the best way to be sure your sennheiser cx300's are not fake is buying them from an trustful web site or store.
I use to have an fake cx300 and have an original cx300. the sennheiser logo was really bad at fake ones, i could erase them by my nails easily. also sound was terrible etc.
there is a lot of kind of fake ones. so , there is some differnces between fake two cx300's.
I've bought HD 598 from same site and they were real. Quality stuff there, no doubt, but this time...
Agree on sound, its terrible, but just because of boosted highs.

The ones in the picture look real. On the SENNHEISER tag of the black baggie, the lettering on the fakes is slightly larger and not as well defined and not even with the edge. The question is, will they send you the ones in the picture, or will you get different ones.
Lettering looks a bit smaller here, than one on the pic, logo is a bit bigger and more defined, also design on left and right upper corners have some funny angle around 15 degrees from left and right sides of bag (comparing to 0 on original pic).
Headphones and box look exactly the same...
...but small difference on back side of box - no written "precision" word and cx-300 II is written close to right corner. Different pics as well: on right shown 2 L R headphones, on left the badge and rubber nozzles. Maybe its a changed design, I dont know.

the cx-series is supposed to have good mids, soundstage, bloated bass, and sweet, but lacking, highs. Painful highs are nowhere in this description so I'm not sure...
Yeah, highs are too crisp.With loud volume its just a torture.
But maybe its my ears. Heres the comparison between fake (some version) and real ones
Real are green, So frequencies are almost same at highs, but sound details are lacking as review saying. No lack of details on mines and good bass. Just too much highs. In comparison to HD 598 theres insane amount of highs.
