I called Sennheiser and confirm Dakmart is authorized reseller and if I receive a fake one, they would take care of it if Dakmart fails to do so. That sounds reassuring to me. I tried to buy a refurb through Amazon seller, Adgtron, who claims to be authorized but their name turned up on Sennheiser NONauthorized list. List can be found here >>> http://www.sennheiserusa.com/DLocator/nonauthorizedList.asp
I will be ordering from Dakmart on Monday.
I took a chance and ordered my refurbs from this same Amazon seller and they were 100% real. Red chip, slanted R and L on earphones, numerous tips included, and above all... an excellent sound. I paid $179 a few months back for mine.
