These look identical to the Soundbot SB240 headphones. Can someone confirm they are different and the extra cash is justified?

I can't speak about the sound both headphones, but the 66 audio headphones are worth the price.

My cousin, to my dismayed surprise, has the Soundbot SB240 upon showing off my 66 Audio. They look the same, they feel the same, they sound the same, they ARE the same. Unless you think the extra pouch is worth it, no the extra cash is not justified.

Same can be said for the Kinivo BTH 240. These are all basically the same design with a few tweaks (like the red color on the BTS). I actually ordered the Kinivo's and just found them to be too uncomfortable, so I'm now trying these. Comfort seems slightly better in comparison, but we'll see how they feel after a few hours.

There are several sets of headphones that look identical. Underneath the cosmetics, they probably are identical. The reason is due to the fact that they are all made to the same set of specifications by various Chinese factories, sold to various international distributors and marketed under various brands. It's pretty common practice today where marketing is more important than manufacturing. If the reported specifications look the same, the products probably are the same.

I thought the same thing, so I emailed 66 audio to see if they were indeed the same. They responded very quickly stating that the Soundbots were knock offs made to look like their product, but using inferior bluetooth and sound components. This appears to be true as these are BT 2.1 and the 66 audio ones are 4.0. One of the main complaints in the comments in these is signal dropping, while the 66 audio has very little complaint regarding that. I suppose you take a chance with whatever you buy when you can't try things out first, however, 66 audio claims that they are not the same, and that they are in fact currently in litigation with Soundbot over the issue.

I've been wondering the exact same thing b/c I received the SB240 headphones as a Christmas gift and by March they had stopped working b/c they would not charge! I used them moderately for workouts about 60-90 mins, 3-5 times per week and I tried several different chargers to try to get them to work again w/ no luck. I'm thinking I will get these as a replacement and hopefully they are of better quality!

The SB240 is only Bluetooth 2.1 and these are 4.0 so they're definitely not the same.

In my opinion, the quality of these units is identical to that of the Bose. Besides, TIC originally invented these "in-ground" style outdoor speakers back in the 80's, so Bose's model is simply an overpriced copy of these.

Yes they are they are first generation studio beats that's why they are 250 instead of 300 the new beats cost 300

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.

I'm sorry - I don't know if they are the same but they really do put out good sound. I really like them. Hope that helps..

They are of (pretty much) the same design and use the same drivers, so they should sound the same.

Are these headphones fake? Becuase these are easily the cheapiest price i have ever seen for SOUL products

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.

Yes, they are. My brother owns a samsung phone and it brought a pair of these headphones. I enjoyed them so much when I borrowed them, that I decided to purchase my own. Comparing both, the sound and quality is the same. Hope that helps!

No these aren't the original. Best bet is to muster up the extra $150 or find a different brand. Most producers don't recommend beats because they don't process the high or low frequencies well. Hope I helped!

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.

In my opinion they are identical in terms of sound. The flat cords seem less fragile and tangle less. In my mind that is an improvement in terms of usability. I bought them to use with my phone. I still use the S4's with my mp3 player. If S4's are still working and you do not need the phone function there is no reason to upgrade other than the cords but that I do not think that is worth it. Best if luck.

I think that you will find that this is a discontinued model. If I correctly recall, I paid $79. I also have a late model Bose, and I can't hear the difference.

The headphones I purchased on amazon (the rose gold model) were definitely legit, and I will tell you this: for the price I am more than elated with their sound performance! The followers who purchase Beats just to fit in or be trendy can have them; because I definitely prefer the DNA's, especiallt since they were the originators when it came to the manufacturing of the Beats! They sound better, are more stylish, and less expensive than the overhyped Beats!

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.

I looked over the specs and they appear to be the same. I'd recommend going with the lower price is this is the same deal I got on these. I love these headphones and feel they are a best value in this category based on the performance vs value. The Bluetooth connectivity is amazing and I use it all the time. You can use a cable as well which 90% of this style units do not offer. The Boses still have better noise canceling but no Bluetooth model is available.

Hello Tuna,I really cant Compare the two do to the fact I have never owned beats,but I can tell you that, for the price they make great headphone for the gym. I hope I was helpful.
