Suspect these are not genuine, but cheap enough to not matter
I suspect these are not a genuine Apple product but the packaging and design is very close. I can tell the following differences between these and my known genuine earpods:
1. The cord is flimsier, particularly where it connects to the ear bud part.
2. The sound from the ear buds is of a noticeably lower quality when compared side by side on the same exact song.
3. Specifically, less bass and more of a...tinny sound (The resulting sound seems to lack body and weight giving the impression of a thin or metallic sound.)
Because they are so cheap I can forgive all of this and suspected they were not genuine before ordering. Regardless, they will serve their purpose for casual listening while traveling on planes and such when I don't really feel like messing with or carrying around more expensive over ear headphones.
