So I took the plunge and bought a pair of Precisions off of amazon from a seller by the name of SilverBerries. I received the earphones today and the package didn't seem tampered with and looks genuine, but the there are a couple differences that these have from my other cx 400 II's. I first noticed that the plug is gold plated, while my other genuine cx 400s are not. I also noticed that the earphone cords(the y part) are thinner than my other cx 400s. Also, the grills on these are more "pushed in" but are round, while my genuines are more outwards, but are flat. I also noticed that the case that came with them seems to be a "lighter' color of black, and the bottom corners seem to be cut, instead of rounded like my other case. The sound is more bass heavy then my previous pair. While I've read reviews on how the cx 400 II's are too bassy for some, these make my previous pair sound very balanced. It just sounds like the bass is meant to make up for the lack of the rest of the sound quality. They also have a kind of "muddled" or "muffled" sound to the mids... Could that just be because I have to break them in? Also, on the top of each earphone, where the ear flanges would be, there is a number five there that wasn't there on my genuine ones.
