Been a few of these posted already on ozb but I don't think ever before at this kind of pricing. Originally thought I was being duped but after some googling note that iBuygou has a really good reputation for supplying the real deal so I thought I would post this so it doesn't get buried behind all the other previous deals.
Unsure if it is the 2.0 or 2.1 version but again looking at google people are reporting that ibuygou are selling 2.1s, but as I just ordered these today can't confirm until I receive it :)
Free (untracked) airmail delivery is provided by iBuygou free of charge to major cities, but given it ships from China probably takes like 30 days to get here anyway.
$15.99 USD for the brown/gold originals. At the top of the page there is an option to change the currency to AUD, which gives you $19.44 AUD for these. A seriously good price at the best of times, and a ridiculous price given the crappy exchange rate going ($19.44 is about 82c equivalent which is great as of 11 Feb 2015).
Silver also available (note the cable of the silver one actually appears to be white and the only silver part is the buttons and the actual earphone part). I personally don't like brown but prefer brown to the white cable potentially getting dirty. These are $16.00 USD or $19.45 AUD.

Happy buying…
They have arrived today, quality is over rated, sorry.
Build quality of them? Exceptional. Packaging, exceptional. Look - pretty darn good overall.
However.
I played back a song on my Galaxy S3 and thought "wow these are so good, I need to switch to flac, maybe? Perhaps that's why it's so hollow sounding??" - nope
The treble / non bass range is just completely hollow.
I have here a several cheap (sub $30?) pairs of classic "Sony MDR-E737" headphones (NOT headset, no Mic)

The sound quality DESTROYS these, just destroys them.
The microphone? Well, it's very very "noisy" no noise reduction, there's a hiss in the air and my el-cheapo blackberry headset destroys that too.
Sorry - but that's how I see it.
I would be willing to put up with a weak mic if the audio was amazing but the only amazing thing about these is
1, cheap
2, build quality
3, how long they take to ship.
Ultimately the quality is not good, definitely not, sorry
Song used "Nightmares on Wax - "Thought So" - fairly good quality MP3 listening specifically to the trumpet / lyrics at the 1:50mark onwards.
