Not sure about IE8 because I haven't found it.
But the IE7 says....

"Authentic products coming straight from the OEM, 100% quality assurance!"...
"These products are OEM products and 100% authentic, please do not suspect the authenticity!"

And for the ones without package, they were sold for 80RMB a pair ($11?)

 

[blawhh]

But... How do they sound? They might actually be worth it if you get them for cheap and they sound decent

 

[frostfire90]

quite a high chance these are stolen goods so they're selling at a much lower price.

Hm. So the packaging and included accessories is what seems to make the difference? Seems like the case since the first days of the fake CX300 and whatnot. I'm betting most of the fake Senns come in those "OEM" plastic bags.

I wonder if the fake IE8's bass tuners work considering the thesis that they're outed by factories no longer endorsed by Senn. Would be interesting to try them out once the market is more saturated with them.

Anyone want to review one?

Here is the google translation, there is a whole area of them claiming authenticity

Chinese Seller

 

[blawhh]

IE7's

Check these out:

The seller actually sticks the stickers/labels on himself

 

[blawhh]

In a semi-related note, anyone every buy anything from "bestmusic"? They have an awfully good price...lower than anywhere else, based on a preliminary google search...

Sennheiser IE7 Earphone

You can tell they're most likely fake/illicit by the relative pricing of the other products on their website.

So I'm assuming the only way to ensure that the units you get are real when buying from anyone except an authorized reseller is to call up Sennheiser and provide the serial or e-mail them the serial and images?

Where are the serial numbers located on the IE7/IE8?

They come with:

Box
IE7
Silicon Tips (S/M/L)
Cleaning Tool
Ear Guide

On a side note, are the cables removable? Any way to actually check for authenticity? I am currently using real Sennheiser MX160's
