Maybe you can just use a free photo hosting site. IMGCentre.com is a great host. I know the guy runs it :) There's even a firefox add-on to quickly upload photos.
 
Thanks.


Thanks for the tip, I uploaded the pictures there as a temporary measure until I get a new webhost :)

Thank you for uploading :) Now I'm sure mine isn't fake.
 
edit: I have uploaded the photos to my personal webhost which should be faster than imgcentre if you want to use them.

Got mine off Beach Camera, refurbished for $56. Asides from only bringing some warranty cards and the real cloth pouch inside a generic brown box for shipping, they look exactly like the real ES7 images.
 
They sound pretty damn good, and look good too. I'll never know 100%, but they look and sound great, which is fine. Beach Camera is also authorized, so I don't think they'd fumble the ball like that...
 
edit: I don't know if this is limited to the whites (I bought the dark ones), or if this image is showing REAL Es7s, but can all the people here with real ES7s (the dark ones) let me know if the piece that combines the left and right wires into one has the AT logo, like the picture below (posted a few pages back)? I only have one logo on the plug itself, and not the middle piece...
 
Another thing to note, though the cloth pouch in the image seems real, the font on the sticker doesn't look like the real A-T font. Mine looks like the actual font AT uses...somewhat bolded, and less spaced. like this:
 

 

 
In this case, I think the user who bought these white ones have a fake ES7 (not to mention he bought them off ebay).

i agree, i definitely think the bag you posted is a fake.... also, the rough rubber on that Y-connector is suspect (mine is almost completely clean) and i've never seen the AT logo on the Y-adapter like that, unless its a white version only thing.

Yeah mine is clean as well. That one looks all chewed up, and mistreated...

Hi!
I'm going to uk this summer and I want to get a pair of these when I'll be there (there is really huge difference between prices here in Poland and UK), but I'm having trouble with finding a cheap and safe shop.
I've read few opinions about http://iheadphones.co.uk/ shop, but most of them weren't positive (it's good if you get working pair, but if something goes wrong, their customer service is nonexistent).
 
Should I try and trust amazon.co.uk or what would be your alternative (in UK)? - Can't really go and buy from some shop in the USA, because there is great chance I'd have to pay the taxes etc.

I hope I'm not necroing this thread, but are there any legitimate/reputable sellers that still has these in stock?



 
i've seen a couple of black ones on amazon a few weeks ago.  there's also still a lot available on ebay although I personally wouldn't buy something this expensive on ebay :D
 
white ones, however, are a different story.  I started looking for them last month to buy them for a present and most online stores I checked didn't have them.  I ended up buying from audiocubes.com which shipped from japan and which I ended up having the worst online shopping experience ever.  basically I ordered a set of white ones and my order was on hold/processing for about 2 weeks for no reason before they actually shipped it.  shipping only took 2 days thankfully (received it last weekend).
