I think I purchased a fake. The headset works great...it's a real lightweight...it functions well...has a sleek look... There's just ONE MAJOR PROBLEM: IT DOES NOT STAY IN MY EAR. 5 min. tops, then it falls out. It took me a week to figure out how the 'hook' on the ear bud is supposed to work. The 'snap in' ear hook that wraps around my ear can't even keep it in. Unless you got ears like DUMBO, do not buy this headset...
