I must confess, in spite of all the warning reviews I thought I'd try my luck just once. Even if it should be cheap knockoffs, they could so bad not to be. Well, think again. Although the cheap headphones from discounters around the corner sound flat and bland, but what you get here is not even compare it. As previously confirmed by other commentators, the headphones come in a padded envelope and lay in a simple clear plastic bag. After unpacking I have first compared with my defective HPM-78 and turned at once notice that the rubber stopper of the in-ears much thinner, labbriger and less stable were than the original, the housing of the left earpiece was not trimmed, so plastic fringes survived, and the cable left both headphones at different angles, which protrude vertically led away the right cable from the ear and looks somehow funny when worn. Everything is not so dramatic, eventually the price of 5 euros was indeed at least unbeatable. But then I came to sound. There was (regardless of whether I changed the equalizer settings of my smartphone) only dull throbbing and not much else. The tunes in the background while you could imagine, but otherwise it deafened only dull and hard at the pain threshold into the ear. So I decided to return the handset and the smooth unwinding needs here at Amazon and distributors Musiba praise (the now no longer even offers the headphones). Arguing that one should expect only fake goods at such a price but I come however contrary to the Conclusion that I could buy a week later from another dealer here (Triplebuy) for 6.80 Original Sony Ericsson HPM-78.
