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.

I don't know about other sellers but I got mine from Amazon and it is legit. I love it!

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.

@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.

Thanks for posting this. Because of this I decided to buy direct from Amazon only. Not any sellers I'm pretty sure I have the real one, The only difference with mine is the charger but I don't care if that if fake or not. I know I have the real wep200. Plus I got a great deal with amazon like 25.00 don't know if it was a clearance or just a sale. Thanks!

Yes it is the authentic product. I think you can find this (and a lot of other products) at much less then the "list" price. Personally I think it is a way to make folks believe they are getting a really good deal. Though will say this product is well worth the money.

I think it is very important to know this. I have lately received products that were seconds. I probably would have bought them anyway because they were defective in ways that I was willing to accept for the lower price, but there are other defects or substitutions that are not acceptable. Certainly fake or counterfeit products are not acceptable. This is important information to share in order make sellers responsible for their wares --whether or not the deception is intentional.

I left a good review for this product but I did not get a chance to rewrite it. The thing is I am sure- that this product sold by this specific seller is fake- please read other reviews. It is way too runny and something is just wrong. As for the product itself - it is a good product but try to find it from another seller. It seems that this seller sells fake products.

It's not fake. I bought this one for my husband a few months ago and it's great. Plus, it's being sold by amazon, not some unknown person. You can always return if you're not happy.

Make sure you purchased it from a trusted reseller. There are fake ones around.

If it's fake, then it's one hell of a knock off! It does come with all of the "Beats" normal packaging and contents AND they do sound good. To be honest, they maybe but they also may not be. It's extremely hard to tell since Beats don't even make them anymore. It's a judgment call my brother.

Mostly likely they are real. I watched reviews on YouTube and the packaging was the same thing. But I don't know if the seller is secretly selling used ones and listing them as new.

I can't speak to what other reviewers received but I can tell you the item I received a was a Doan's. My advice is to stay away from sellers that are way below the price that other sellers have the item listed at. If the deal seems too good to be true than it probably is and you should look elsewhere. Good luck to you and I hope you find what you're looking for!

No it is a knock-off, that's why it's not $50. The colors are exactly identical but are way less pigmented. But for personal use that's not such a bad thing because most of the colors are very shimmery. Instead of one small swipe with the real palette you'll take 2 or3 with this one.
