it seams like misleading information, the brand listed is Bose, but it doesn't look like original one. SO is it original or fake Bose?

The trade mark name on the packaging is StayHear. They are shaped just like the tips that came off my original Bose headphones and work very well.

I think these may be counterfeit, or if not, certainly refurbs. The two I ordered were scuffed up and the one I tested didn't sound too good on eithe end. I sent them back and ordered a different brand. I agree with an Gordon that Amazon is a very high quality Web retailer, and I don't think they knowingly misrepresented this product. They were great about the return...sent me a pre-paid label and everything.

Not sure, chat with Bose on their website and they will tell you exactly which one to buy.

Forget it , it's a kind of chinese copy and has nothing to deal with the original, I bought one and returned it 2 days after. This model PRO-4AA is out fabrication since a long time, try to buy a second hand one with ebay the sound of the original is wonderfull and it's my favourite headphone, it's not so comfortable for the ears but it's nothing regarding the quality of sound.

The one I got was from MP3Car store, and it was the genuine board. At work we received four units that were not. I did not see the invoice or the box and don't know just who fulfilled it. MP3car store tells me that they have ended commingled stock to avoid this problem. I would send back anything that was not genuine as they usually have bad solder joints and should be much cheaper. One thing to buy a knock off, but to pay full price is robbery.

Based on the ad which states "this is a after market monster replacement audio cable for solo beats studio"....the key is the phrase "AFTER MARKET" which means product is a knock off, not an OEM or original part.

I purchased mine from "Two Way Radio Wholesaler" who is supposed to be an authorized distributor. It works fine and came in a bag that looks to be official, but it does have the "EVO Q.C. Passed" hologram sticker on the package that is said to be a sign of a fake. The base has the "Nagoya" name on it in raised letters, but the "A" next to the "N" is not the correct font. I'm not sure what is authentic on Amazon anymore; they let all these dang Chinese sellers peddle their knock-offs all over the site. Basically, good luck on that one, but for $10 what can you expect I guess. I purchased mine from "Two Way Radio Wholesaler" who is supposed to be an authorized distributor.

I think it is a fake, it cuts in and not as music is playing. I have had it a week

Amazon sells fakes too! I bought mine directly from Amazon.com and they turned out to be fake by every indicator. Poor sound quality, shiny plastic, etc.

No, it is not. Bose sent me an open box, and I have been trying without success to request a return. They will not respond. Amazon won't help, either. The alarm is unreliable. I overslept twice. I set the CD player to sleep after 90 minute. I wake up several hours later and it never shut off. If the music is on low, it sounds muffled. It only sounds good on high. Not worth $500.00. Especially when you can't return it! I will never buy Bose, again!

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.

No they are not a knock off they are official headphones by Ludacris. The best investment I've made.

I ordered some that are just like this, though from a different company, and for less. I will say, that mine looked exactly the same upon arrival. They are real BEATS products, but they do not come with a box. The small white tag that is on the cord in the pictures, shows the CE logo. Well the other side says HTC. These would be head phones that were included with some of the HTC phones with Beats audio, but the phones are not selling and people seem to have gotten their hands on the leftover headphones that were packaged for those phones. Moster/Beats can not sell them as new, because they shipped them to be packaged with the phones. I ordered some that are just like this, though from a different company, and for less.

Mine is the OEM version. It has the plastic business-card pocket like you mentioned: originally this came filled with Bose cards to give to anyone who inquired about the headphones. On the opposite side is a small knit-type pocket with a zipper to hold the wires. If you have this compartment/pocket, yours is OEM, too.

most likely it is fake. you can ultimately tell by the sound quality. if the music sounds hollow,like listening to it through a tin can and doesn't have a full sound,then it's fake. hope this helps

There are plenty of videos on YouTube to distinguish, which are fake. It's pretty easy...different box, different cord, different images and sound quality of course. I don't think amazon would like to sell counterfeit products so if it does by some odd chance turn out to be fake, send it back immediately and inform amazon, also take pictures of the box and the product and send it to beats informing them what had happened
