I just came across these while searching on a Hong Kong Yahoo auction site
SONG'S being this guy's shop name

these are going for around $220
this seller claims that these are legit and authentic and new but doesn't include the box and accessories. 7 day return guaranteed with good feedback rating.

also has other senns iem for sale

Be careful, don't buy any IE8 without box or accessories. Over 80% chance you would buy a fake one

Haven't heard of any fake IE8s. Just a matter of time i guess.

Link to site?

First time i'm hearing about fakes. You might inquire about the lack of packaging. Perhaps it was a display model, return, or refurb.

But if it's from a reputable seller, with a return policy, then i don't see it as much of a risk. Though you might have trouble getting sennheiser support without a serial number.

Heres the link:
*ì¸Ë´Ë®ü¶ëº¸SennheiserºXÄ¥°Ê°éIE8¤J¦ÕYahoo! ©ç½æ

Basically it's claiming a 10 times the value back guaranteed if it's fakes and 7 day return guarantee if unsatisfied with the product. If the earphone fails to work within 30 days they would do a brand new replacement as well.

I don't think it's samples, they got bulk buying.

He's claiming that they are legit imported goods with no box or accessories.

yeah they seem quite legit to me, in the pictures, that is.

Someone here in the philippines is selling ie7 and ie8 for a lot cheaper price as well and people who bought from him said it's legit.

Importantly, is there any way u can 100% sure get your money back a la paypal? Sure they say they can refund you the money but I'd be careful with that. They may not.

HK yahoo doesnt do paypal, payment's done by local bank transfers or face to face trade. So the only way to get a refund if it turns out to be fake is to report to local authorities or the HK consumer's council

The IE 8 isn't serialized.

Also be careful as sometimes these so called sellers will use a photo of a legit or original product, but when you come to receive your parcel they will have fakes in there and its bye bye to your money.

If you can, meet up with him and try it out before buying it, that way you'll be able to tell if they're fake or not.

And get to hear a real one before that would definitely help (maybe from local audio store or some friends etc.)
