iPhone headphones (with mic.) [Replica] - £2.46 @ dealextreme!


£2.46

33°

FOUND BY: CReilly 7 months, 3 days ago

I recieved my pair 2 weeks ago, having ordered them to replace my recently broken official apple ones, but waited to test their quality before I posted this. They are extremely good - almost identical in terms of sound quality to the apple ones; that goes for people hearing you through the mike and listening to music (the bass and treble is better than on most replica ones). To be honest, if someone gave them me I would assume they were the official ones... Not at all bad for a replica costing over 20x less than the official ones!

Apple will replace broken headphones for free.

I rang them up, explained the button / mic no longer worked, which was true, they sent me a new pair and a jiffy bag, popped the old ones in and posted them (opted to pay and send recorded else they charge you if they do not receive the old ones within 14 days) but the bag is freepost

Good deal for £2.46, not a fan of the Apple standard headphones but at this price you can't go wrong

i would stay clear of this company - i ordered a couple of times and have never received them, their customer service is shocking as they never email you back or you can not get anyone on the phone. Lucky i paid with Paypal so have started a resolution with them.

'almost identical in terms of sound quality to the apple ones'. That's enough reason to vote cold. But im not a dick, so I'm going to vote this hot for value.

However, anyone who spends £100+ on an ipod should really spend an extra £15 on half-decent headphones.

I ordered some of these a few weeks ago and they arrived yesterday, can't say i was all that impressed. I know there knock offs but the speakers aren't even glued inside the housing so any sound through them results in a really annoying rattle. Wouldn't recommend them. Its like the old chestnut "You get what you pay for"

You wouldnt believe the internal debate I had trying to decide how to phrase that. Mic. Microphone, Mik, etc...

I agree, but iPhone's (exl. 3G) dont accept non-iPod headphones without a connector jack, which is just that bit extra fiddly.

Hm, mine really are great. I was apprehensive myself, in fact I only posted because I was suprised at their quality. Perhaps the build quality is variable, depending on the batch..?
