Yes, it was a
rhetorical question
Getting back to your own original question, you've received some good advice from some people who did not come down with the last shower. Stick around these forums for long enough, and you will see fakes, scams, counterfeits, etc., come around every now and then. Wherever there's a large-enough market, with people wishing to spend their disposable income, there will be sharks circling, and portable audiophile devices are exactly one such market.
However, if you choose to ignore the advice shared in this thread, because you are so excited by the prospect of getting an allegedly-genuine-Shure product, at just 12% of it's normal retail price
(which wouldn't even cover the cost of the balanced armature drivers contained within the shells of the genuine product), then that is your prerogative, but you have been sincerely warned by fellow enthusiasts who have no wish to see you get your fingers burned.
Given that you seem keen to make excuses for the warning flags that have been pointed out to you, I rather fear you have already made up your mind to buy them anyway, and just posted this thread in the hope of reassurance, rather than being genuinely cautious and in need of guidance.
Consequently, there is not much else any of us can say to you
The ball is in your court, now...
