how do you guys distinguish an original apple earphones with the fake ones?
My cousin bought earphones for a very cheap price and it doesnt come in a box, it is sealed in the usual apple plastic sort of pouch. Is it the real deal?

Lots of them "Class A" Apple replacements for 100 bucks. Haven't tried one, though, but why not? If it's lemon, then throw away. The original earphones that came with my kids' Mini isn't that good anymore. Some extra noise there.

I myself use a in ear ala SONY headset, bass is so good, and its only 650pesos, no cheap one can compare, I can even lower my output volume to half when using this one, and its so matibay compare to any other, used for 6 months and no problem parin,

I suggest if buying an expensive headset, try it out first until you found one that satisfy you and let you think its worth the money before buying, I even tried he in ear Sheinheiser but still no

match with my ala SONY

hehe, just my 2 cents,

there are a lot of those around. most earphones i see now on other people are white! but when i geet closer, i could see how fake they are. one actually had a shimmery, pearly finish. another had silver plastic inlays.

One way, but not a guarantee, is to look at how the 'R' and 'L' are printed. The original apples seem to be more textured than the fakes. This is just my observation.

my friend got his for P900.00
i cant differentiate it from the original in terms of its physical appearance.
And i havent tested it for sound difference
