Are these fakes? At $129.00 I wonder (after i got burned by a really bad sounding pair of able planets that were discounted like this last year).

Also these are not 299 headphones - the x1s are - so take the retail price with a grain of salt

I bought 2 from capital outlet / electronics for 129 ea. great phones - definitely not fake
1529649
No, they are for the real. Ive had mine for several months now, and they are very hight quality. I bought them at $158.

Absolutely not. An excellent set of headphones, still has the $300 price tag on the back of the box. They made these for a couple of years then, like everything else, they moved on to the next model, discontinuing these. Now, everyone is selling them at a discounted price to move old stock. At this price, I honestly don't believe you can find a better set. I'd be happy with them if I had paid full price.Edit: After reading these other answers, I felt compelled to say that these DID sell for $300 originally, do some research. The guys on Head Fi were talking about these when they first came out, and were saying they had paid the $300. Absolutely not.

Hope not, but I don't recommend them since, to my ears they sound bluted , bass is muddy, highs are almost nonexistent, mids I don't even remember anymore since I did not take them out of the drawer for awhile. The only thing I can't fault is their gorgeous design and comfort. But for that money get yourself Creative Aurvana Live 2, they give me alot more satisfying sound and they also look fantastic.

They would be very expensive to fake and not worth the effort. They are now cheap due to the Fidelio L2 which I have owned for a while and didn't consider it to be as as good as the L1. The box and packaging of the L1 is first class, like the product itself. I would suggest going for it. Good luck!
1529653
No. They are real. The region fit the price drop is they have been discontinued. There is a newer version, L2. If you are concerned I suggest buying it only if it is fulfilled by Amazon as they will then "protect" you from fraudulent items.

be very careful just because they come in a nice case with cloth and box dont mean anything! there are sellers who have new without box or case with real dre's. I'd rather great sound than a pretty box and case!

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.

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...

They are bootleg versions, I would only recommend buying them if they are for your child (if you have one) or something.

Really hard to say. If they are a copy, this headset is a beatiful clone. No evidence of fake. Exactly same in sound, touch and shape. I am really satisfied with them.

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=CMO8jfynxo4CFRFoYAod0hKDAAThis 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.

I contacted Amazon in regards to this. Did not want to spend over $100 and get something fake I cannot even return. Make sure the seller you purchase through IS amazon, not a third party. They will guarantee satisfaction :)

Hello Sindy. When I bought these speakers I paid 142.00 each. That's a total of 284.00 a pair. But from what I have read I stole them.

I received a pair of them. At the time it was a bit over three hundred dollars with shipping. I have not seen the listing as it now stands, nor the seller's name you're considering buying from. But I should think that, if it's in the three hundred dollar range with shipping, you should get a pair. If it's half of that, I would suspect a single. The pair I got are worth what I paid for them. Very good value.

The pair I received for $130 are real...most are used and these are discontinued because the studio 2.0 are out now...with all tech prices eventually drop as upgrades flow into market

I got mine here on Amazon for 230.00. I would not pay 400.00! It would be nice if everyone would price them fairly, I laugh when I see them priced 2 to 5 times what a fair price is. Must be looking for stupid buyers.

If you get em from amazon, they're real. I have a pair myself, and they work just fine.

i dont think these come in fakes i ordered mine from ebay from a trusted seller. i doubt they sell these headphones in a fake form http://www.ebay.com/itm/190660899741?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 do you think these are fake from this guy

No they are junk I re-sold mine a few days later.sry to discourage you but I don't wanna see u waist ur money :)

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 :-)
