There's a seller on ebay with the name of worldxwp who is selling Audio Technica ESW9 headphones. Does anyone know if they are real or fake?

Thanks.

worldxwp, Consumer Electronics items at low prices on eBay.co.uk

At that price do you even need to ask... The esw9 are some of the best portables from Audio Technica.

If you have to ask whether it's fake, then it's fake.

phandrew,

looking at your post count (at 371) I'm surprised you even asked this question..

I know

I haven't searched much about ESW9 and ebay for a while so i'm a bit behind

Does anyone here have the fake ones?
I know it's fake and all, but they look nice, and if the SQ is decent (I don't mean good, just decent, for the price, which is only 20$+) then maybe it's not such a bad buy...

I guess you have taken a break for a while from head-fi

(also see we are both from same city!! though I haven't been back for a long time..best latte's in the world!!)

safe to say just avoid ebay and other cheap internet places when it comes to ATs..too many fakes out there. some you cant even tell from the looks.

Does anyone know how to tell the difference from a real and fake one?
A list would be nice

Do a search here.. I've seen some thread regarding how to identify fake ones.. I also bought one before from eBay and it was a fake.

From that location do you even need to ask?

Just pointing the obvious

These are definitely fake. On the Chinese auction site Taobao, you will find people selling off slightly used esw9 for US$3 (yes, $3) and many of them stated opening in their auctions that their esw9 are not real deal.

I'd say there are probably fake
