Why don't they come in normal retail packaging? How do I know they're not fakes?

The battery's came in a plastic case much like a retail container. I have used almost all of the battery's and they have performed great. If they are fake, they are doing as good of job as real ones.

Mine came from "Best Deal Supply" and, like "kenniget" said below, they were fresh and had a long expiration period. They came in a small plastic bag. There was no retail packaging.This is a superior price compared to the retail packaging and pricing.

Mines were authentic. I always only buy amazon fullfilled orders. If there is a problem money is refunded as soon as product is returned via shipper. Especially when using Prime.

Well, Amazon is an official seller of those bulbs for Phillips. I think it greatly reduces the odds of it being a fake. It's becoming more and more difficult to tell what is a fake these days. If you do some digging online, there are some good descriptions of what to look for when trying to spot a fake.

They look genuine to me. Hardly used. I can send mine to you as the problem with my printer was not in the print head.All you have to do is supply mailing address. Cost of postage would be appreciated.

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.

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

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.

The box you see is exactly what they come in, lined up in their little rows, one on top of the other..Is that "retail" ... or is the horrible bubble wrapped crap you can't open what you're looking for?

Mine came from Amazon, but from a different company. Therefore; they are not the same. The picture is different. I sent them back and they re-sent them to me. Very unsatifised.

They are either of the real thing or somebody went through a lot of trouble to make the exact same packaging and to make them function the same. By all appearances and all functionality these look to be the real thing. I was hesitant as well because those older posts worried me. But now after having made this purchase I'm not worried anymore.

It might depend on the seller, do not buy things that come from China or from a vendor that is new. I got the real thing every time I ordered them.

I know some people said these are fake, but I doubt it. The packaging and the product looked legitimate. I'm really happy with mine.

Nope! I got mine a while back and now for certain (Because I've tested them many times.) know that these are NOT Fake. :D

No clue if it is original, Amazon took them back for me since the seller wouldn't. I hope they are checking into the authenticity. I am definitely curious at the very least, and concerned by the amount of people getting faulty products.They came in the bag pictured here, no paperwork and in a plastic zippered baggie slightly bigger than the black pouch

They're not fake. I ordered my pink stippling brush from ulta and the same thing happened :) No worries!
