So since this is only being sold by random vendors and not amazon, there is no telling if you will get a genuine or fake (as neg reviews show) So any reason why you guys are not simply buying the Vello cord, which is higher quality and has locks on both ends ? Plus its even cheaper in some places !

I bought the Pixel 3.6m cord. I would put the build quality at average. The cable is super wound up but I really only purchased the cable so I can shoot vertically with the flash and not end up with sideways lighting. The cable works well for that purpose and you don't have to worry about batteries going dead (if you used triggers). If you are looking for something that will allow you to shoot with a flash for than an arms length or two away from you this is not the product for you. Buy some ETTL triggers ;)

I can only relate to my experience. I bought this cord to give me ttl capability on my Fuji x series cameras. The cord that arrived was a velo cord. I am happy with the build of the cord and it suits my needs. The only downside is that on the fuji's the rubber cover on the cord shielding the connection between the camera flashmount and cord runs up against my exposure dial. Again this cord was made for canon not fuji so it is understandable. A minor nuisance really. The price I found was very competitive, and shipping and duty charges were less than what b and h charges. At the end of the day I would order this again from amazon. I hope this helps.

No. my received item is not genuine and official product. i think, it is one of imitaions. If you have a plan to buy this item, i'm completely opposed to do it. Thanks.

Okay so here's a nice and straight forward answer. IT DEPENDS. Maybe some buyer was being really cheap and wanted to save $2 and bought it from some no name seller and got a water down cologne and hence you see the negative reviews. Buy your colognes from Amazon. You always get the real deal.

I purchased mine from "Two Way Radio Wholesaler" who is supposed to be an authorized distributor. It works fine and came in a bag that looks to be official, but it does have the "EVO Q.C. Passed" hologram sticker on the package that is said to be a sign of a fake. The base has the "Nagoya" name on it in raised letters, but the "A" next to the "N" is not the correct font. I'm not sure what is authentic on Amazon anymore; they let all these dang Chinese sellers peddle their knock-offs all over the site. Basically, good luck on that one, but for $10 what can you expect I guess. I purchased mine from "Two Way Radio Wholesaler" who is supposed to be an authorized distributor.

The Amazon site where I bought them said genuine. The cartridges looked original, but they came in a plastic bag with a typed label, not the original boxes. The magenta went very fast, with no warning. So I'm suspicious. With opinions split, I surmise that the cartridges are coming from different vendors. How do you know which to trust? You don't. Maybe better to buy elsewhere -- preferably at an actual store.

I have not purchased one of these yet, but generally you would need to purchase high-risk items from Amazon as the seller, i.e "Sold by Amazon," not just Amazon "fulfilled," to get a good chance of getting the genuine item.

This is an amazing product, IF you purchase from an ACTUAL distributor. What is posted on amazon isn't a guarantee that you're getting the real thing. It could be a knockoff that could be harmful. TOO RISKY in my opinion.

It's a knockoff. Return it to amazon. I bought two of these a year ago, with one coming from Amazon and one from an Amazon reseller. The reseller's cable was complete junk and an obvious knockoff, not a real Sony product. I'd return it immediately.

More than likely it is but for some reason its more money. I would go with the one I bought. Sometimes the same item can be sold by different people on amazon with different prices.

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.

Thank you for noticing! I thought I was the only one who questioned this. I would never have known if I hadn't tried to order one for my mom's birthday because she liked mine so much. I nearly dropped my teeth when it was listed at $119.00. I checked the next day and it was $249.00! In addition, there was a new seller. It appears as if the second seller bought out the first one. Other sites seemed to have their stock dried up as well. When I bought mine Amazon sold it and I used my prime membership to save on shipping. Seems like someone figured out a dirty little way to scam us. I wonder how many other low profile products are going the same way. I called customer service. I did not get a satisfactory response, so I e-mailed them just now. I hope they take notice.

Yes! I paid $10 more to buy this from amazon as the seller knowing that if something happened or it was a fake they would return it. I registered mine online and confirmed it was the real deal... Some reviewers had received fakes from other venders and could not register it because the product number didn't exisit

Unfortunately, that's the problem with sellers who are just using Amazon as a storefront. If you buy the item directly from Amazon (ships from and sold directly by Amazon), you'll get a genuine product.

A couple days ago (August 2014) Amazon seems to have restricted this listing to just the genuine Bose pads. Before they did, I bought mine from Accessoriesplus on this page. They were $5 cheaper and didn't charge sales tax. I'm 80% sure they were authentic. If you buy the ones that are fullfilled directly from Bose, then you can be 100% certain that they are legit, but you'll pay more for them. The other thing you could consider is buying one of the $7 or $8 pairs of obvious knockoffs. Then you'll have no doubt about their authenticity. I haven't gone that route yet, but plan to next time.

I'm sure if Amazon is marketing and fulfilling the order then there is nothing to worry about. I have heard many stories of fake models out there but I would highly doubt Amazon would be selling fakes. I purchased mine from Amazon so perhaps it was from the same company and it still works like a dream many years later.

You gotta watch what seller it's from. Amazon sometimes just like lumps all the reviews into one product page. If it ships from China, it's probably a bootleg. If it's from Japan, it's probably legit.
