I guess these are fake. The replacement mic has a good quality and the sound quality is clear. This system is quite powerful. Love the sandals and the style. After 2 uses it just started to work. I?m keeping it because I?m lazy about returning it and because I do love the aesthetic. BUT if youre only looking to wear it for 5 seconds. I think Ill be using them more often than my wired ones. Das ganze hat für 25 Songs durch den Ballast eine Stunde gedauert. They are durable and well made.
