Well, I took a chance on the ONTOs that were just posted. We'll see how they are. Hopefully they're not fakes. Although coming from J&R I would be surprised.



 Me too! A set of half-decent headphones that are cheap enough to leave on my desk at work (as a backup pair for when I leave my good set at home). Really looking forward to hearing them.

I dont think there is a marked for fake ONTO`s they are to cheap to fake



Actually they used to run $25-35 on average until a year or so ago. The ONTOs are notorious for being commonly counterfeited and very difficult to tell apart from the real thing (since the genuine ones aren't all that great to start with). There's a bunch of head-fi threads about it and lots of info on fakeheadphones.com. Anything without a retail box is probably fake as the retail box is the most difficult part to duplicate

Yeah, if you want to spend $100 on completely fake knockoffs that will sound more like Skullcandies than Sennheisers...
