Fake Apple In-Ear headphones

Just a warning!

I ordered a pair of New Apple In-ear 'phones from Amazon Marketplace from a seller called PODJUNKIE, at £49.99.

They are fake

The headphones do not have the screw in/out mesh protectors (and none were supplied).
The in-line remote is the same as that on the iPhone ear buds, rather than that for the In-Ear buds (which have volume controls).
Aluminium audio canals shorter & different design.
Construction materials feel far cheaper (greasy plastic!)
Lettering on 'phones comes off with ease.


The packaging was a reasonable attempt, and a fair copy, although fonts were a little less sharp, and the card/paper/documentation lacked quality.

I haven't bothered listening to them - such is my disgust!

If I didn't already have a pair to compare with, it could have been more easy to be duped.

Seller isn't acknowledging e-mails , so fingers crossed for a refund from Amazon; but please beware! Shame as his feedback for other items is quite good :/
