driver cover of the real EP-630 is of silver color, and it is smooth and
rounded, but the fake has a 45 degree angle.

Something about the sound
What’s the use of something that does
something that it’s not supposed to do?
The main use of the earphones was to
produce good sounds right?
But unfortunately the fakes aren’t
designed to do so. The right ear bud of the fake pair usually turns out to be
fakes. They sound quite uneven. If you push them further into your ears, you
hear a scrunching sound. In some cases, no sound can be heard from one of the
ear buds of the set.
If you want to hear clearer and sharper
sounds, spot the fakes!
Appearance of the fakes
Fakes?? Which one?? Ha ha! Clearly
visible!
Small ear buds from the real pair are
quite larger than the fake pair.
The real one: has a silver driver cover
and grill. And the driver edge is rounded.
The counterfeit set: has its grill glued
to the inner wall of the earphone. Also, the grill is darker than the one on
the real stuff. Its driver case is edged.
The ear bud lip on the fake is squared.
On the right, you can see the ear bud lip of the genuine set, which has an angled
edge.
And at last, the cords are of the same
length on both sides of the genuine set.
