Mine is also not that great as the reviews said. It has that chocolate smell which is great. The control isn't working fully with iPhone 5, play-pause works but volume control isn't working on HP Touchpad and iPhone 5. The length of the wire is pretty short so it won't cover 10ft wihtout an extender wire. I found the high pretty nice and clear while the bass is not heavy which is good for me, mid is so-so. May be the sound will be more matured over time. I'm not sure if this is original or duplicate, may be it's not the latest version.
