These pics are the only thing i got to tell if they are fake or not. Can you tell me if they are fake but IMO i think they are fake but i need a person who owns ESW9 to tell me.

Those look very fake, way under AT's quality standard. Mainly, the wood grain is terrible, next the paint for the R/L looks way off. We recently just saw a thread of fake ESW9's for sale from some China wholesale place.

I find it really amazing that they are going as far as to make fake wood cans lol

the wood (or whatever that is) is a dead give away they dont have the same colour, shinyness, polishness to the real esw9 i think.

Yes, those will be the fake plastic ones by judging on price and photos but hard to tell with such small photos. The pouch looks sub-par compared to the real one.

The photos at the top of this thread are of a different fake version where they actually use wood. These ones are the plastic ones (You can see the bump where the cable goes in on each cup)

If you aren't paying around 160 euros new, then they are fake or stolen.
