Ah, my bad. I'll do more research. I only saw "leather" and "velour" as options on Amazon US.

I guess they are still not back in stock. I am glad I bought 2 sets back when they were only $8.99

Why?
I paid ~$50 (AUD), new, for my last pair. So not ridiculously cheap.

They cost even more in EU (easily 100€ or more) so that is really my best choice right now.

If NewEgg will ship to your country, they're still $55 USD there. Dunno about shipping costs, though.

45€ + 20€ shipping + clearance charge... no thank you. Its going to cost almost as much in total.

My guess is that they're legit.

I've seen no fake SHP9500 reports at all. A fake would be easy to spot by examining the driver through the mesh grille (I could show you photos of exactly what to look for). Fakes always try and duplicate the LOOK, not the SOUND. They always use a crappy low-end drivers. If that one did turn out to be fake, you'd be eligible for a full refund from Aliexpress anyways (on those grounds).

So if I was in your position, I'd go for the Aliexpress ones.

I assume you've also tried ebay?

I checked ebay, no sellers in EU.

Here is some pictures from the feedback section, im not sure are they enough to tell anything:

Those look like some legit SHP9500 to me.

 

[Slater]

Yes, those are genuine. I wouldn't hesitate to buy them.

Let us know how you like them!

I mean, the ad does say 100% ORIGINAL...that's impossible to fake.
Seriously though, just based on the look of the back of the driver in the picture they seem legit.
It's interesting that it is a 9500 and not a 9500s...I assumed all the 9500 stock would be long gone by now.
