Fake or real? By any chance are these real or fake. I ask this because i have many friends who make the mistake of buying fake solo hds. I dont want to buy the wrong item and loose any money.

Research the seller Blutekusa and decide for yourself. Everything I've researched about my particular pair indicates they are real.

They are legit. Even if they were knockoffs, I've had 100% work out of 200+ disks so far and data integrity looks good as well. Personally it wouldn't matter to me if they were knockoffs with that record.

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.

Yes they are authentic. However, I would highly recommend Heartbeats 2.0 over 1.0 these headphones break easily

The Clarasonic that I purchased was unopened, in original packaging and verified as real? I read the reviews regarding counterfeits which made me very reluctant to make a purchase. I decided to make the purchase and as soon as I received it, I immediately contacted Clarasonic to register my Mia2 and spoke to thenm about counterfeit units. they went thru a series of identifier for counterfeit units. i gave them the serial numbers and they registered it with no problem. My sister also purchased a Mia 2 and had no problem registering her Mia2.

Here are the 4 major ways to spot a fake, luckily mine was genuine. 1.)No hologram or very shallow hologram on the outside of the package. 2.)A stapled manual instead of a bound/glued manual (this is a BIG indicator). 3.)Multiple rubber earpieces, but upon closer inspection they were only one size, not M and L as they should be. 4.)There was also an over-the-ear attachment in the package. Samsung doesn't sell theirs with this. it is NOT an extra bonus or anything like that. In fact, it just said 'bluetooth' on it.

Hi Vanessa, Yes they are real. The company is based in Del Ray Beach, Florida. I own these. They are excellent quality. To be honest, charging the headphones and the dongle is a pain (you need separate connectors for each). I would recommend buying the one of the Bluetooth versions. That way you won't need the dongle. Also, Bluetooth technology has come a long way and the audio quality is almost indistinguishable from the lossless technologies that require dongles. Better yet, wait for the Beats headphones that will have Apple Airplay (will sync to your iphone effortlessly)! I can't wait until Beats starts incorporating more apple support features into their headsets! Hi Vanessa, Yes they are real. The company is based in Del Ray Beach, Florida. I own these.

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.

if your headphones say "solo" but they are wireless, they are fake. real wireless headphones will say "wireless" on the side

The ones I purchased were still in its original packaging and everything included were not copies or fake. When I plugged them into my IPOD it recognized them right away as Heartbeats. I listen to music loud and when I made the volume just passed half way it warned me about the dangers of loud music on the screen. (Regular headphones do not do that.) They work incredibly well. I hope I have helped you out.

Did you somehow break these? I would definitely recommend reaching out to Klipsch. Most likely wear and tear or accidentally breaking these seen covered but it never hurts to ask and be honest about it. I love these headphones id be devasted if I lost or broke these. Luckily you could typically find another pair for under $100

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

These are real in fact, i bought them and they have amazing bass and clarity, better than the monster dna, vektr, diamond tears, and inspiration headphones, and if you buy them refurb they are like 125. Buy them, you wont regret it. I got them refurbed from Rocket Service, they were like new. The only thing was the packaging. Or buy them new from here or walmart. :) Happy Shopping!

If you got them through Amazon, you're most likely ok. But there were (at least in the past) a LOT of counterfeit Monster Turbines (regular, Gold & Copper) on the market.The biggest tell-tale sign of the fakes is a recessed grill. You'll find some images here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/512386/fake-monster-turbine-pro-copper-comparing-real-vs-fakeBTW, congrats on your purchase. Assuming these are genuine, these are about the best IEMs you can buy, for any price :-)
