Designed in california assembled in china apple headphones...

My other headphones broke... It was the official one... designed in california assembled in Vietnam.
I just got back home buying a other pair apple headphones with mic but this time it stats designed in california assembled in china. Bear in mind I brought them from Argos for 24.99 pound. The headphones doesn't feel right yet when I play music it sounds 100% better my other apple headphone.
Did I buy a fake pair?

If your looking for orginal Apple headphones, the best place to get them would be on the Apple store, or head into your nearest Apple Store/Apple Premium Reseller. They may be dearer than other retailers, but you have peace of mind that they are from Apple themselves.

  • Designed in California assembled in China is missing in my Earpods

    I bought earpods in the online store... and I think its authentic, because it came from iPhone 5 package , the only problem is there is no "Designed in california, assembled in china" sign in the wire, my question is, is that possible that even without the sign it will be considered as authentic??? is the first batch of earpod came from first batch of iPhone 5 doesn't have that sign??

    I've never seen an earbud with that printed on it. If it came with the iPhone, and you bought it from Apple or an Authorized reseller, yes, its authentic.

  • "DESIGNED BY APPLE IN CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLED IN CHINA"

    I HAVE AN IPOD TOUCH 4G NOW AND IM PLANNING TO BUY IPHONE 4, HOWEVER THERE'S SOMETHING THAT CATCH MY ATTENTION ABOUT THE LABEL WRITTEN ON MY IPOD "designed by apple in california assembled in china". IS IT REAL OR SHOULD I SAY ORIGINAL?

    Most every product sold by Apple is made in China. Not sure about Mac Pros. My 2006 Mac Pro was apparently made in California, but that's nearly five years ago.
    My newer Mac Pro was made in China.
    I can remember when Apple had a large factory in the suburbs of Dallas. I got to know several of the workers there, they loved their jobs, when they weren't working they were unpaid Apple evangelists.
    Most of those workers were probably promoted to the ever-expanding fast food industry.

    do you have a question?

  • How do you tell the difference between a genuine USB to Lightning cable? I spoke to two different operators at Apple Support. One said that it has Designed in California Made in China and the serial number on it, and the other operator said it didn't

    How can you tell the difference between a genuine Apple lead and the cheap, or sometimes not so cheap imitations? I spoke with two people at Apple Support - one said that it has Designed in California Made in China and the serial number stamped on it, and the other said it didn't. Come on guys, how are we supposed to tell if you can't? I'd really like to know how to identify my lead amongst my daughter's gazillion fakes?

    All my cables are genuine either with the devices or from Apple retail Store I have never found a serial number on any regardless of which length ,I have all three lengths
    In fact they have nothing printed at all only a USB logo at relevant end

    I live in BKK and found an iPhone 5 with the legend "Designed by Apple in California and assembled in the USA".  Is that suspicious?  As diesel vdub posted, a real iPhone will have "...assembled in China" on the back.

    That's just nonsense that politicians and other ignorant people say. Just ignore it. The market has spoken loud and clear on this one. The more interesting question is if the USA could ever approach the efficiency of China. Again, obviously that is possible, but not with the current socio/policial/economic environment.

    That is a much more interesting question. For the past decade, it has been fashionable to treat software development as a commodity. All software developers are equal, we can just hire them in India where they work for less. In theory, that is true. In practice, all they look at is price. They don't pay the slightest attention to the actual developers, either in the USA or India. All they want is cheap, cheap, cheap. Because they don't care, they don't bother to check qualifications or to make good architecture choices. All they do is Windows and all they hire are people with the most buzzwords on their resumes.
    If you want to be in that market, then you need to invent a resume with 15 years of iOS experience. Just study the latest, hippest acronyms and give yourself experience for twice as long as said technology has existed. The people doing the hiring won't know any difference.
    If you actually want to be a real programmer, then your approach in India is no different than it would be in the US. Learn the fundamentals. Learn the environment that you actually enjoy working in. This is a more difficult path but it is the only one that will actually take you where you want to go.

  • Non Apple headphones with Ipod Nano - 6th gen

    Hi All,
    sorry for my silly question, but Im new in the AppleWorld. I have a brand new Apple Nano 6th gen and noticed that, if I use a regular (expensive!) headphones that I usually use while running, the sound is very disturbed and even the radio cannot play properly. Once I plug the apple headphone (the standard ones, sold with the ipod) everything turns back to normality..
    Is it true?
    Is there a chip in the device/headphone in order to work properly only with Apple/Apple's approved headphones?
    Please, tell me it is just a joke..
    /ar

    Those type of headphones you mention are usully poor quality and realy are designed for phone use not high quality music listning plus they may be shorting the ipod or are incorrect impedance. If you use headphones for example a set designed with a high impedance the sound will be too low and will mostlikely distort as the small amp circut can't power them correctly.
    I use a set of senheiser earbuds and they sound quite good no distortion at all I also tried my budies ultimate ears all sound fine no distortion.

  • We are a creative design studio, we need to use apple mac pro server , so we can make more than a different user to use at the same time doing different activities, on different screens, is it possible?what is the max. no. of users that can work efficient

    we are a creative design studio, we need to use apple mac pro server , so we can make more than a different user to use at the same time doing different activities, on different screens, is it possible?what is the max. no. of users that can work efficient.
    Appreciate your support and if possible , how to do this?

    If you want to work with Mac OS X, you need one computer per simultaneous user.
    What you are describing, " Multiple simultaneous logins to a single computer" is not avialable on a regular Mac of any description, unless you decide to use Unix tools instead of Mac OS X.
    Server will happily store files for many, many users and provide them to multiple (up to hundreds) of computers at "near hard Drive" speeds over Gigabit Ethernet. It can make the File Sharing part easy.

  • How does the Apple Headphones with Remote Replacement Program non-return fee work?

    I have a pair of Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic that I purchased a year ago. According to the "Apple Headphones with Remote Replacement Program", http://www.apple.com/support/headphones/replacementprogram/, these headphones are also covered in the program. Currently, there are some issues with my headphone's remote, as it is extremely unresponsive. I don't know how Apple determines the headphone's purchase date, but their online service request page accepts my iPhone's serial number. Is there any way that i could ensure that Apple's willing to replace the headphones for free (E.g. mailing my current ones in first) because the non-return fee is basically its retail price. I do not live in the US so I can't go and exchange at an Apple Retail Store. Thanks in advance.

    I would just bring them into your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and ask.

  • Does Apple iPhone 4 Dock support answering calls through apple headphone

    Does Apple iPhone 4 Dock support answering calls through apple headphone? or is the audio out just a simple audio out that cannot interact with the headphone cable remote control, e.g. answering calls , skipping to next song as we used to as normal?

    From my experience, whichever one is connected last reigns supreme and takes over.
    When I walk to my car, I have my headphones in, and when I plug it into my car dock (with the headphones still plugged in and music still playing), the music switches from the headphones and pumps through my car stereo.
    Then when I get out of the car and plug my headphones in (with the car dock still attached and playing music), the headphones take over.

  • My audio in jack only lets me use apple headphones

    If I want to listen to music through headphones, they have to be apple. Any others won't work. When I try to use an audio in cord to play music through external speakers that won't work either. I've tried this with three sets of apple headphones and several audio in cords/other brand headphones.
    It hasn't always been like this, and I don't remember it being like this before updating to Mavericks but I'm not confident that's the problem

    Hello MorganOToole,
    The steps detailed below can help get your headphone jack working correctly.
    No sound through stereo headset
    Inspect the headset jack for debris and clean if necessary.
    Connect the headset and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
    Check the volume setting. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down button on the left side of the iPhone.
    If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music on iPhone is not paused. Try squeezing the headset microphone to resume playback. Additionally, from the Home screen you can choose iPod > Now Playing, then tap Play.
    Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPhone with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
    Try another Apple headset (some third-party headsets require an adapter to be used with original iPhone).
    Try a different song or video.
    Check to see if the iPhone alert sounds or other iPhone sound effects exhibit the same audio issues.
    Disconnect the headset from the iPhone and see if sound comes from the built-in speaker.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • Adapter for non Apple headphones?

    Hey all,
    I know adapters exist that allow me to use none apple headphones with the Touch/iPhone, I just want to know which you guys think is the best?
    The Apple, Belkin and Monster adapters all seem to have bad reviews, due to them being bulky and inflexible. Which would you guys recommend?
    Cheers!

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    The +iPod touch+ can use any headphones right out the box, no adaptors needed.
    The iPhone will need an adaptor for some headphones. If you want advice about the adaptors best to ask in the iPhone forums as we don't have much experience of them here.
