Almost 3 weeks. But it don't really think the time you ordered matters.
You are pretty lucky, mine is 53days & counting. I'm just hopeful it will be delivered next week

Those AKGs can't be original, they cost way more. I just checked Amazon to get user reviews of AKGs priced around $10, and was not surprised about the many negative reviews, many claim it's fake.

Was expecting same but my colleague had a bundled AKG with her S9 and they sounded exactly alike. Couldn't tell a difference in a blind test.
Some sellers trade theirs for 4k. Highest I've come across is 7k (and that was with a pouch/carrying case which mine didn't come with). Well, I may have been as lucky as year I came across a follow come Sony EX300AP that comes with Z1 phones then. Couldn't believe my luck!

I'll know if its my lucky day again if I come across Sony MDR-EX650AP
or Sony MDR-7550/800ST cheesy cheesy

This bolded part made me laugh like you were dreaming.
Thanks for the insight. Anyway to know the one being sold at slot is original?

I thought so too. Took a photo to that effect just incase "I wake up".
I loved how sturdy the cable was. Its easily viewed from the pic below.
This is another reason why I also loved the AKGs.
Quality sound with sturdy/braided cable. A win-win if you ask me.
I hate when a cable twists up so much and starts breaking thereby exposing the fragile wires it encases. Some become sticky after some weeks of use.


Back to your question, seriously I have no foolproof method because this is Nigeria. Anyone can substitute the fake with the original and repackage it. Heck, the worker there was using Samsung U-level or whatsitcalled. Dunno if he was testing it or he bought it. Not my business at that moment.
I think the best bet is to have a good look at the original from S8, S9 etc before you commit yourself. Or better yet, locate an Official Samsung Repair Shop. They should have them in stock.

I've got the AKGs and I'm quite impressed by the sound output. I had to get thmlem because no one was stocking UiiSiis and Rocks. I wonder how the Rock would sound.

I have heard the UiiSii HM7 and yeah, they sound perfect. Bass has definition. You feel the sublevels especially when you cycle through queued music. Also, the bass note seems to be unique to each music, and not the same throughout the playlist. The mids, highs etc are also unique to each song giving each their own characteristics. And all can be heard without Viper4android doing its thing in the background.

Unfortunately, it wasn't mine so I had to sadly return it to the owner.

I am wondering why Protein0 and co aren't stocking those. Maybe 5 or 10 pieces depending on demand. Anyways, I'll be using my AKGs till then.


EDIT: Slot sells original AKGs but without the pouches it normally comes with. Got mine for 3k...after wasting some cash on Jumia.

You mean the ones sold on Jumia are fake yh? Saw so many negative reviews

You're right about the cable, bought two of these almost 7 months ago, so far so good, both doing great even with the mal- handlings grin.

Lol. Jumia is something else entirely. 8 in 10 items are fakes/cheap imitation of the original. You may think you are getting the original...till it arrives at your doorstep.
You would be damn lucky to get the original except if you have had dealings with the seller before.

Why so particular about 5000mah, you'd be hard pressed to find one. 4k can power you through a day too you know.

The pricing would be okay as they will get their supply from China directly. An extra 5/6k on the cost price won't be bad imo since it will be Xpress delivery

That's a low end phone, no where near the note 5, unless you mean the Redmi note 6 pro (this is essentially a Redmi note 5 too and unnecessarily expensive).
