This was shipped in an odd plastic bag. I had to settle with the stock tips. I ordered 1 size larger due to other reviews saying they fit on the small size. They do appear to be genuine Apple product. I used to have another older cable and it would not do this. Breathable material that does not make you hot. TECHNICAL DETAILS:These clips are sturdy, large enough to hold up to 15mm straps, and very easy to use. My Friends 11 yr old put them in his ears but he had to use the smaller buds for it to work, but he didnt have any issue either. Overall, Id have to give this product a 3-Star. I bought this because shoes and boots and hats and mittens just got to my anxiety.
