Fake headset? - Galaxy S III Accessories

Hi,
I bought a "genuine" S3 headset on Ebay. It arrived, labelled EHS44ASSBE(GH59-10443B), sounds pretty good.
But the cable quality is much poorer than my original pair. The original is silicone, the new pair are cheap thinner hard plastic.
On my original pair, where the wires split, there is a FM symbol on the plastic. Can anyone else please verify this for me?
Cheers.

I'm pretty rough on my headphones because I ride a motorcycle. I've had wires crimp & short out. I've had mic's blown out at high speed winds. So I'm pretty pleased to say that I found a sturdy & pretty good set at Target. The brand is Just Wireless. The cord is reinforced with wire, the jack & mic are made out of sturdy metal instead of the usual cheap plastic. For 30 bucks it's not a bad deal.

Excellent cheap sync cradle for the T-989

I got 2 of these off eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-SAMSUNG...159056?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f0f089010
They are meant for the "standard" (AT&T or International) GS2's but it fits my new T-989 perfectly even with the DIZTRONIC TPU case on it. It probably fits most any device with a bottom micro-usb port on it. It comes with a removable rubber adapter for smaller devices. Not bad for $11 from China. Got it in about 10 days. It's a knockoff of the iPhone Universal base. No audio out ports. Just sync/charge.
i purchased the Original from Samsung only $40, and it comes with extra 1850 mAh original battery with NFC

Any pictures? How long did it take for you to receive it?

Ok, but that is $29 more than $11 and most people don't need a $29 battery and NFC is useless for the most part. Plus it doesn't work with a case. Other than that, GOOD DEAL!!

from the pictures it seems way too tight to fit in with a case
however the original one from Samsung will work just fine with cases, pictures here

Can you post pics of your T-989 w/ TPU case in the dock?
Do you know if the USB transmits audio and if it has a back 3.55mm jack?
I ordered two of the Sinjimoru Sync stands. They're cool looking and lightweight. I removed the two lock tabs on the cable that make the cable stick in tighter. I'm planning on mounting them to something that won't lift up easily when I try to remove the phone. Overall, worth the $22.

Looks awesome but does it tip over easily? looks unstable

The stand you are linking to doesn't charge or sync. That stand is just a holder with no connection directly to the phone. 2 totally different things with totally different purposes.

It fits my T989 with the Diztronics case no problem and will fit any similar "thinness" case. Snug, but no problem. I looked at the D30 case the other day and put them up against each other and while the left to right size are identical the front to back on the D30 is a bit more and my guess is it wouldn't fit. I was surprised when my Diztronic case fit but it did NOT need to be forced, just a slight push. For $11 you really can't go too wrong.

No audio capability, just charge and sync.
thanks I ordered one
They are still tight on the base, and would tip over if you pushed them. They're fairly stable, but it is kind of a pain to use one hand to hold the base grab the phone.
I did fix that today. I went out into the alley behind the loft and grabbed a brick. A few minutes after meeting the dremel and a little bit of epoxy, they're stable.
http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6233/6366960059_565143ef63_b.jpg
That's what the stands look like mounted to the brick, and in the Body Glove Diamond cases. I did play a little with some LEDs and lighting the bases up, since they're clear/black acrylic and the light travels through them. I'm going to hold off on that for now, but maybe soon.
to choking am a bit confuse on ur pic is that just a stand whit out the option of charging or a stand whit charger?
There is a cable that comes up behind the stand, and snaps into the stand. It charges, and I bet you could use the stand for other phones, but I can't guarantee that. I know it works fine with the T989.
Well thx for ur response ill see if i get my hands on one this on up coming week

I would just wait. The only real good item that you will find on Amazon is the Barely There case from Casemate. DO NOT buy the other Casemate cases because they have pulled them from their site because the bottom cut out for the Micro USB was off set. The main thing that I am waiting for are the docks and some good pouches to show up on Amazon. If you want something right now then I will recommend the Klipsch heaphones, they are the best ones that I have owned but they aren't cheap. Of course if you are one of those people who break a lot of headphones then stay away from these. They are the only ones that have oval shaped ear buds, I think that they patented the idea.

+1 On the ear buds. I have the Klipsh Image S4, which are basically the same except for the microphone/button. They are amazing! Audio fidelity is superb for in-ear headphones...

Oh OK then you don't need the Android model because they are they same, I also have the same one as you.
I just bought a PS3 controller, which comes with an HDMI cable, and a MHL-to-HDMI adapter. I also have a USB OTG adapter. Those are some accessories you might consider.

Armband??

I'm looking for a good arm band now that it's spring, any recommendations? I've seen a few on ebay but don't know which one is good or not and if they are sweet proof.
I just ordered a tune belt armband from amazon that is designed for the galaxy nexus. I should have today or tomorrow and I'll post pics.

Thanks let me know how it fits, unfortunately that one is out of my budget but it looks nice
Recieved it today and took it out running. I use a Bluetooth headset so I can't comment on how it works with headphones, but I did wear it upside down the entire time and my phone never moved.
At first glance it looks like it is too narrow, however with no case on the phone it fits perfectly. No problems with using the screen through the plastic. Best armband I've tried.

Looks like the Tunebelt AB85 should work for an E4GT with a TPU case, although I have not tried it personally.

I use the seidio/pt hard case which I think has the thickness of TPU cases and when I first tried it, it was a very tight fit. I got about a quarter of the phone In the armband and it stretched it pretty good, didn't want to risk ripping it.

Too expensive for me. Plus, it wont ship to my country
OP, what do you consider to be GOOD and NOT EXPENSIVE? Shipping abroad to what country - international shipping is not always easy, sorry ! Obviously, nobody is recommending a set of Bose NC for you - I do have a pair of Sennheiser myself & it's great - as headset only, it fits with the slim plug adapter.
There are eBay specials from LG for $10 USD or less - you might be able to find them locally at your location.
I used AirBuds - got a pair with free shipping for under $30 - the washable foam fit universally and excellent - here's link & they are on FB (watch for Black Friday/cyber Monday specials) - it fits in the Spigen Hybrid Ultra Slim black bumper case for the N5.
