While surfing on the net, I found this:

MyeGlobal --Free shipping 10 pcs AUDIO TECHNICA ATH-ESW9 Portable Wooden Headphones

The price is 660USD per 10 pieces, so that should be 66USD per headphone. I doubt if they are real, for that price.

So is there anyone who knows if these headphones are real or fake?

itd probably cost about 40 USD to get the wood + cut... take a dive for us

I doubt anything at that site is real...

There was a thread in the portable forum, where some guy bought a fake ESW9.
At least, I think it was fake.

Some notable differences from the real thing from what I've seen was that the wood grain wasn't nearly as nice as the ESW9 I had.
And the inner pad diameter was much smaller than the normal pads.

I would stay clear from these, most likely they are fakes.

They are not 10 for 660. I think that they are 660 each. At the bottom of the page it has a table that says qty=1-3, the price is $600. Then it says that 4-6 and 7-10 have different prices that you have to sign in to see.

It says "quantity = X Lot", where 1 lot = 10 pieces.

 

[32y0]

No, it says 660.00 / Lot. And a lot = 10 pieces.
So the qty should be 1-3 Lots.

edit: tk3 was faster.

Anyway, it MUST be fake.

 

[tintin47]

Fair enough. If it is selling for $66 each, then they are fake. Also, Audiotechnica is Japanese and the site says they have chinese suppliers.

 

[32y0]

Yes, it has to be fake.
Anyway, thanks for the confirmation.

I concur. I've seen a Dateline NBC story about Chines counterfeiters and this smacks of "rotten deal".

The guy has positive feedback and all but I still smell a rat.

I actually considered purchasing a lot and doubling my money on eBay, but like the old saying goes: "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is".
