Default HELP! Is my pair of Shure SE530 fake?

Hi everyone.

I bought a pair of Shure SE530 off ebay recently for $350 (including the PTH module and 'premium' accessory pack) and they arrived a few days ago.

A friend of mine who works at an electronics store told me (just after I'd paid for them) that they were probably fakes

What I wanted to know is what is the likelihood that they're fake, and if there's anything I should look for to determine if they are or not. Or for example, any tests I could run.

I've already been to a store but they don't have the SE530 available for demo (and they couldn't locate their SE420 demo pair).

As for sound quality, to me they sound great; however these are the first pair of high-end (and noise-isolating for that matter) earphones that I have purchased.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

PS I live in Australia.
