Amazon.com: Shure SE530PTH Sound Isolating Earphones with Push-To-Hear Control: Electronics

Can anyone verify whether or not these are legit? Seems like a pretty good deal. I'm a bit wary after reading the Shure counterfeit sticky thread and all.

Those are legit, amazon rarely (or don't) sell fakes.

Also note those are from a third part seller not from amazon themselves. Electronica Direct is who actually sells them. Now the person above me is correct. Usually when amazon allows a thrid party to use amazons services and is not an auction, then they usually go through some fairly stringent guidelines as to the legitimacy of their product. However it's not actually sold through amazon directly.

Yeah... That's what really has me wary about the item. The sellers rating seems good enough... But with the thread about counterfeits and the fact that they are using the product picture from Shure's website rather than their own pics is what has my "spidey sense" tingling.

when are the new models with removable cables due?

 

[Arjisme]

That price is not unusual though. There have been similar deals for those IEMs for a few years now.

 

[saintalfonzo]

same place/price I got mine and they aren't fakes.

Just an fyi...I got a pair from soundearphones.com last week..shipped for $300. I just emailed them for a better price than they had listed..got back with me within minutes with the $300 price. Don't know if this week it'll be the same but worth a try. Great dealer and a sponsor here. Good luck.

Honestly from what I've seen of the counterfeits, I'm more concerned about anything from the cn/hk area. Anything that is shipped in the US and is from a large sale seller (this guy) I'm thinking are probably legit. I cite for example I just bought a pair of 350's off of ebay. I was scared to death they were fake. What made me think otherwise was the fact that they were unopened, the seller had multiples of the same item (wholesale) and pretty much everything else he was selling wasn't some sort of knockoff. If you look at what they are selling, and it doesn't look like cheap crap, and the fact that they are selling a bunch of them, most likely they are legit. It's the one offs where they are from sellers who sell....crap and suddenly there is the golden goose in the crap.

Im thinking about picking up a pair
But I want the 2 year warranty from a authorized dealer. Because everyone seems to have problems with the cables, and i dont want to go and spend so much money on something ust to have them brake in a year or so.

Do you guys think Im being too worried? or should i get them for the low price?

 

[alysony]

Well the way I see it, if they break I'll probably just get them converted into custom molds...or do something less legitimate.

Soundearphones is authorized dealer and had the same price $300 last week and probably now too....I would for sure go authorized dealer when it's same price.
