yeah, looking at the sellers comments, i am pretty sure that they both are fake.
even though there is 100%, most of them mention that the products are fake or the positive they list is "prompt refund"
back to choosing between the cx300 or the bass freqs or the Sony MDR-EX71's. any other ones that anybody can think of that fall in about the same price range (on ebay) and are good for bassy music without sacrificing good upper ranges.
cheers
mike

Thumbs down

I should stay out of purchasing directly out of China by eBay. It looks nice, but it's mostly fake.

They both wreak of fraud. Not even sure why you'd ask on the sonys; there isn't even a physical picture of it to prove that the seller actually has them.

Totally, and judging from the buy it now price, they are obvious fake!

shures are deffinately fakes, but if you value your money alot they may be worth buying because they are not bad looking fakes, the shure logo is bang on but if you look very closely at the RE its debateable. the colouring seems legit, and the tips dont look original but hey tips are tips, if they sound ok whos to say you are not wearing $60 earphones?? apart from us on head fi that would guess
