Hello everyone... I recently bought a pair & I still don't know whether they are fake or real as described by many in this thread )=
They do sound good for what they are, but considering some here were bought for less than $50 from other online marketplace, I may have overpaid by 5-6 times over ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Since getting these, I've searched online to find out from others on how they feel about their own pair which ended up having me come here to find out that many of these are counterfeited versions sold elsewhere.
If not for some of you, I would have assumed that I now own a real pair of these German made earphones & not a Chinese copy even though they do look very similar to the real ones - minus a few little details here & there... obviously, the price paid is the big give away as reason for believing it is fake, right(?).
After reading through this thread & comparing all the photos, I started comparing the similarities to my own pair which are as follow::
>1st impression: No round sealing stickers on the outside box or any indication of them being peeled off
>2nd reaction: opening the box was hell as they were so jammed, it took a lot of effort not to break them open
>3rd surprise: the case front cover is crooked when closed & would not fold into place after straightening it out
>Cable is about 43-44" & when wrapped around the case, the Jack would overshoot the 3 side holes either way
>Ear TIPS resemble the fake ones on the outside... not sure about those outside Grilles though(?)
>Inside the ear tips where the teeth hold onto the earbuds can break off when taking off & putting back on
>Jack closeup showed the cable in 2 spots inside the black plastic piece not completely covered all around
>No gap/gold showing in the clasp when connected as 1pc... pretty much flush as they come... no clicking sound
>QR code when checked on through their system indicated of it being "checked often... &... suspicious"
>SOUND was quite good, but the highs or treble can be very sharp on many tracks I've listened to >normal??<
>Surely a few others... just can't recall them all right at this time of posting [<
If these are actually fake, they seem to be made quite well or closer to the real ones as it is kind of hard to really distinguish between all the different parts/pieces.
Anyways, I thought I'd just post a bunch of photos here for all to see & help determine whether I got a Fake or the Real deal... cheers & thanks for sharing
