I purchased these for $170 off of Craigslists, I have attached 20+ pictures, can anyone tell me if they are real or not. BTW, I registered them for a warranty on Monsters website, and they passed that. I can not verify them however because they have a 7 digit serial number (which is normal, depending on the region it was purchased in), and Monster's website verifies 10 digit serials. Anyways, here are the pics.

I want da whole community up in dis peace!
 
lol jk but seriously I appreciate the input, I need more opinions!

The box looks legit to me. The neck on dre is visible, that often doesn't happen with fakes.

If your set came with properly wrapped Duracell batteries, it should be in the safe-zone. I've seen enough Studios, fake and real, to know that the fake (and usually the "OEM" ones too) ship with other brand batteries, or unwrapped Duracells.

Well when testing them out before I bought them, it appeared that the owner already put 2 Duracell batteries into the headphones, which is kind of suspicious but reasonable, in case he tested them for himself and or others.

I'm going to selfishly bump this ^_^

The thing that worries me the most is that the airline adapter piece does not stick out as much as it does in other pictures O_o

Sigh. More reasons why it could be legit:
 
- Large "antibacterial cloth"
- Full metal 1/4" adapter
- Tone of Dr Dre's face not as dark as on fake boxes
 
Other than that, there's hardly anything else we can determine from the pictures you provided alone.

Is there any other information I can give that would help??

You've already stated in the other thread that you like the sound that's coming from them. Why do you care so much if they're real?
 
Might it be that (like many Beats owners), you consider them partially as a status symbol? 
 
(Yet another reason that Monster is hated: marketing up the wazoo).

i think its real, the fake ones don't have the tm most of the time...

Well I mean I think it is nice to know whether or not I caught a great deal or bought a pair of very nice fakes. Im a very curious and paranoid person LMAO.

1. Hi, welcome to head-fi
2. As you can tell from the other thread, very few people here buy these headphones and the whole community will not be a good resource for your questions.
3. Saying the below sentences doesn't encourage anyone.

Call them... Making multiple threads over the same subject isn't going to be very helpful.  I'm sure there's a number on the website somewhere.  On the other thread I believe someone mentioned youtube videos about finding counterfeit Beats.  I recommend looking at those.  
 
My personal opinion is that IF they are knock off they are damn good knockoffs.  I'm not aware of scammers trying so hard to include some many nifty extras like the 1/4 inch adapter, or the cloth.
