' during checkout. Either way the box was pretty clean aside from LPN stickers and packing tape which Amazon slapped on there. The AirPods and case are seemingly new. I can't find a single blemish or mark on them - not even a fingerprint smudge. The USB-C cable was still coiled up and unused.
After much internet sleuthing and comparisons, as far as I can tell, they're legit and not knockoffs/counterfeits. Serial on box and AirPods match, metal housing, green/white/orange LED, smooth operation of the controls, FindMy works, etc. I was even able to purchase AppleCare for them.
Overall I'm quite happy. Hope others have a similar experience
You can take it to Apple within a year and buy AC+ still. They just gotta inspect it first to make sure, no issues first.

They still have control and can effectively disable the device or play alert sound remotely. I chose to return mine because of this. It's especially annoying to see someone else's masked email address and warning messages pop up every time I try pairing with a new device
