Hi all.
 
I really like Audio-Technica ATH-T500 headphones and I really consider buying them. Recently I was browsing through eBay and I discovered the price there (~65$) is quite lower than the price in shops in my country (Czech republic, the headphones cost ~100$ here). I know that applying warranty could be an issue, but I'm willing to risk it  
 
My question is: does anyone have expierence with buying headphones from Hong Kong? I certainly don't want to buy some chinese duplicate (and all of us know how good there guys are in making _visually_ similar items )
 
Thanks.

90% of what comes from CHINA is fake. I don't recommend buying anything from them.

and...there's a lot of fake copies of ATH-M50 For $100 retailing at your place, it's actually considered as cheap as we have to pay around $120 for it

Don't risk it then. Buy local

Great. I'll go for local ones. (Maybe I'll reconsider my requirements and will buy T400).
Thanks for responses!

Might be a little to late but i bought my pair from Hong Kong. Contacted the seller and asked if they were legit, of course he said yes. After i received them, i could tell they were not fake because of the build quality and the comfort of the cans, but i still sent pictures and description to Audio Technica and they confirmed it was authentic. Turns out Audio Technica has a distribution center in Honk Kong. I have mine up for sale now if anyone is interested.
