I got this off ebay for $50 since I'm in Canada and the selection/price for earbuds aren't good. It sounds pretty good, the bass is nice. The package I got it in looks authentic, I had to tear the perforated section on the side to open it. I hope they are real.

I have an oily face but I don't think my ears are too bad. Even so, for a premium set of earbuds, I hope this isn't happening to a lot of people... whether quickly or over a longer period of time.

I recently bought the Klipsch S4 earbuds and the logo "Klipsch" has basically worn off. I've had it for about a couple of weeks, using it for about a hour or two a day during that time. Is this normal? Have other people experienced this?
