My original ones are still great after so many years. What is so great about these after market ones that would make me want to buy them ?

After several years of use they were showing extreme wear so I replaced them. You stated that yours are still great after many years. Consider using the comparison, are you still using the same tooth brush after the same amount of time.

The reason I replaced mine is that one of the side brushes was curled off to one side from leaning next to the wheel for awhile. The new one took care of that for us.

That is what I purchased these for. I am assuming by "original" you mean the same ones I have, which look just like the new ones, but came with a simpler rubber ear piece without the hook. These work much better!

I had mine for over 1.5 years and it's seems like the original I have. It was legit when I bought it.

They are genuine. I wouldn't have bought them if they weren't. They work well. I'm just not sure how long they're gonna last, cause the originals didn't last very long.

personally i just like the feel. originals give my ears a clammy feeling which i don't dig. it's a personal thing, ya know?

I bought new 901 VI's factory direct in November of '09. Nothing on them or the boxes says anything about "Mk2" so maybe they are not the new ones...whatever, they sound great to me! Definitely better than the Series IV's I had back in the 70's. More neutral in tone and more flexible with the choice of two different bass eq curves.

Absolutely yes. I had somewhere hundreds hours of use and they working so good. It took me triple time to work with them then the originals.I positively recommend it.

Amazon has not even existed for 19 years. How can you expect a sound or certain answer. How about this: they last for a while. Then you buy a new pair because these are cheap but work great.

I'm not sure. I never had a problem with mine. I used mine up already and I don't believe they last as long if they were dated. If they were dated ten years from now, would you want to wait that long to see if they were still good?

I love mine. They are more a convienence than a permanent way to play. They do exactly what they were designed to do and the sound great for what they are.

It is the original, on the market since 1979. As far as I know, was available (most likely still manufactured) until about 2005. Although old, it seems to hold well. Had my last purchase of it on line, about 1 year ago, and although produced years ago, I was not disapointed.

I was in the same boat, but I think they are the best bang for your buck. Had them for 2 years now, still loving them

I bought them 2 summers ago. They are in the trash now. At the time they were the newest on the market, so I'm not sure if there are newer ones now or not.

The going rate on eBay for these is around $100-$150, so $80 is a reasonable price. As another response said, these are discontinued and apparently popular.

Add me to the list. Bought 5 of them a few years back and been trying to find these anywhere on the web to restock. Never paid more than $12 and now it's $75. 99% sure that discontinued.

Mama T answered the question as far as I can tell. I have had them since 2009 and they still look good as new. Not one problem.

Yes they are originals. Watch out for those marked "Re-manufactured" though, they are not quite the bargain they appear to be.
