If you're wondering whether these are knock-offs, then remember you get what you pay for. These earbuds look and even feel like the real thing, but their sound quality is so bad it's clear that they're not. In a head-to-head with a pair of known, genuine Apple earbuds, the two pairs look identical, but sound remarkable different. It's clear the emphasis for these earbuds is looking the part but not carrying any respectable sound quality. Mind you, Apple earbuds aren't an audiophiles pick to begin with, but these sound so bad the difference between the genuine and fake buds is so obvious. Unless you're looking to use these exclusively for scratchy audio in phone calls, I'd keep looking.
Poor sound quality, albeit with the look and feel of the real thing
