This is the first time I've seen this happen...the Asian knock-offs of the upcoming/delayed Apple in-ear headphones are available before the actual product. Too funny.

I would imagine that for $14, the sound quality would be mediocre at best. I bought some "OEM" Sennheiser style earbuds/mic when the 1st gen iPhone came out and the sound was horrible.

If you want something inexpensive that genuinely sounds awesome, check these out...
