I can't speak for any of the sellers from outside the US, I.e. Thailand. However, I have bought from the seller "simply beautiful" like 4 times and never had a problem. I haven't heard about fake Feathers on the market.....guess I gotta ask around to find out who not to buy from now. Cid

I don't believe they are inauthentic or knockoffs. They are super-sharp and long-lasting; one must be careful using them!

I got 2 at different times and they were legit. Return if you get a fake? I'm pretty sure you won't though

I believe they are authentic, I have never heard of there being a Mary Kay knock off. Hope this helps.

Really hard to say. If they are a copy, this headset is a beatiful clone. No evidence of fake. Exactly same in sound, touch and shape. I am really satisfied with them.

I've heard there are knock-offs out there. So, buyer beware and purchase mfg products.

Yes, they looked like authentic to me. In fact we compared with other previously bought and are much better.

Yes they are authentic. However, I would highly recommend Heartbeats 2.0 over 1.0 these headphones break easily

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 think they're fake because I found my originals. They don't sound the same.

The ones I purchased were still in its original packaging and everything included were not copies or fake. When I plugged them into my IPOD it recognized them right away as Heartbeats. I listen to music loud and when I made the volume just passed half way it warned me about the dangers of loud music on the screen. (Regular headphones do not do that.) They work incredibly well. I hope I have helped you out.

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

As far as I know they are? Are there any discerning marks or noticeable pieces that would stand out? They do look different than the knock-offs I ordered from China.

No way to check that I am aware. When I received mine they were in proper focal packaging and appeared to be authentic.

If you are referring to "forged" as a fake, they certainly are not. I took them to a knife shop recently to have them sharpened and was informed they are authentic.

When I recieved mine, they were authentic. You'll also notice the amazon seller is Ateco and not a third party vendor.

No they are not "knock-offs". I use them in my 2004 Jeep Wrangler and every 2 years I replaced them, due to the extreme harsh environment I subject the housing ( mud, under water, extreme cold due to high altitude and extreme heat (death valley) I have got to know these housings pretty good to know the difference.
