I once read a report on earbuds a few years back. Once a year (twice..three times..i dont remember) chinese earbud manufacturers create new models of earbuds. Major retail companies view these models, and decided on which ones they want to brand and sell. More than one company can select each model produced that year.
The manufacturer just slaps a different color of paint, maybe a different shell on the earbud, and there ya go! BUY SONY'S NEW 301X EARBUDS! TOTALLY NOT THE SAME AS PANASONIC'S CLASSIC 103Z EARBUDS!
