Some days ago I got my new pair, but the authenticity hologram on the box looks kinda washed out (despite the fact that the code matched the QR scan), which made me have my doubts. I followed the registration on Sennheiser's website, and though everything matched, I still have my doubts because of the box... I contacted Sennheiser about it bit have not received any response whatsoever. Was the hologram simply washed out during shipping, or was I actually ripped off? I bought them off directly from Amazon (no third party or marketplace seller), so there should be no problem with counterfeit fakes, but... I'm paranoid about it, specially with all the ¨Class A¨ imitations.
So, how good does it look? Well, take a look. Here's what the driver looks like:
The earcups and headband look AND FEEL pretty legit as well:
And this is how the hologram on the box looks, which makes me feel suspicious about its authenticity (notice how the big Y, while still distinguishable, looks washed out):
So, what do you think? Do they look legit? Or were I and Amazon ripped off?
Also of note, so far in this thread it seems that all the spotted fakes are from the black model. I'm yet to see a fake Ivory. I hope I'm just being paranoid.
