Might be a rip off but the copied ones dont work... or if they do they break in 5 seconds.

Because Apple!!!  :smiley:

Same with cables. I've bought loads of eBay cheap sh*te and then bit the bullet and bought a 2m cable from apple. The eBay ones last 4 weeks. The apple one is still working.

I am also after a HDMI to lightning cable but hoping to find lightning to usb and hdmi .... That'll be about £40 then !

But then i love Apple Stuff .... Next computer will be a Mac PRO some time next year .

Apple can suck my plums. Their stuff infuriates me like nothing else I've ever owned and I'll never make the mistake of buying any more of it!

Without getting into the Pro/Anti Apple discussion. I have had the iPhone from day one and never experienced major issues, when I have Apple have replaced the handset FOC. My 17" MBP is nearly 4 years old now and is still by far the best Laptop I have ever had

You're okay with genuine apple stuff, don't by ebay "genuine honest guv" stuff :)

Same for most Tech stuff TBH . Copies of Tech are really good when it comes to looks . Quality is poor and you soon find out they are fakes . The Fakers and their outlets get away with it as people do not generally have the real thing to compare the fake and real items side by side .

I'd be pro apple most of the time and their support is typically fine although my 5S has had the battery swell and now fully charged it won't even last me 8 hours of infrequent use from what they say is using non genuine leads for charging. Again coming back to cheap eBay knock off leads!

@garrardrj I'm between minds about your headphones and the powerbeats 2. Any thoughts?

Fortunately for me my son had the Jaybirds for me to try , the bass is better than most in ear headphones i have listened to . I have several corded pairs , these compare with my Shures with a bit more bass . I am well impressed with them . I was going to get a pair of Bose QC20i's but £260 was a bit steep and really only for the plane around 6 flights a year ! Still might get them if i find some extra cash. Problem being i have never listened to any yet either .
Sorry i have never listened to or looked at Powerbeats 2

How much were the Bluebuds if you don't mind me asking?

I need a decent set now to pair to the watch for when I go running.
