Hello!

Regards

it's not that easy to say so with this picture... no other pics available?

 

[tpc41]

Probably real. The fake ones usually have a ribbed strain relief on the headphones. Here is a blurry pic of some fake ones.

Yep! plus that pouch. The real one is totally different

why the hell do people make fakes? Doesn't the effort put in outweigh the profit of selling, especially if they are being sold as second hand

Yes, fakes.

I've made it my mission to get all fake ES7s pulled from eBay. At first, eBay passed over my emails; after a while, fake ES7s were pulled.

A source of the fakes can be found here: http://md.en.alibaba.com/product/200...ne_in_bag.html

$11 wholesale. Somebody's making money.

Exactly! it's completely stupid! it's a pitty that there are people trying to make dirty money out of us, music lovers.

They look like the real deal.

 

[fakcior]

I don't have another photos. So it's fake or not?

 

[wrecked_porsche]

They look like the genuine ones to me too.

 

[fakcior]

So it's true that all fakes have ribbed endings of cables?

Here's a gold mine of information on fake/real ES7s.

Look at that! Right next to the ATH's, FAKE PX200's! (No plastic carrying case and a cheapo bag, so definitely not legit.) I knew that PX100's had their fair share of doppelgangers but looks like the higher-ups as well. Really sad that people are making a profit off of this racket.

I can't tell for certain since I don't know the store that sells them thru amazon, but at 90 pounds, they better be real...
