Monster is constantly making little changes to their packing and products, which makes it hard to tell reals from fake.

Good news:
Has a TM symbol
Dr. Dre picture looks like the original

Bad news:
Whoever is making the fakes could have corrected their mistakes

Posting a link to the site you bought them from would probably help.
Might want to post better angled images of the front and back of the box.

I can't be 100% sure, but they seem real.
Better images of front and back of the box would help. Picture of the quick start guide, too.

Good ways to tell:
Back of the quick start guide has a link to "mostercable.com
Manual is just a piece of paper.

(I do not own any beats.)

Lol, I don't have anything against beats except their price. Probably would have been a good idea to mention it, though.

If he wants something stylish that everybody knows so he can show off with "decent sound", I say let him.

While I'm at it, let me mention this:
Wearing beats increases the chance of being robbed tenfold. I doubt the idiots who rob people even know what Sennheiser or Ultrasone is.

I'm inclined to agree I'm afraid.  OP, there are much better options available that will offer you a similiar(albeit better) sound quality.  Here are some suggestions:
 
Denon AH-D1100
 
Sennheiser HD438, HD448, HD238
 
Ultrasone HFi-580, HFi-780
 
Now, you'll find a strong deep bass response as well as outstanding overall sound quality with all of these options.

not in the 448s, they have less bass the my AD700s, although they are nice and accurate throughout the range they cover.

Really?  You found the bass less than your AD700?  That's is saying something.

well asside fomr the waisted cash, does the bettery cover have a signature on it when you open it up, and does it have a serial number below that?

yup, although i don't feel like the AD700s are lacking that bad in bass, but the 448s i definitely can't get over the lack of bass. AD700s have light bass but it's all there, the bass from the 448s is just outright missing.

I don't like how it says...
 
"Dr Dre Studio Beats headphones Black Brand new includes Serial code Still Available"
 
and then
 
"Included are 1x White Beats Studio headphones"
 
Just a little observation.
