Suspicious indeed. Then they are really capable of mass producing those copies or fakes.

Stock indicator on Aliexpress is not always accurate. I have bought things in the past that were seemingly in stock. Waited for 1-2 weeks and asked why it has not been shipped. Got an answer that it was not shipped because it was not in stock ....

Saw those stores as well and asked CFA if those stores in AE sell original or not. Below is their reply. Dont think they even looked those vendors up in AE.
Was hoping for a straightforward "those items are fake" kind of answer

I recently bought a "2019" pair off eBay for about 1/2 off. Does anyone know if these seem legit? I'm not really blown away by the sound, and they came with only the case and cable.
They look legit to me, no obvious fake signs as far as i can see.
What don't you like? And what are you comparing them with? Maybe it's just not your sound at all.

I compared them with the Solaris, F8 Freedoms, Polaris, and Fa7s. I also really like the sennheiser HD650s. The mids in the Andromedas sound rather rough, with very little bass extension. It just sounds a bit grainy, not as clear as the Solaris, or as airy as the F8 Freedoms, not as full as the HD650s. Also the seller seemed too eager to ship them off if that kind of makes sense.
