fake? I notice a lot the the private sellers here are selling this 50 dollar product for 17 dollars. Are they the same product or ripoff?

I just received my headphones from "StashurCash" and I too think I just got ripped off. I haven't opened the packaging yet, but I might just ship them back and hope I get a refund.

I just got a pair from seller "clearav" for $39. The sound is tinny and completely bass-free, so I think I got ripped-off as well. I see they charge a 30% restocking fee, which also leads me to believe these aren't the best folks to be dealing with. I'm going to return them, take my medicine, and chalk it up as another lesson learned.

I just ordered two sets from e-bay. Would you mind telling me who you got them from? I hope I didnt' get dupped.I was really afraid of those .99 ones. I knew those had to be fake but the guy had great feedback and people were snapping them up.

I bought a pair of Sennheiser CX300B's on eBay, and got a fake pair. They look completely real, and don't have any of the signs of being fake that other people posted online, but I noticed one difference (aside from the sound quality): The plastic on the headphones is cheap and shiny, not grainy in texture and slightly rubbery like the real ones. Do not buy these on eBay. The person I bought from seemed 100% legitimate, as they had no negative feedback and had sold a couple pairs of these before. I paid $20 for a piece of useless plastic that delivers terrible sound, and I'd advise anybody not to take that chance. I bought a pair of Sennheiser CX300B's on eBay, and got a fake pair.

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.

I'm wondering the same thing. After my own positive experience with these phones, some friends also bought the same phones. I bought them for close to full price, and they came in *very* retail packaging that was extremely difficult to open, so I'm sure mine are legit. However, the friends in question both bought them for less than $20 from 3rd-parties, so we'll be able to compare quite easily if they're Chinese bootlegs. When they arrive, I'll make sure to post back if they turn out to be fakes.

I had two different friends pickup CX-300's on my recommendation. Both opted for the < $20 retailers, and both ended up with fakes.Generally speaking, if you bought them off eBay you can bet that it's a counterfeit, which I've begun calling "Fakeheisers". These are good knockoffs; unless you had a pair of real Sennheisers to compare them with it'd be hard to tell the difference in appearance without disassembly. The sound though, is far, *far* inferior to the real thing. If you want Sennheiser quality, buy from a reputable dealer. If you try to get the lowball deal, you might as well go for any old generic Chinese phones instead. I had two different friends pickup CX-300's on my recommendation.

Yes. There is a tremendous amount of fake CX-300B from China out there. Anyone selling these for less than $40 is selling the fake Chinese versions. Google "fake cx-300B" and you will see what I mean. I would recommend purchasing directly from Amazon or an Amazon Fulfillment store to ensure you are getting the real thing.

Hi. I've read that there are fakes around on ebay for sure. I can't vouch but the box here and the warranty card, manual, cloth, case - all look pretty authentic to me. The logo cut too looks pretty authentic. If you want to compare to a fake google for sample images. You pretty much can tell straightaway. The box (for fake) is a little like this but seem oversized, the logo cut is clumsy (unless "they" refined it) and the flute do not come with the above warranty cards owner's manual etc. My case is moulded plastic which has maroon velvet, my friend's son's has a case like this one.

If you are paying less then full price you are more than likely going to receive a bogus copy. Mine was scratched and 50% off with no indication it was a bootleg. Good luck.

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!)

I bought mine more than a year ago. I don't remember clearly about the package, but from impression in the quality of the headphone I believe mine is genuine. And I'm the person who use headphone pretty intensively, if mine was fake, I would not believe how it can last for more than one year. Still using it now.The buyers who got unoriginal products possibly bought them from other seller other than JVC but leaving reviews here.

You should ask what ever seller that you are purchasing this from and not post here. I would suggest buying direct from Amazon as you would be less likely to get a counterfeit product.

Do not buy from this person, it is not the original! I would stick to their original site & not try to get cheaper, you just don't know & I am not screwed out of $70 some dollars.

These are Drop Shipped as are most of our products, direct from the Distributor. I was waiting for some answers from them on other issues today but they never did get back to me. So did it come in just a plain corrugated box or in some other manufacturers packaging? I can't imagine, as large and respected as this distributor is that they would ship anything but the genuine article. Maybe it had something to do with the shipping container and the fit. If you just received it and think that it is not genuine or you may want it replaced, do not use it for now if you have any reason to think it might be returned. I won't be able to reach them now until Monday and if need be I can have them call you to explain. I really don't think there are any knock offs or other brands of that product but we can ask them. Are there any other product numbers, embossed markings that may indicate the brand? There is an SKU for it but I don't know if it is embedded in the material or not. Let me know if you want me to continue to verify this and I will get with them and then back to you or have them contact you. Thanks, Bob Sex-Trix

I bought mine from this guy - ZTRide. He claimed that it was geniune but my experience told me that its a fake one. Especially to fake beats, one side is easier to lose than another. its a dont buy to me but quality is not so bad. $176.5 for a fake one. Not happy.

@Ben, what i bought clearly says bought from amazon.com LLC. Do not try to talk generically, a lot of us do research and I make sure even if it is costly i buy from amazon.com only (i mean seller as amazon.com). This one is a white box , though amazon said it is retail and even the box has a sticker with "retail" in it. Also amazon needs to be careful, the way it shows retailers is confusing , there are lot who can buy from cheap knock off retailers without knowing anything.

It looked like a retail package. But, it's faked. Just watch out for this seller. They have mix stock. You'll never know what you are going to get..

Can you please explain what you mean? In what way is this and how do you know it is counterfeit? I'm not being snarky, I'm really asking.

I can't speak for theirs but I'm pretty sure if it's really cheap then it could POSSIBLY be a knockoff. The one I purchased from Mp3carstore checked out as authentic with all the ways to identify a clone. Doesn't mean the ones cloning didn't buy better parts but I haven't had any problems with mine from said seller. But if you want guaranteed 100% "real" I would suggest checking the arduino website for a list of their approved distributors but you will also pay the premium going that route.

50 is the regular price... They was on sale from what I heard.. I'll just wait unless they go back on sale or try eBay or another website.. I know I'm not paying no 50 dollars...
