Please note these do not have the microphone/volume control module. They were manufactured with the iPod touch meaning they lack this feature due to the iPod touch's inability to be used for calls. 

As further assurance of their genuine nature, you may always reference the marking on the cable as pictured stating "designed by Apple in California"
