Hi folks, I just wanted to thank the members here for this thread and especially the pictures. I purchased what I now believe to be obvious fakes on eBay, and shortly after paying around $5 for them, my BS detector started going off and I started Googling. After reading some other pages and especially seeing the picture with the "ring test" here, I emailed the seller not to waste my time if they were, in fact, fakes. To her credit, she refunded me my money, and to be fair I dropped the matter with them then. I since ordered genuine EP-630s from Amazon (and am using them now).
However, I did get a message stating that they'd shipped prior to her refunding my money, so who knows, maybe I got free fake headphones out of the deal as well. If, in fact, they do end up arriving here, I'll post some side-by-side fake vs. real pictures for posterity.
Thanks again!
