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.

I just received my headphones from "StashurCash" and I too think I just got ripped off. I haven't opened the packaging yet, but I might just ship them back and hope I get a refund.

Amazon sales may or may not be from authorized dealers, and that may change from day to day, so you need to make sure yourself. You can buy this headphone from the Apple store online, but if you buy from someone else for a reduced price, you may risk getting a fake. Always buy from an authorized dealer at the dealer's price. You can find out on the Amazon site whether a dealer is authorized.

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 :-)

I'm not entirely sure what it's for, Dale. I received both my wife and my headphones in two separate orders. Neither of our orders contained any extra cords. The only things included in our packages were a small ziplock baggy with extra earpieces of varying sizes and the actual headphones themselves.Do they work with your phone? Have you tried plugging it in?One of the other replies was mentioning it was a visual notification for receiving a call. Try plugging it in and having someone call.

I was also curious about this. My friend has a pair of M9 with the 45 degree plug that he got a few months ago, but the pair I ordered has a cheaper looking 90 degree plug, and the packaging is much different. I was unable to reach the manufacturer; the phone number listed on their website went to the voicemail of some guy named Marty with a strange accent. It's not a huge problem, as the headphones still work just fine, but I want to make sure I got the same product I paid for.If I'm able to find out anything else from the manufacturer or elsewhere, I will post it here.

If the seller is Amazon, Apple, Monster Audio or Beats, then they are not replicas.(Beats Pro / Solo2 owner)

Yea, right? I've been watching them for an awfully long time just hoping to get them on a sale and now they are going for stupid money. It's not just Amazon either, I can't find a decent price anywhere. I should've just purchased them before :( I would have to assume they stopped making them. I don't see why though, they are popular. edit. Just looked at their site http://eu.audio-technica.com/en/products/product.asp?catID=6&subID=43&prodID=156 It is listed as discontinued. I guess the question now is what else do they have that is close to the quality and price that these were?

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 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

There is no difference this is exactly the same headphones. What you are seeing is an advertisement placed by a different seller AV something. You will see this from time to time Amazon allows different sellers to take ads out for the same product. They do this in hopes that you will buy it from their site versus the other sites that already have the product listed. Sometimes they change the price but they have to change the title otherwise it would not come up when you search for the Shure's you would just get the main site and there's would be missed. You also have to be careful there are some knockoffs that Amazon doesn't catch right away sometimes you will buy a phony product before Amazon figures it out and pulls the page. Look at the sales rank for the seller if they have a lot of sales that tells you they're pretty safe and reliable.I do not think that is the case here I think this is just a reseller who wants to get in on the game with the legitimate Shure product. Hope that answers your question. Ray

I don't see any authentic PX100 [original/classic] anywhere on the web or fleabay now. If anyone knows of authentic, let me know. and for you who use them, know them, know the competition - what's the alternative?I use mine for live sound - i'm a bassist and occasional guitarist - these work so stinking well with my personal mixer.... incredibly clean, do not color, efficient yet will not clip unless stupidity sets in.

when you click on the who is selling at top of this page, you find tons of sellers, they ALL CAN"T BE AUTHORIZED SELLERS so I went to Sennheiser website, authorized dealers, amazon, click on amazon and it just goes to the amazon website BUT NOT TO ANY AUTHORIZED SELLERS ON AMAZON, worthless help as you ALSO can't SEARCH the names of companies that are listed on sennheiser on amazon, worthlessat sennheiser website, if you click on some of the authorized sellers websites, search for these headphones, they are an average $50 more than the price on amazon, great

Boomphones recently had a sale about 2 weeks ago. I guess amazon didn't change their prices. I'd suggest buying the one at the lowest price.

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.

These are not real Apple headphones. They come in the same container and packaging as real ones, but the sound is very different. Real Apple headphones have a more distinct bass and fuller sound, unlike these ones. Recommend buying them from Apple store instead of third-party sellers.
