Is an AKG K553 too niche an item to be faked, or should I remain wary of anything from eBay?
I can get a K553 for $199 from Amazon, or for $139 (or best offer) from this eBay listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/402639238688
Is it easy for me to authenticate these once received? The seller seems to be selling stuff from somewhere like a Goodwill or a closeout sale, basically where there's no documentation of the supply chain, and I've never listened to the K553, so I don't even know how to identify a real one by sound. Should I just pony up the extra $60 and buy from Amazon?
I don't see any K553s for sale on the Classifieds here; that was my first choice of source.
Many thanks.
