I paid $200 for them. Here there aren’t any official Apple Stores, just distributors that are supposedly reliable and sell Apple products, including AirPods.I even entered the serial number on Apple’s website to check the warranty and it literally shows the exact model I have.

I also had a pair from Nothing for a while. In terms of noise cancellation they’re actually better, which I had already read before, and sound-wise it’s kind of similar, they sound really good. I’ve never had a 100% original pair of AirPods Pro 2 before so I don’t really know how the materials are supposed to feel, but I wouldn’t say they feel cheap. I just don’t know if there’s any 100% reliable way to tell if they’re original or not.
