This item 110480918001 is currently listed on ebay with a BIN price of £100. They purport to be Audio Technica ESW9's. See the following link for ebay listing:

TinyURL.com - shorten that long URL into a tiny URL

These headphones appear to be fake according to all evidence on THIS excellent web page -------> Google Translate that details about 15 ways to spot a fake against a real.

The French text of the front indicate strongly that the ebay ones currently listed are fake...as does the 100 quid price tag. There is no other evidence available as no further pictures are listed. But I saw enough to deter me from buying a pair.

I just got the Esw9 from Adorama. According to the google translate page
Google Translate
, mine is fake!?! (it looks exactly like the one on the right) Even though Adorama is supposed to be an authorized AT dealer? Do I trust the review page or Adorama? Should I go ahead and return the phones?
