Fake from amazon?? So I just received a pair of CX300 (blacks) from Amazon direct that I ordered a few days ago. I opened them up, and they are nothing like the ones I bought for my wife a year and a half ago from a retail CC store.The lengths are slightly different, the cord material on the new ones is shoddy and bends on itself, the size of the housing is slightly smaller, and the jack itself is way smaller. The sound quality is not the same at all either.Has Sennheiser redesigned these to be cheaper recently? Because otherwise I have to assume Amazon direct sold me a counterfeit which kind of sucks. What do I do? Tell amazon and demand a new pair? Just return them and give up?Anyone else have this happen? Fake from amazon??

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.

I just received a pair, and wrote about it here before I saw this. Your story sounds just like mine. Sound is terrible. I wrote Amazon about it. I guess I'll see what they (Amazon) are made of. As what to do. Send them an email. Look for "Contact Us" on one of the help pages.

Just wanted to pass along that Amazon took back the opened package. Others I've listen to didn't sound anything like the crappy ones I received.Amazon has first rate customer service. I'm going to try a different pair from here. Any suggestions?

I purchased mine through a third party and upon inspection they seemed very real and then I gave them a listen and wow! I'm sure they are real, they sound great and I have had so many pairs that I'm glad I got the real deal. It looks like hit and miss and I can't complain as my pair were very very reasonable in comparison to direct from amazon with free shipping. I'm glad to see these posts and forewarning about possible fakes with seem to be circulating. One note, I've noticed the third party who sold me mine no longer sells these.

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.

Wow, so you had to return a fake cx-300 sent directly from Amazon?Yes, I agree that Amazon customer service is first rate, but I am also conscious about my gas price (about 15 mins. ride back and forth from post office). More feedback like this would be appreciated. Thanks Hord Jr.!

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.

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 :-)

Thank you very much for your help!I found the same headphones at the apple store online (for a lot more then here!). They show the PX 100 in two colors (white and black---no mention of a "W") and the picture they show of the white one is the same as here. It is very strange how different the descriptions are, but I'm going to have to agree with you that they are basically the same.Thanks again for your help, JoshEDIT: The Sennheiser site has the same discription for both products: http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite/productdetail.asp?transid=005206 Thank you very much for your help!I found the same headphones at the apple store online (for a lot more then here!).

I just received a pair today, 11/12/14, and I can say with absolute certainty that these are not the Samsung headphones that came with my mobile device. They feel fake and sound cheap. I'm returning them immediately and ordering directly from Samsung. $30 is worth it.

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.

Apparently you and I are the only two people shopping for Bluetooth headphones who noticed that "CCM Accessories" seems to be trying to pull a fast one, by titling the product description in an unconventional way and thus making it less likely that people will notice that they're jacking-up the price by $10 versus some of their competitors? To answer your question directly, after research including Motorola's own site, they are in fact one and the same. The confusion is caused by ONE vendor trying to unfairly separate their overpriced sale of the item from the more reasonably priced competition.

I don't know how I'd be able to tell them apart from fake ones but I have a friend who got there same ones from the mall and ours are identical in appearance and quality. Also since mine completely destroy my Sony headphones that cost over twice as much I'm sure they are real

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 bought mine more than a year ago. I don't remember clearly about the package, but from impression in the quality of the headphone I believe mine is genuine. And I'm the person who use headphone pretty intensively, if mine was fake, I would not believe how it can last for more than one year. Still using it now.The buyers who got unoriginal products possibly bought them from other seller other than JVC but leaving reviews here.

That is something to bring up to Amazon, they post this photo. The ones we sell are real AKG product, and we only know of Q460 model in the U.S.

They are labeled Crucial and preform well. Doubt they are counterfeit as Amazon would not knowingly allow their sale. Manufacturers often prefer not to compete with their dealers who often generate large sales volumes.

If the one I purchased is fake, then Amazon.com better have some explaining to do! I sent a request into LifeProof 2 days ago and they still have not gotten back to me. Maybe the whole thing's a scam. If they tell me that mine is fake, I will be VERY upset, as I bought is from Amazon.com direct, not a re-seller on Amazon. I saw that they sell these at Walmart too.

I can't find any info or pics of these headphones. Is the model number CD450 or MDR-CD450? If you will send me several pics of the original pads and the headphones from different angles, I should should be able to tell you. My email is: zerosava@gmail.com

The ones i ordered from this site are from Bose.Where Bose gets them from? not my concern.

I'm not too sure what point cybertext is making but I'll reply anyway.... I have purchased the "Plantronics MX150 Flexible Boom Headset with 2.5 mm Plug" from the seller "NEWandOEM" before. And I placed another order for the same item from the same seller just now. True, cybertext, the item is NEW. Also true is that this item is not OEM -- or at least I think it's not. The item(s) I previously ordered from this seller are marked "MX150BCAE. I just got off the phone with Plantronic -- and they have no such model number. Nevertheless, these possible knock-off and/or non-OEM versions DO work. And, unlike the other OEM versions which cost $30, these are less than $5 each. If anyone can show me where to find this model in a fancy-packaged OEM model for that price let me know!

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

If the seller is not a trusted reseller then I don't think there's a way to know for sure before purchasing them. What I would do is contact the seller and ask where the headphones were purchased and if there is a refund guarantee first, then once the eadphones arrived to me I'd go online and register them to make sure they're not fakes. This way, if the headphones turned out to be fake you could request a refund. I purchased my headphones slightly used from a non-trusted reseller but they weren't fakes. I simply went online and registered for the V-Moda warranty and everything has been fine so far.
