Sennheiser PX 100, fake or real?
Hi everyone!
I'm planing to buy a Sennheiser PX 100 headphones on the net, but, looking some pics of the product, i've a doubt about the originality of these headphones. Looking at the pics, i understand that those phones do not come with the plastic case, and the box do not has a sennheiser grey plastic piece (that cover the hole where the box is attached in the stands).Does Sennheiser launched a version that comes without the carrying case?Or Senn no longer launched this version and the real PX 100 always comes with the case?Is it fake or real!
Thanks a lot for the help!
ps.: Sorry about my bad english, i'm brazilian and don't have a good english!hehe
Here is the pictures:

Everything looks legit to be except for the fact it comes without a case, I'm pretty sure the px100 was designed to fix in a case. So I wouldn't buy them. It sucks that people do this kind of ********. Sorry dude.
EDIT: Looking at this picture from Newegg, you can see that they are placed in the case and are visable in the package.

looks concerning, did the seller claim they are new and unopened? maybe they are real, but the case was lost, The little grey plastic piece pops off really easily, so that could have simply fallen off.

it's possible the carrying case might be inside the box behind the phones (better product visibility if you are only looking through one layer of clear plastic)

Definitely fake. I can remember reading specifically (might have been on head-fi, but can't find it through searching) that if it comes without a carry case it's fake as Sennheiser has never supplied them without the carry cases.'
EDIT - Found this:

They're fake, the telling is in the two headband pads. They're too thin.

Thanks for the replyes!!!!
Reading so, i'm convicted that those headphones are fake!
Really, the original senn PX 100 ALWAYS comes with the hard-plastic carrying case with the headphones folded in to the case, and both of them are visible when the box are closed. I also noticed that the pads are so thinner than the pads of the legit PX 100, and the plastic used on the blister package have a cheaper feeling than a original sennheiser package.
Searching on the net, i found this thread from fakeheadphones.com that says about those fake Senns PX 100:
fakeheadphones.com » Blog Archive » Are You Happy To Recieve A Pair Of Counterfeit Sennheiser PX200
After that, i've no more doubts!
Thanks, one more time!

I have a used PX200 that I can sell. The feux leather had degraded so I peeled them off. Now the pads look like felt cloth. The inner section of the pad isn't glued anymore so you can peek at the foam. They feel comfortable and still sound like new. These pads are replaceable anyway. PM me if interested.

If they claim that they're sealed NIB, and they still don't come with a case, they're fake.

Definately fake. I have the original box, and you can see the plastic case.
