If these aren't real, where can i get some cheap m50's? (Used is okay as long as its minor wear)

Are you serious man..
Don't you ever read reviews before you buy something??
 
The only guy who reviewed after purchase has written the following.
''Although is not the real one but the quality is same with the real. But I don't know until many days the sound keeps powerful''

You can't tell if they're legit or not just by looking at them.
 
So the next step is to look at the reviews/ratings. 
 
But in this case since there's only one review and 4 thumbs up, I say don't do it.
 
Price is too good to be true, lack of reviews, fake M50s popping up everywhere.
 
 
Fake M50s will definitely sound worse than M50s. They're cutting corners to bring
 
down the cost and they're not using the right materials, poor workmanship, quality control, etc.
 
 
TL;DR No.

Yeah i knew it was too good to be true anyways, thanks for the feedback, will search some more to see if i can get some for 80-100 dollars.

Be careful out there and cautious..
You won't find any legit M50 under 100 bucks..
And remember,always buy via paypal...

I don't see the point in getting a pair of hp's knowing they are fake. You are definitely going to get subpar sound and build quality. Why not just buy something real in that price range?
 
If you really want the m50's then save up for the real deal, you wouldn't regret it later.

Some online stores/head-fi sponsors have coupons. 20% discount, etc.
Just gotta dig deeper
