It says, "NOTE Dear buyers please notice that the Xiaomi Piston Earphone sold at low price (Less than $22) is 100% the fake copy one"

 
If I'm not mistaken, I seem to remember that note was there when they sold at list price.

I can't understand the point of counterfeiting $25 earphones in the first place.

You haven't made it until your product has been replicated. Lol

I'd stay away from these.  The seller, Lily's Gift, has one of the highest negative feedback ratings I've ever seen on Amazon.

I suspect it's not so much about the profits to be gained as the ease of copying in the first place. When it's a cheap product that's being made next door, it's easier to duplicate the production. I've seen the same thing with cheap Chinese fountain pens. It turns out they're all made in the same city, so the counterfeiters chose to knock off their neighbors as well as the trickier western pieces.

Yup, if, (and I'm not saying I would), I were to go through the trouble, I would definitely target at least a mid level IEM.

I think it's because the risks are higher when you sell fake mid/high end stuff. You'll have to deal with fees, shipping, and losing the item completely if you get caught.

If you sell something fake that's cheap not many people will go chasing you for your money back, or they'll just say "you get what you pay for" and go on with their lives.

Anyone know if the used HD 800s from Amazon Warehouse Deals are covered under Sennheiser's warranty?  Alternately, anyone know if there are any deals from authorized dealers on HD 800s anywhere?

I don't think so. Used items never come with a manufacture's warranty.

Contact to Sennheiser, Sometimes they still have the warranty.

If you have time then you can try waiting for buysonic. It's usually $1100. Or wait for black friday. Or buy now and use a credit card with price rewind/purchase protection(be careful with the fine print though).

 

[cizx]

Yeah, good call.  I'll see what Black Friday turns up.  Waiting for Ragnarok anyway.

 

[Soundsgoodtome]

The Ragnarok, because sub-$1k 2ch amps just won't do.

Newegg has black on ear Momentums for $80 when you use their code. Expect them to sell out very soon. It says 72 hours only, but I've seen this in the past. They won't last that long. Have any of you seen new on ear Momentums anywhere/any time/any color for $80? Code is EMCWWPC42 at checkout.
