I should have also mentioned that the link in this post is also to fake E4/SCL4. It's closer to the E4/SCL4 look than other counterfeit's, but this is most definitely fake. We don't make a pouch like the one pictured (never have, not even as a one-off or test run), and the clincher for me (one of the designers of the E4/SCL4) is the cable exit and y-junction.

FAKE.

My thoughts too. This has been done to both E2 and E4 now.

I'm kind of flattered, but angry at the same time.

I can imagine! As you say, it must hit both those buttons. I think the vast majority of your prospective market would be aware and bright enough to avoid such 'replicas' like the plague though.

Well, I hope so.

At least head-fi members (and lurkers) have the benefit of asking and receiving the benefit of community knowledge. If only most of our customers were so resourceful.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery and the E4Cs are still my favorite IEMs.
