Hi, I'm new to these forums, I've been browsing them for a while, but never created an account, well, there is a time for everything. Enough introduction.
I recently got a new pair of Ultimate Ears SuperFi 4vi from Ebay. I thought I'd be getting a legit pair. However, after searching long and far, it seems that mine may be fake. IDK for sure since all the fake vs real images look crappily Photoshopped or painted. I am currently uploading pictures, but for now I'll just explain them to you all. The headphones seem to be more of a bluish tone than the images online, this of course can be lighting, so I'll continue. The microphone that comes out of the right earpiece has the UE logo embossed downward on it. The Y-split is a flat funnel shape (It isn't round). The remote has a cylindrical button that is sensitive to the touch and presses really easily. The backside of the remote had the UE logo embossed downward just like the microphone. The headphone jack is gold with black stripes/contacts and has the UE logo embossed downward on 2 sides (180 degrees from each other). On one side it has the code C41 embossed upward on it. The jack itself is straight like the pictures.
The things that don't match up is the remote with the UE logo on it (instead of a phone logo) and the C41 writing on it (IDK if that matters at all). I haven't gotten any images of real vs fake that are of quality that allow me to decifer fully as they all look like cheap Photoshops (or paints). If anyone knows they have a legit version of the SuperFi 4vi headset and can chime in, please let me know.
I'm on the assumption that they are fake, however, for some reason, I actually like the sound they produce. Are my ears going bad? They are brighter (and harsh compared to the RE0), with some bass (nothing heavy, but not light either; heavier than the RE0). The mids are a little sibilant, but nothing I can't handle. They are still burning in (50 hours of burn in so far).
I'll link to the picasa album with the pics after they upload, they are 12MP straight from the camera, no edits. After I've had enough to determine whether or not they are fake, I'll be deleting them and putting up lower resolution shots (edited with Photoshop a little).

I did contact 
No retail packaging at all, which is why I doubted them. Thanks for the confirmation with the lettering on the jack and the SQ. Helps a lot, you have no idea.
