If it is the original EAR PODs from Apple - they are just great!

If you write reviews about products for which there are half a dozen vendors, then you have to call a spade a spade. For not always is the same article. Sometimes the execution is different (new, used, in original packaging, without packaging [also called bulk - such as spare parts, bulk packaging, etc.] and in some cases it may be a copy of the latter would be in this case particularly brazen and. for me a clear reason for the return.

In my case, the apple earbuds of "online Queen" originate and was shipped via Amazon Prime. It is obviously the original apple earbuds wrapped in gray film (ie without the retail cardboard packaging) but do not come with the original plastic case with Apple logo. Design, printing on cables and sound correspond 1: 1 my last original Ear Pods with sales package.
These "Apple apple earbuds" headset are the value for money (and that includes the price of Apple 29.- fully a) the best of what I have so far "in the ears" had. Ordinary heights strong but not too strong bass - very good.

Unfortunately, many fakes - depending on the supplier - available under the original Apple SKU, so the ratings go often so far apart. It's just like paper money - there are criteria: If the can with the wound headphones here (can have some well Fakes and replicas) and headphones on light gray cable in dark gray the imprint have "Designed by Apple in California Assebled in China" + Production number (not SKU) - then they are genuine. And then is also true of the sound. - If not - return the same.
