I mean if they can copy the intricate cog wheels of a Rolex watch something like an earphone design is gonna be easy. Including the sound design. No way possible your gonna have a tesla dynamic in the knock off Xelento but I bet they can mimic the FR exactly using a cheapo 10mm standard dynamic to make it sound similar.
Factory rejects are also being sold on the express but you can't determine if it is a factory reject or an out right copy. I have a feeling them CA earphones are copies however. Them Atlas better be damn good if they are gonna charge $500 plus bucks for a dupe. Lol. Would be interesting to hear one of those actually just to see how good they copied the sound design.
However, this is based on your assumption, and not on facts.
I'm just saying that you should provide correct information, and not what you assume or think. Because it's misleading to other people.
For example you telling people not to buy the $400 version ( real ). However you also need to take into consideration that there are people out there, which prefer the real one, although it's more expensive. You make it sound like you would walk around with a fake pair of Rolex, and that's alright. I however wouldn't.
Also for the CA earphones, the page does mention that they are the older version of the IEM, and not the 2020 version.

So, Dsnuts posts Xelentos for $80 and I look at the link. Made in Germany they say and the price is 55% off. What to do?? Order of course. Has Dsnuts ever led me wrong----NO.

He doesn't even have a set himself. He didn't even realize they were fakes. (Which basically means, he had no idea what he was talking about and let's not forget the fact that he is unable to edit his post or make a new post, or update with accurate information regarding the misleading information he posted before)So, Dsnuts posts Xelentos for $80 and I look at the link.

Go do as your master says, order it. And let us know how the fake pair is.
Also don't forget to compare it to the real one.
Looking forward to your review/impressions.
According to the store, the tuning is exactly as the real one. So if that is true, this fake pair is indeed a nice deal. However for now, i believe nothing has been or is confirmed

Your weekend reader. My thoughts on the new Penon Globe. I compare the Globe with the older Orbs, ISN H40, Fiio FD5, Blessing 2 and for good measure the old Sony Z5. This one is a bit longer but is required reading. Cus I said so.

Oh man dont buy that. Lol. My point with the post is that there are counterfeits that are rampant on aliexpress. Sorry if my post mislead folks but there is no way I am gonna condone a buy of that thing. My point with the post was to have folks be wary of such earphones on the express. I would cancel that if I was you. If I thought that was the real deal I would have said so.

Sent seller a "Please Cancel" order. We will see. Buying a good IEM next week anyway. Just an impulse buy. It would have helped if Dsnuts had have said that it was a fake up front.

Too late to cancel. Just let that order ride. It might sound good or be a cheap lesson.

Oh wow never thought anyone would actually buy that thing. Sorry if that was misleading. I will take down that post as it was intended to warn folks as there are a lot of dupes on the express. I would see what the vendor says as they probably haven't even gotten to packaging the order yet.

Interesting face plates and the cables do not look bad either. It would be know the prices, driver combinations and most of all about the sound.Some more IEMs from Leisurely Audio!
