DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!DO NOT BUY THIS!!!! I'll try to keep this sweet and to the point. These earphones, from wherever they are being made, are nothing but cheap knock-offs of the factory issued version that comes with the S3. My first pair were destroyed by my dog so I errantly ordered another pair from amazon with the assumption that the ones on this page were of the same make and model; boy was I wrong. My story is as such. I got them in today, just in time for my daily jog and noticed that the sound quality was lacking....SEVERELY. EVERYTHING, from Pandora to HD movies, sounded hollow and muffled with minor base output causing a highly irritating rattling sound just like what happens in a car when you crank the base beyond the capabilities of the speakers; and the volume was only at about 65%!!!! In a state of utter confusion I pulled my OFFICIAL yet badly damaged/chewed on pair out of the trash and contrasted the two in great detail, and here is what I found: 1)The knock off pair is SHORTER in total length, by about 3 inches, than the original. 2)If the earbud silicone is taken off, the MESH covering the speaker opening is very SLOPPILY applied and this is very noticeable. 3)The metal part that plugs into the phone is not placed flush within the plastic housing attaching it to the rest of the earphones where the original is flush and exactly placed in its housing. 4)Most IMPORTANTLY and, perhaps, least noticeably is the difference in the "SAMSUNG" logo printed on the headphones themselves(both the left and right earbuds). The coloration of the "SAMSUNG" insignia of the KNOCK OFFS' is significantly "less grey" and more burnt copper-ish. In addition, the font itself on the KNOCK-OFFS is, to an attentive eye, cruder and less exact in its imprinting than the original; letter for letter. In Conclusion, I must hand it to these swindlers for fooling the whole lot, Amazon included, into thinking they were actually selling a genuine product as it is genuinely fake and genuinely SUCKS!!!! With so many noticeable points of errant fabrication visible with this product, not to mention its actual performance, there's no way this could have come from a Samsung licensed company even if my unit is one of the few that have "slipped through the cracks" (Six SIgma). I guess its cheap enough for most to throw them away and buy more but I hate phonies and con artists and they must be called out for their B.S. So.............. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!
