I'm gonna see how these stack against my Shure E2C (authentic), for $5, I don't mind.

Wow that is amazing. I bet it sounds better than the marshmellows.

Was that a sarcastic remark? I have no idea.

Hell I'd give it a shot i bought some $6 knock offs of some im490s and they sound pretty good. I heard alot worst for $5 buck pun intended

 

[NeObliviscaris]

i paid over $50 for a pair of fakes - didnt know they were fake at the time, they sounded ok, but yeh. for $6 might as well!

i'd be very interested in how these sound. Never considered buying fake headphones before...but for 5$? Seems like a great headphone to have to throw around and stuff.

Someone posted on Atraclife that he got some fake Sony EX90's for $7 and that INCLUDED the shipping! He reckons they sound really good. It's just so hard to believe that parts and shipping only came to $7. . . even fakes cost money to make don't they?

except that they are made in sweat shops who pay their workers $1/hr. so $7 yea they made profit.

So what about this pair? Is it also a Shure knockoff, and of what model?

Err... I'm not so keen on supporting the counterfeit scene, although these phones look like they simply imitate the Shures, not counterfeit. They have a different brand name on them, after all.

geez, and would you think the factory wouldnt put the "shure" sticker on any phones they produced? please read the previous threads about fake e4c's man.

engadget has a line for fake prodcuts, its called "keeping it really fake", they have everything there, fake consoles, fake pmp´s,

on this note, fake zunes of chinese origin have started poping up in spain, they have the same physical apperance but sound really bad, and are usualy 1-2gb flash,

Not even that most of the time.



I can't believe people here would consider buying these.

First, this is a "high-fidelity" audio community (see website url).
This sort of garbage belongs in the ipodlounge.

And lastly, by buying these you are supporting the 'sweatshops' where workers get paid less than crap.
