A friend linked me this on Dealsextreme and I was wondering if anyone had experience with this. I'm highly doubting they're real, more than likely Chinese knockoffs like many things sold here, and I assume the pictures are stolen to trick the buyer into thinking they're getting Audio Technica, but on the off-chance these are real, I figure it's worth asking.

a google search on 'fake audio technica ck90' turns up with nothing but this thread...
post #5 of 101/10/12 at 9:27amYea everything on that site is fake, a $250 IEM for under $30 and I guaranty its probably a cheap dynamic and not a dual BA.

Designer + Trendy + Fashion = It is not real.
That website is known for cheap-copy; however, they do sell real stuff when they use the word authentic. Unless you can not find it anywhere else, it's better stray away from those websites.

Lack of the heat-activated foam tips is a dead giveaway

Those are fake. The length of the nozzle is a bit longer than the real one.

Yup, definitely fake. I own a real pair and they look nothing like that.
