In pounds or usd?

Sennheiser just isn't showing any love to the U.S. right now, thats all right I still Love you IE8

I cant imagine amazon UK. or Amp3 selling seconds or fakes and they're a hell of a lot cheaper than here.

 

[toughnut]

Pounds and from microwarehouse.co.uk

 

[mcspectre]

I cant believe they're 220USD!! NCIX canada has them for 350CAN that's like 285USD....If ever these drop just under 200USD i'm selling my atrios and jumping allllll over that!

 

[Surrealsky]

bump for feedback and awareness.

I wonder why Sennheiser does not take measures against counterfeiting, like shipping sealed registration keys to their Chinese factory. If not able to register online, a buyer would know he got a fake product.

It's a good idea, however it doesn't stop people 'producing' fake gear, and it certainly doesn't stop people buying the things from ebay! But at least like Bose Triport IE, you could ring them up and they'll confirm if they're fake or not.

These things are really not that difficult to make and the profit is tremendous. Its not like software that you need to register on-line to continue using it. If a seller on ebay can warranty it thats good enough. If it breaks and you ship it back to the seller, the seller can just send you a new one for free. If Sennheiser wants to pursue, its at their own expense and its not cheap. It would cost them thousands to do it with no return.

Nokia does that for their batteries, but fakes are still readily available. Unfortunately these sort of markets will always exist because most people are ignorant or do not care.

You are right, it would not stop fake IEMs from being produced, but it would make them harder to sell as genuine, both at the wholesale and retail/eBay levels. At least people who care (most audiophiles I hope) would know which sellers to avoid.

well,best way to find is to send an email including picture + serial no of the earphones too Sennheiser .They will help you in knowing whether they are fake or not .

I live in Czech Republic, close to Germany

We have two shops with IE8 first for 194€ and second for 203€ ($250). I think it is beutiful price...so ($230-$250) is possible.

 

[selkin]

yaeh I wonder how could I get a german online retailer to send an IE 8 for like £180 incl. p&p...
