Regardless of whether or not I'd ever actually purchase the headphone in question, these threads are always interesting and a great service to the headphone community. Thank you soundtech for sharing you findings with us!
There is, however, one burning question that is still unanswered: how does the sound compare between the original and fake?
Ha! Go figure that an "authentic" Beats sound would be easily and cheaply replicated.
I seen there are a bunch of fake studios floating around with "custom" color schemes. Since the vast majority seem to buy them exclusively based on looks/trendiness and they sound alike, (and I'm sure durability wouldn't take much of a hit either) it seems that buying fakes is actually the way to go in this case.
Monster sources the drivers for their Beats series from Chinese oem manufacturers anyways, so in essence both fake and real Beats share the same basic drivers.

A friend got them for me in Beijing, they're the Superman style. One of these days I'm going to replace the 40mm drivers in them with something decent and re-tune them, then I'll send them to Tyll for measurements.

I even got my kid of the idea wanting these damn beats haha a couple of friends of him want xb500's now and so does he,saves money,better sound and that dre fool aint getting paid for crap so 3x strikes in one......LOL
I think the fake should sound better then original haha so be glad there are fake ones cause when you buy beats your money is wasted anyway why in the world would you buy such a crap headphone...??!!
if i were the one who will make a fake one.. id rather buy ath m50 and rebuilt it and make it a beats mixr..well thats better than even beats studio haha.. still you can sell it 200$
