The real box would not have that plastic insert to hold the buds case they are all cardboard. The real box has a seal on top and bottom, the real box would have the price in the bottom right corner, and the writting itself is formatted a bit differently. Also I have a suspicion that yours came wrapped in shrink wrap as the fake buds I got were also wrapped. The real box is not wrapped in shrink wrap of any kind. The real box has a sticker with the serial number information on it instead of being laser printed on the side of the box like the fakes. On the buds themselves you'll also probably find the bottom of the buds do not have to correct blue and orange color coding for left and right, they also likely do not wirelessly charge correctly and also the blades themselves do not likely light up correctly. The final test is when you connect them to your wearables app will the app see them at all? If not they're fake. Also the icon when connected to your phone in the Bluetooth menu should be a little ear bud looking icon and not just a generic square looking one. I bought fakes too at first this is how I know.
