So I just joked around and said "I get them from Sennheiser for $190 each" and immediately after my response I got a reply stating "I can offer you $170/unit, Thanks."

So all of sudden I was very intrested ,and I asked "what else can you offer me?": (Here is the list I received)

Brand Name/ Model / Minimum order / Price per unit

Sennheiser / CX300 / 100 / $14

Sennheiser / CX300-II / 100 / $16.80

Sennheiser / CX400-II / 100 / $20.25

Sennheiser / CX400-II G4 / 100 / $21.95

Sennheiser / CX400 / 100 / $19

Sennheiser / CX500 / 100 / $20.10

Sennheiser / CX500 G4ME / 100 / $21

Sennheiser / CXOMX80 Sport II / 100 / $28

Sennheiser / PMX80 / 100 / $16.80

Sennheiser / cx299 / 100 / $28.80

Sennheiser / IE6 / 30 / $70

Sennheiser / IE7 / 20 / $108

Sennheiser / IE8 (no box) / 20 / $140

Sennheiser / IE8 / 20 / $170

Ultimate ears (UE) / UE700 / 30 / $140

Ultimate ears (UE) / UE5 PRO / 30 / $139

Ultimate ears (UE) / UE10 PRO / 10 / $190

SHURE / SE530 / 10 / $220

Then I get another email from this person saying "I will only sell them (SE530, 10PRO, IE8) to you so you will have very competitive price to get more customer for us."

So I asked this person where are you getting them from? and what about the warranty......and the reply I get is "These IE8 comes with 3 month warranty from me and then 1 year warranty from sennheiser, I got them from a sennheiser distributor from UK"


------------------------------------------------

So I was taking this issue very lightly and not bothered about it because I know that this has to be fake stuff (because Sennheiser gives 2 years warranty). But what bothers me is the fact these people are getting stuff for really cheap??? (but from where???....manufacturer in China???)

Any thoughts on what my actions should be. Nothing bothers me more than seeing FAKE stuff. People work really hard to enjoy good things in life (and obviously everyone wants a good deal), but these people seem to take advantage by making the price ever lower and when one buys these items he/she gets really irritated for acquring fake stuff and losing money.

Please let me know:
1) What should be my next step?
2) What are your thoughts about this fake items in the market issue?
3) Is best strategy to pony up and pay????
Please stay away from this seller, as there is clearly confusion about product integrity. If the pricing is too good to be true, it generally is. Sennheiser dealers are not permitted to ship Sennheiser goods outside of that particular region, so this immediately raises a red flag. Please email me privately so we can investigate: epalonen@sennheiserusa.com

Thanks.

I just received my IE 8 from a seller on amazon, i want to know if I give you the serial number on the box you can verify if the item is genuine or not ( or trying to register the product on the sennheiser website) , with that info i could take a desition and return the item and then buy from another place or just stay with them if they are originals. Please i need your help. thank you!!

Buy a cheapest sennheiser they offer for 14 bucks and tell us if its fake or not. Do not tell them your credit card number directly. If its fake you can sue them and get a genuine cx 300 headphones for free.

He's got his feedback by pressuring those who have done over to leave Positive feedback before issuing a refund...

I am looking at my box - there is a second sticker next to the barcode - it states ser0411XXXXXX

 

These came from Amazon - my fakes did not have a serial number sticker - I imagine the real ones should have a serial number sticker on the box - there isn't one on the IEM itself.....
