I ordered mine on Aug 31, 2017 12:12:37 PM according to my account page on Gearbest although I didn't receive them until the end of last week. Did you mean you received yours on the 9th or ordered them on the 9th?

I mean I ordered them on the 9th.

I just received a pair - Sound is really muddy, but I have a mixture of what those images are showing.
My case are the ones on the right ie showing the impression in the rubber around the MI logo and 1 more design and the eartip section doesn't have the lines between. The headphones themselves the vent port is on the front side of the headphones when in your ears, plus the shorter and thinner nozzle. I haven't yet looked in to see if the double armature is there. It looks like the blue fabric as I can't easily see in there, even with a torch.
I also have a significant scratch on one of the buttons which will also help get a refund I assume.
I also got a pair of KZ-ED9 and they crap all over these - glad I've something else to listen to and enjoy.

I just got a full refund to my original payment method. I would be still interested to see how many got fake ones and don't even know it yet.
Please , if the earphones sounds muffled or bassy and do not sound sparkly, just look behind the mesh on the nozzle to see if there are Balanced armatures like in the pictures in the shortcut below. I am sure some just got defective ones too but in mine there are missing components and are for sure FAKE.

You got fake ones too.
There should be metal mesh on the nozzle. If it is fabric, it is fake. Just peel the fabric to see if there is any metal part behind it. If it is just a hole, you got fake ones too. Do not worry about peeling the fabric. It is just a sticker, you can put it back.
Please let us know. I don't want to look like I am crazy and advertising GB as selling FAKE earphones but they might have a problem in their yard.

Yep - definitely fake. Pulled the fabric away and nothing in there. Submitted refund requests with list of faults/fake indicators and photos. Ordered mine about 2 weeks ago.

Is @George-gearbest still a member on here, he should really get involved if he is.

I bought from Gearbest for years but if they've started to sell counterfeit gear I won't in the future.

 

[maxxevv]

George is still around.
He was just updating his Gearbest thread just 2~3days ago.

He should chime in here ASAP to clear the air.

got myself a pair from alibaba, definitely genuine.

These IEMs are very impressive, I like them more than the 1More Triple Drivers. V shaped with prevalent trebles, tight controlled bass, the mids are slightly underwelming. The fit is decent if you replace the supplied tips and the overall value is outstanding.
Overall very refined, not was I was expecting.

I too like the Xiaomi more than the 1more triple.

btw the isolation is what I expected from dynamic drivers, OK but not on pure BA level.
