Fake from amazon?? So I just received a pair of CX300 (blacks) from Amazon direct that I ordered a few days ago. I opened them up, and they are nothing like the ones I bought for my wife a year and a half ago from a retail CC store.The lengths are slightly different, the cord material on the new ones is shoddy and bends on itself, the size of the housing is slightly smaller, and the jack itself is way smaller. The sound quality is not the same at all either.Has Sennheiser redesigned these to be cheaper recently? Because otherwise I have to assume Amazon direct sold me a counterfeit which kind of sucks. What do I do? Tell amazon and demand a new pair? Just return them and give up?Anyone else have this happen? Fake from amazon??

I really would like to listen more about purchases from those who bought this Sennheiser CX 300-B directly from Amazon.com. Right now I would not even trust the 3rd party seller in Amazon that selles earphones at full price EVEN with 100 % positive reputation. At least guitarsonmars seems to be a lucky guy who got a legitimate product. If more guys show up telling that they got a legit product from Amazon, I would be encouraged to regain my confidence with Amazon (only in with this product), but at the moment it seems to be rolling dices at best. More updates would be highly appreciated. Therefore, plz. anyone who purchased Sennheiser CX 300 write something here.

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.

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?

I purchased mine through a third party and upon inspection they seemed very real and then I gave them a listen and wow! I'm sure they are real, they sound great and I have had so many pairs that I'm glad I got the real deal. It looks like hit and miss and I can't complain as my pair were very very reasonable in comparison to direct from amazon with free shipping. I'm glad to see these posts and forewarning about possible fakes with seem to be circulating. One note, I've noticed the third party who sold me mine no longer sells these.

I also bought them 2 weeks ago and i also bought the same from circuit city and there is a huge difference between them. there is no bass or sound quality from the one's i bought from amazon. they sure are fake. i bought them direcly from amazon with free shipping.

Wow, so you had to return a fake cx-300 sent directly from Amazon?Yes, I agree that Amazon customer service is first rate, but I am also conscious about my gas price (about 15 mins. ride back and forth from post office). More feedback like this would be appreciated. Thanks Hord Jr.!

I just ordered these myself yesterday from Amazon (not a 3rd party) and hopefully I will not receive a fake pair. Did you order yours directly from Amazon and were there any visable signs on the packaging that would help me identify mine as fakes, before i open and remove the headphones from the package? The Sennheiser website has a description of the authentic packaging for comparrison. I also contacted Amazon to see if this problem can be addressed, hopefully before they ship my order. I look forward to reading any future posts to see how Amazon handles this.

It was not a fake. I had complete Sony packaging. I bought the fake later on and the sound quality was terrible. The Sony was great.

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.

thats what made me nervous too. I've been trying to research... klipsch lists them as an authorized dealer on their site i tried calling but haven't had a call back from klipsch to verify authenticity and refund policy incase there is some tom foolery going on.

Try contacting "Avantree". They have a near-exact pair of these head phones, just with a different brand logo, and their website suggest they are a professional company. The company that made these headphones, "Brightech", seem to not have any contacts, almost like they do exist. I think they are a copy of Avantrees headphones, so Avantree may be able to help you on getting through to "Brightech"

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?

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!).

Amazon's price was cheaper than both sony.com and bestbuy.com. If the price has gone up since I got my pair, I can't explain it. Hope this answers your question.

I'm not entirely sure what it's for, Dale. I received both my wife and my headphones in two separate orders. Neither of our orders contained any extra cords. The only things included in our packages were a small ziplock baggy with extra earpieces of varying sizes and the actual headphones themselves.Do they work with your phone? Have you tried plugging it in?One of the other replies was mentioning it was a visual notification for receiving a call. Try plugging it in and having someone call.

Its not fake. I bought a pair from this website. To answer your question about why its cheaper on here, Different co-operations have different pricing strategies.

The headphones are not fake. But they are not the same headphone offered by Amazon.com as Pro beats $399.00 (most current model) They are Monster Pro by beats. They should actually show an M logo on the picture but don't because they apparently want people to think they are just like the model being sold by Amazon.com. The Monster Pro beats have been discontinued. A good headphone but not worth $309.00. They sell for around $200-250 elsewhere.

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

I just ordered these for $352 + $8.45 shipping and handling from 365USA who are an Amazon partner site. You can't find them via Amazon directly, but I found them through this site by typing in "shure se530" on google and they come up at the top (paid search) via "GoSale": http://www.gosale.com/4932054/shure-se530-sound-isolating?gclid=CMO8jfynxo4CFRFoYAod0hKDAA This site shows (at the time of this posting) 365USA at the top with the cheapest price, and that link takes you back to Amazon.com. I looked around for any negative ratings on Google etc and couldn't find any. So I hope to get these Tuesday 9/18.

They are not fake. They are the real deal. I wouldn't have them if they were fake. I don't know if Monster has discontinued them (maybe). I know you can still buy them retail. (For a lot more)I hope I've helped. :-) -Emma

They are labeled Crucial and preform well. Doubt they are counterfeit as Amazon would not knowingly allow their sale. Manufacturers often prefer not to compete with their dealers who often generate large sales volumes.

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.

Yes, they come in a nice quality vinyl bag with drawstring that says SONY on it, lower right corner. If it does not say Sony and the quality is quite cheap then you most likely have a counterfeit fake headphone made in China (Although the headphone will say "MADE IN THAILAND" on the inside of the headband). Buy from Amazon, B&H; or other reputable/quality dealer for the real Sony MDR-V6. Trying to save $20 will most likely get you the fake!
