how can u spot a fake? i bought mine for the same price locally through pricegrabber where Etronics was also listed... it seems to work fine, recharge without a problem, and has the SAMSUNG logo on it. but how would i really know if it is a fake?

Well, if you're referring to the $100 price tag, I'm gonna say they're legit. They've been at that price point for quite some time. However, I wouldn't recommend these headphones if you care about sound quality.

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

It depends on the vendor. When I bought a pair from iDeal Xpert, they were fake. But I took a chance and bought again from MyParana, and those were real and new! Over the past several days I haven't seen Amazon itself selling any, but we customers should help each other know who sells the real ones and who doesn't!

Hi. I've read that there are fakes around on ebay for sure. I can't vouch but the box here and the warranty card, manual, cloth, case - all look pretty authentic to me. The logo cut too looks pretty authentic. If you want to compare to a fake google for sample images. You pretty much can tell straightaway. The box (for fake) is a little like this but seem oversized, the logo cut is clumsy (unless "they" refined it) and the flute do not come with the above warranty cards owner's manual etc. My case is moulded plastic which has maroon velvet, my friend's son's has a case like this one.

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

The set I ordered appear to be the real thing. If they are counterfeit, they are very very nice copies. They sound nice and make no squeaks or clicks when you adjust them. Nice headphones.

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.

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

Fake or Not these Beats literally have almost the same quality as the fake ones. The difference is this just has little better sound quality. If you want celebrity headphones I would get the SMS by 50 cent on ear headphones. They are not popular but worth it, the sound and construction is so much better. If you have anymore questions then I'm happy to answer.

It was not a fake. I had complete Sony packaging. I bought the fake later on and the sound quality was terrible. The Sony was great.

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.

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 really would like to listen more about purchases from those who bought this Sennheiser CX 300-B directly from Amazon.com. Right now I would not even trust the 3rd party seller in Amazon that selles earphones at full price EVEN with 100 % positive reputation. At least guitarsonmars seems to be a lucky guy who got a legitimate product. If more guys show up telling that they got a legit product from Amazon, I would be encouraged to regain my confidence with Amazon (only in with this product), but at the moment it seems to be rolling dices at best. More updates would be highly appreciated. Therefore, plz. anyone who purchased Sennheiser CX 300 write something here.

Yes, these are genuine. You are right to ask, though... there are reputable stores that have sold fake versions of these (doubtless they were unaware of their lack of authenticity). I bought one from a popular online tech store at the same time I bought this one. The Amazon one was real, the other was not. I've spent the past 3 hours going over the details... there is no doubt about this unit's authenticity. (and it performs much better than the fake!)
