Counterfeit or real? This is priced so much lower than many places and I know there are concerns with counterfeits which are inferior to genuine Motorola products.Are these real or fake?

I have to agree with the suspicion that some of these are either resold returns, or that they may even be counterfeit (my suspicion of the latter is due to Bluetooth's generally good reputation). Mine (ordered from DBROTH through Amazon) has been a tremendous disappointment and, due to DBROTH's chinzy return policy (restocking charges, no shipping refund) the resulting refund woule be paltry. My old wired headset works much better, but I'll be shopping around for a different model or brand wireless set.

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.

I don't expect that a quality retailer such as Amazon would sell counterfeits for long without getting some feedback, but it's possible that some have slipped by (parts of the headset looked scuffed.) The headset is packed in a clear baggy (not a retail package), w/ the ac-adapter and user guide. I can't get my Motorola L2 to connect to it, so I'm returning it and getting a Plantronics headset that I had lost (and worked great.)

When buying Bluetooth headset, be sure to inquire whether or not it's retailed package or bulk packaged. My experience with Bulk Packaged is that it's scruffed, looks like fake or refurb, and/or doesn't work. A price too good to be true tends to be from bulk packaged.

I purchased this product for my i pad mini from this seller, and I can verify that it is not a counterfeit. I took my i pad to the apple store for tec help and the apple genius couldn't believe that I got a "real lifeproof case for that price". I had to show her my receipt.

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!)

Hi Jake! Where did you buy the fake one? We recommend that you purchase your product from a certified Belkin reseller. http://www.belkin.com/us/counterfeits

The one I bought was a real Motorola item, or at least the most impressive knock-off of any product that I have ever seen.

I got a counterfeit mophie case from a seller on amazon with excellent ratings and a cheap price. the case broke within a month. I suggest ordering a mophie case directly from their website, as a lot of these fakes have been going around.

I bought a pair of Sennheiser CX300B's on eBay, and got a fake pair. They look completely real, and don't have any of the signs of being fake that other people posted online, but I noticed one difference (aside from the sound quality): The plastic on the headphones is cheap and shiny, not grainy in texture and slightly rubbery like the real ones. Do not buy these on eBay. The person I bought from seemed 100% legitimate, as they had no negative feedback and had sold a couple pairs of these before. I paid $20 for a piece of useless plastic that delivers terrible sound, and I'd advise anybody not to take that chance. I bought a pair of Sennheiser CX300B's on eBay, and got a fake pair.

Here are the 4 major ways to spot a fake, luckily mine was genuine. 1.)No hologram or very shallow hologram on the outside of the package. 2.)A stapled manual instead of a bound/glued manual (this is a BIG indicator). 3.)Multiple rubber earpieces, but upon closer inspection they were only one size, not M and L as they should be. 4.)There was also an over-the-ear attachment in the package. Samsung doesn't sell theirs with this. it is NOT an extra bonus or anything like that. In fact, it just said 'bluetooth' on it.

Yes. It is counterfeit. I just received my case today and when the speaker was distorted called Lifeproof who verified that the three serial numbers were fake. It was shipped and sold by Amazon.

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.

My guess is that a counterfeit one would be manufactured better than the original one. So, I really wouldn't worry about it. It took 2 packages of the real ones to make one good working unit.

Hi, you may be looking at an OEM version or a counterfeit version, which is very likely with an unusually low price like that.

LG reflective sticker on box shows authenticity. The coating on the blutooth is shiny. The fake ones are dull. The logo on bluetooth has the perfect LG printing. The fake one appears large and does not seem like the original LG logo (You have to really look at the LG logo to determine a real from a fake) The real one offers 3 sets of different earbuds sizes, and also a warranty card. Knockoffs does not offer a warranty card. Also buy from a seller that has good standings with amazon - the ones that have sold a lot of things (preferabbly in the thousands), and look for 4-5 star rating. Dont buy from 3 and under star rating. Good luck
