Are these fake? I'm hesitant to buy them because they aren't from Amazon directly.

These are not fake, but Electronica Direct and AV House and others are not authorized retailers according to the manufacturer, so they come with NO MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. Given that you can get the real deal with a coupon on the manufacturer site soulelectronics.com for about ten dollars more this is a bad bet.

Any product that is fulfilled by Amazon is authentic, but as another commenter pointed out, warranties may or may not be applicable. Always check warranty status before buying!

Yes. We've ordered several pairs via Amazon over the past few months. They're absolutely genuine and a terrific product. Enjoy!

No there are not fake. Awesome sound quality. They were not THAT much cheaper than ones in the store. Which by the way are super difficult to find. All I can say is I'm very pleased and good luck.

It is NOT fake as long as you buy it from the right seller, I recommend Amazon directly.

Mine came from Amazon, but from a different company. Therefore; they are not the same. The picture is different. I sent them back and they re-sent them to me. Very unsatifised.

If the one I purchased is fake, then Amazon.com better have some explaining to do! I sent a request into LifeProof 2 days ago and they still have not gotten back to me. Maybe the whole thing's a scam. If they tell me that mine is fake, I will be VERY upset, as I bought is from Amazon.com direct, not a re-seller on Amazon. I saw that they sell these at Walmart too.

I bought a pair that were fake on this site, the user refunded the money but never sent me an address to send them back. Buyer beware on some of these and I recommend buying them from the Amazon fullfillment center.

You probably got a counterfeit pair. Only the pro's are "real" and yes they are durable and wonderful!

Not sure 'Sold by Amazon.com LLC" if they were fake the packaging looked for real and they are still working great. My kids got them on almost every day since just after Christmas.

Amazon sells fakes too! I bought mine directly from Amazon.com and they turned out to be fake by every indicator. Poor sound quality, shiny plastic, etc.

Try to buy them from Amazon directly and if you aren't sure they are authentic then Amazon will give a full refund.

hard to tell if they're genuine (remember "if looks too good to be true...") but some that I've (don't know if it was this vendor) had issues, however they promptly made it right so you don't have much risk if any. Just inspect the incoming product and and test it promptly and you'll be fine.

I've read posts that there are third party sellers selling counterfeit Sennheiser products. Did you purchase yours directly from Amazon and not a third party? Just curious.

I contacted Amazon in regards to this. Did not want to spend over $100 and get something fake I cannot even return. Make sure the seller you purchase through IS amazon, not a third party. They will guarantee satisfaction :)

Mines were authentic. I always only buy amazon fullfilled orders. If there is a problem money is refunded as soon as product is returned via shipper. Especially when using Prime.

Yes, these are genuine. You are right to ask, though... there are reputable stores that have sold fake versions of these (doubtless they were unaware of their lack of authenticity). I bought one from a popular online tech store at the same time I bought this one. The Amazon one was real, the other was not. I've spent the past 3 hours going over the details... there is no doubt about this unit's authenticity. (and it performs much better than the fake!)
