Sorry if this is a stupid question.
I'm not an expert in this.
I saw the Philips SHP9500 in Aliexpress for about $60USD and I bought them.
Looking at the pictures online and comparing them with what I got, it looks identical.
The entire box is written in Chinese and there's a scratch code to check if it's genuine on a website www.t3315.com - the site says it is genuine but I can't trust it.
I plugged it into my ifi Zen DAC v2 and I found that I was required to press the Power Match button to get these cans out of quietness level.
I went to https://autoeq.app/ and selected the profile of Oratoy1990 and the pre-amp is -14dB - that means I now have to push the volume past 12 o'clock to listen to them.
So long story... I'm trying to figure out if they are fake or not - if it's even possible to know by looking at them.
