I'm well aware that the cushions from the *Bose* page come from Bose. The problem is that Amazon is presenting some other cushions, sold by Maxinity, as if they were the same thing--the product pages are obviously linked.

They are shipped directly from Bose Corp. Official product, complete with replacement liner as the original gets oily and collects dust. Worth the extra price paid.

The ones i ordered from this site are from Bose.Where Bose gets them from? not my concern.

The product page said they'd be shipped from Bose and would cost $35. What arrived was shipped by a third-party vendor and cost about half that. I presume they are not genuine Bose ear cushions, especially as the covering came away from the foam ear pad as I installed one of them. I shall be returning them, and have ordered a pair from Bose's own website.

Agreed - mine were shipped from Bose and were Bose ear cushions. The reviewer who said they weren't is either mistaken or perhaps reviewed the wrong product.
317691
As I recall, they were mailed from and came with directions on install fom Bose. Hope that helps.

PS - Note that my earlier comment relates to the cushions sold as Quietcomfort 15 replacements (same product in fact), but the same confusion appears to reign on that product page. The product page referenced in my order claims that the cushions are sold and shipped by Bose, but the order was fulfilled by another vendor.

There are other cushions being sold that are not the exact replacements, I was careful when I ordered to make sure I purchased only the exact replacement. The ones I recevied are absolutely by Bose and were the exact replacments. That reviewer must be mistaken in their comments or accidentally put their comments under the wrong set of ear cushions.

I purchased from 2 different suppliers. Don't remember details, but I posted reviews on both. Quality on both was borderline, but so was quality of original pads ie. thin poorly cushioned. Only difference was one supplier sells one pad at a time and is therefore more expensive. Other sold in pairs so cheaper

If the seller is not a trusted reseller then I don't think there's a way to know for sure before purchasing them. What I would do is contact the seller and ask where the headphones were purchased and if there is a refund guarantee first, then once the eadphones arrived to me I'd go online and register them to make sure they're not fakes. This way, if the headphones turned out to be fake you could request a refund. I purchased my headphones slightly used from a non-trusted reseller but they weren't fakes. I simply went online and registered for the V-Moda warranty and everything has been fine so far.

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.

Thank you very much for your help!I found the same headphones at the apple store online (for a lot more then here!). They show the PX 100 in two colors (white and black---no mention of a "W") and the picture they show of the white one is the same as here. It is very strange how different the descriptions are, but I'm going to have to agree with you that they are basically the same.Thanks again for your help, JoshEDIT: The Sennheiser site has the same discription for both products: http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite/productdetail.asp?transid=005206 Thank you very much for your help!I found the same headphones at the apple store online (for a lot more then here!).

The bulk packaging, to the best of my knowledge and experience as a buyer is really transparent to you, the purchaser. The product you are inquiring about came as bulk packaging, but included all the necessities. Think of yourself as purchasing bulk product, inventorying product in a back room, as opposed to the plastic enshrined products that hang on a hook. Same product, different packaging.I might add that this is the BEST remote/Bluetooth earpiece I have used, bar none, including the expensive J _ _ _ bone product. It does not need to rest on cheek nor jawbone, does excellent noise cancelation, and has a long charge.

Sorry, these have a design by BOSE to prevent replacement for a competitor replacement. It is proprietary design and usage.

Amazon always stands by their products third party they have a code that pertains to third party seller's, of course this product was shipped and sold by Amazon so I am sure the international warranty would hold true and if there is a problem Amazon always backs their products. Just to be on the safe side fill out all of your paperwork out like I did send it to the manufacturer. These are great quality audio headphones use them and if your not satisfied contact Amazon before your thirty day deadline for returns is up and get a refund . Amazon is too large a company to be selling junk so no enjoy ,the outside sound reduction is incredible have fun with them I am.

The seller(s) could be shipping authentic or knock-offs... Why not just purchase directly from Bose for the same price and free shipping? That's what I'm going to do... Guaranteed authentic Bose replacements.http://worldwide.bose.com/productsupport/en_us/web/qc15/page.html#tab=accessories_tab

I just bought the headphones hoping the review I read on trustedreviews.com was correct and I also bought replacement fake leather cushions (4.99 + free shipping) just in case it really is made of leather.

did you ever get an answer, Eddy? Im still looking for the cushions that will fit. Sennheiser does not ship from Germany (on their webpage)right now.,Thanks
1896086
Yes, installation instructions do come with the cushions. It is important, however, that you order the correct cushions for your earphones. Several of them look similar but are each different. I had to contact Bose to get the correct ones.

Just wanted to pass along that Amazon took back the opened package. Others I've listen to didn't sound anything like the crappy ones I received.Amazon has first rate customer service. I'm going to try a different pair from here. Any suggestions?

Yea, right? I've been watching them for an awfully long time just hoping to get them on a sale and now they are going for stupid money. It's not just Amazon either, I can't find a decent price anywhere.I should've just purchased them before :(I would have to assume they stopped making them. I don't see why though, they are popular.edit. Just looked at their site http://eu.audio-technica.com/en/products/product.asp?catID=6&subID;=43&prodID;=156 It is listed as discontinued.I guess the question now is what else do they have that is close to the quality and price that these were?

Apparently you and I are the only two people shopping for Bluetooth headphones who noticed that "CCM Accessories" seems to be trying to pull a fast one, by titling the product description in an unconventional way and thus making it less likely that people will notice that they're jacking-up the price by $10 versus some of their competitors? To answer your question directly, after research including Motorola's own site, they are in fact one and the same. The confusion is caused by ONE vendor trying to unfairly separate their overpriced sale of the item from the more reasonably priced competition.

I just received a pair, and wrote about it here before I saw this. Your story sounds just like mine. Sound is terrible. I wrote Amazon about it. I guess I'll see what they (Amazon) are made of. As what to do. Send them an email. Look for "Contact Us" on one of the help pages.
