eBay fakes?

[bmoore09]

I was looking at these B&O a8's and saw they were pretty inexpensive. Then it dawned on me that they could just be fake. So any one bought from these guys? WOULD you?

I would, the first link looks pretty authentic to me. Even the extension cable's the right one. (straight rounded, silver copper plug) He's also sold a same set before: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=110104327748 .

If you think it's a fake, just keep in mind: the A8s have pumped mid range and very little bass.


Btw is that the new A8 box in link 2? Mine came in a small brown cardboard box.

The first link:

Two of the feedbacks on the first two pages have negative comments

Beware: fake headset, not OEM. Sellers like this can ruin eBay.

Sennheiser Headphones are Cheap Chinese FAKE which Suck

He has those two negative ones, but hundreds of positives. I just dont know. I would hate to get some fakies and not even know it!

It's good to hear that BO is continuing their tradition of form over function.

Actually yes... this guy seems fishy, now that I look at some of his auctions.

I agree. Other people who has purchased things from him, may not know the difference between a real, and a fake.

Definitive comment from a genuine B&O A8 owner. If the end of the earclasp is silver (ir, metal) the headphones are fake. This is one of the easiest ways to tell.

The genuine B&O earbuds have he plastic cover over the end of the earclasp.

Absolute fakes. Pin down the seller to see if they come in sealed plastic.
