Doubts? What's doubtful about a $75 pair of $1000 IEMs labeled DIY with "98% of the original sound"?they seemed reasonably priced...but now I have my doubts........
$75 is not reasonably priced it is a crazy low price. Obviously fake, but thanks for sharing.
The S version will be easier to fake due to the low profile look compared to the original 800. The main difference of the fake from the original IE800 were the (1) cable (original had a more darker green cable), (2) Nozzle (original had a more secure tip connection, fake ones already loose after a few days/months of use), (3) the 2 holes dampener or chambers(whatever that is called), on the original they were evenly flushed to the holes, look more seamless, where on the fake ones they are noticeably not properly aligned.Sorry if I may not have made myself clear...yes they are obviously copies , in fact the Aliexpress seller even says so, I'm bringing it up for the attention of potential buyers as unfortunately some unscrupulous individuals will now buy them and try and pass them off as legit ie800Ss. When I say reasonable I've seen used here in Canada for $750 (MRSP $1299.)and unless the seller bought them direct from Sennheiser or an authorized dealer one may be taking a chance on getting the real thing.
I still see fake ie800s (that were bought for maybe less than $30) still being pawned for hundreds more on Ebay.......so one can only assume.......

I see - the existence of obvious but realistic-looking fakes now causes you to question the authenticity of other, more reasonably-priced, used items elsewhere.Sorry if I may not have made myself clear...yes they are obviously copies , in fact the Aliexpress seller even says so, I'm bringing it up for the attention of potential buyers as unfortunately some unscrupulous individuals will now buy them and (will) pass them off as legit ie800Ss.

............ for fake watch listings to show the real watch in the ads, to fool prospective buyers into thinking the fake looks more authentic than it does.
