Are these genuine Taiyo Yuden product or knockoffs?

That's what it said on the label . I have a Funaui dvd recorder they work with that.

I'm afraid I can't say. I don't remember what seller I used when I last ordered them. If your not ordering from Amazon I suggest you purchase them from a seller with excellent feedback and lots of it.

These are genuine. I burned a ton of software disks with these and they were all great

The Taiyo Yuden that I received seemed to be genuine. 200 out of 200 were good. I had problems with Verbatim a couple of times in the past with about 30-50% being bad discs with burn errors. Those Verbatim had been bought locally. I usually have 99.99% good with Verbatim. That was why I tried the Taiyo Yuden. I now suspect that the bad Verbatim discs where knockoffs and not genuine.

These are genuine and I've never had a problem with them -- been using them for a couple of years. With a magnifying glass I think I once matched the I.D. number around the center hole to a pure Taiyo Yuden dvd pack I had bought before. JVC is also stamped near the hole. On the label you see in the picture it says "Joint Venture of Taiyo Yuden Co. Ltd". Hope this helps.

they are supposed to be the same . JVC owns Taiyo Yuden now. I have used Taiyo Yudens for many years now and I haven't found a difference yet.

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.

Yes, they are genuine. I bought several sizes and all were perfect. Much cheaper than the competition!

I really can't say if the are genuine or not, but I can say they work very well. Also, like you I had some fear whether I would get 2 or not. I ordered "2 pack" and got 2. I have found Amazon to be quite reliable. Enjoy but keep dry.... Don

I'm not sure I can completely answer your question, but we have a set of these and love them. They are a great conversation piece anytime we use them with friends and family. Ours arrived in a box that appeared very legitimate, but I'm not sure if they're a knock-off or not. I know I've been really happy with them over the past 6 months and none of them have broken and we use them multiple times per week.

yes they are been using these for years best ever and all have held up, make sure they were produced from japan they are the best quality and the same ones are also produced elsewhere which don't hold up to the Taiyo Yuden standard

Hi, while I am no expert in detecting knockoff's these seem very legit to me, main reason being the quality. Have had the first set for over 18 months & they are still extremely sharp and look great. On the other hand some Chinese knifes from Target that we had lost their sharpness in 6 months.

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.

You gotta watch what seller it's from. Amazon sometimes just like lumps all the reviews into one product page. If it ships from China, it's probably a bootleg. If it's from Japan, it's probably legit.

Looks like bad reviews come from buyers that purchased knock-offs from a third party seller(s). Be sure to order this one by Amazon: http://amzn.to/1Uhw78E It is about 30-40% more than fake ones but I received a genuine iRobot brand with official packaging and iRobot logo printed on the tags. Quality was exactly the same as the one that came with the robot.

They are not fakes, got one for my stepson last christmas and is still going strong. Really a good deal.

As far as I can tell, it's appears to be genuine and with a Gates packaging sleeve. I've done research before buying these and I don't think it's something someone could copy....

The one I recieved was a genuine Iwata-Medea part. The hologram and everything they put on the package was there. Unless this is a very very good fake it should be genuine.

Absolutely not! These are knock-offs. Much, much, much thinner than the real thing. I am returning.

Most fakes have a blue switch plate with rounded ends instead of the squared ends shown in the picture here. Price will also dictate real or fake. Anything cheaper than $54 is highly suspect due to Hitachi pricing schedule.

they are stamped Motorcraft so I assume that they are the real thing. I replaced one about a year ago and so far has been working fine. I would nor hesitate to purchase again from Amazon. 1 year I thought on warranty but no sure.

No they are not real! Pretty good fakes though. Some of them are great but a few were trash.

To the best of my knowledge they are originals. My hubby and I both bought ours through Amazon and they've worked exactly as promised.
