I have a set of REAL MH750 purchased 1yr ago that I've thoroughly enjoyed so I thought to purchase a set of MH755 to use with BT dongle, but unfortunately received a set of fakes. (I'm in Taiwan) So, to add a few observations to this already very well established thread.
1. Packaging: Only one recycling logo, I have seen many "real" packaging with two logos.
2. Label: Very very well made, print is mostly clean, I can even see the reflective code near the "bin" (difficult to catch on camera).
Wire wrap: fake MH755 wrapped very loosely and with wire tie, my real MH750 was very neatly wrapped fully covered in clear plastic with no wire tie.
3. Logo: If you hold the two up in your hand and look very closely, you can tell the difference.
4. Vent hole and back shell, again, something that you need to see up close.
5. Inside, some small details.
6. Sound/listening,
Fake: Upon inserting them in my ears I got very very distinct driver flex (I've not seen this mentioned before).
Sound is muffled, highs are not sharp, very muddy, boomy, lots of bass, vocal's not clear, BUT there is music.
Real: No driver flex, very clean sound, clear imaging, good seperation, nice bass, can definitely rival something 10x~20x (or more) the price.
Just for fun, I got my wife and 9yr daughter to do a blind listening test betwen the two with just 20 seconds of Adele, they could easily pick out the real one.
Thoughts,
- The counterfeits are extremely well made, there is pretty much no way to tell without close examination and listening.
- Fake ones are everywhere, I looked up further seller listings and I could not tell if there are any real ones out there.
- All up, I paid US$6 shipped, I got some acceptable eartips and working earphones so that wasn't too bad.
- If you've never heard the real version, you'd think these earphones are ok but you won't understand what the hype is about.
Note: these are just my observations based on the two sets I have on hand, these are in no way conclusive to what's real and what's not.
Real MH750/MH755's are awesome but difficult to find real units, good luck out there!
Have I destroyed the drivers?
