focalprice.com dropping "sennheisers"?

I ordered one of their sennheiser cx300 phones (fake or real, who knows) about 3 weeks ago and not having received it, I've been at their site trying to figure out how to send an email (probably a waste of time) and it appears they no longer have any senn phones for sale. I guess I need to contest the paypal charge now.  Has this happened before? They still seem to have some other obvious fakes like the EP630 and some monster products.

 

I also noticed on the email receipt from paypal, no description of item.  Some kind of tactic when doing fakes, perhaps?

They already shipped your order? Normally you can monitor status inside your account.
I think by most stuff they got isn't really in stock, kinda ridiculous. About email, you have to use their ticket system in order to ask them anything. Hope this help.

CX300 on Focalprice is almost always fake, just like any other Sennheiser they have. Their shipping is also known to be very slow too, and that has nothing to do with real vs. fake.

Well, I recieved my "CX300" today.  Turns out they sent me a pair of CX500, no quotations.  These are real and sound great.  Unfortunately, the volume control was buggered.  The package looked old, lots of scuffs and such, but one channel kept coming in and out so I decided to just cut out and dispose of the volume control.  It took about an hour under the magnifier to properly solder everything back together, the key is to cook off the enamel covering the ultra thin wires with the iron, but all turned out fine.  Very nice purchase for about $15.  I also have the MEE CW31 and M9, these are quite nice, not as much bass as the M9 and very detailed.  I'm a fan.

****!  It appears I have the two symptoms of the originals, upper wire coming undone on the volume control and uneven sound, the left appears to be slightly less volume than the right.  The fakes probably don't exhibit these issues, **** those Chinese, why didn't they send me a pair of fakes like I expected?!
