How do I know these are genuine headphones from X1 and not fake by a third party? Since these cost $59.99 straight from X1s site, it seems these would have to be copies to get them for less.

Beware of these earphones. After 2 months of light use in the gym the left side stopped working.

I bought them, but would not recommend them as I had the first pair replaced under warranty (30 days) and the 2nd pair lasted about 3 months until one side stopped working.

item comes with the original box, and the sound seems like it is not a fake one. because I used it under salt water and the quality was really good. and also still working.

If you got them through Amazon, you're most likely ok. But there were (at least in the past) a LOT of counterfeit Monster Turbines (regular, Gold & Copper) on the market.The biggest tell-tale sign of the fakes is a recessed grill. You'll find some images here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/512386/fake-monster-turbine-pro-copper-comparing-real-vs-fakeBTW, congrats on your purchase. Assuming these are genuine, these are about the best IEMs you can buy, for any price :-)

Yes as long as the headphones are a legit product from monstercables. A lot of phonies out there. You can register your headphones with monster using the serial number. You shouldnt have to worry about buying some counterfeit headphones from amazon. They are a supporter of monstercable

The headphones are not fake. But they are not the same headphone offered by Amazon.com as Pro beats $399.00 (most current model) They are Monster Pro by beats. They should actually show an M logo on the picture but don't because they apparently want people to think they are just like the model being sold by Amazon.com. The Monster Pro beats have been discontinued. A good headphone but not worth $309.00. They sell for around $200-250 elsewhere.

They are legit. Even if they were knockoffs, I've had 100% work out of 200+ disks so far and data integrity looks good as well. Personally it wouldn't matter to me if they were knockoffs with that record.

I don't see any authentic PX100 [original/classic] anywhere on the web or fleabay now. If anyone knows of authentic, let me know. and for you who use them, know them, know the competition - what's the alternative?I use mine for live sound - i'm a bassist and occasional guitarist - these work so stinking well with my personal mixer.... incredibly clean, do not color, efficient yet will not clip unless stupidity sets in.

I bought a pair of Sennheiser CX300B's on eBay, and got a fake pair. They look completely real, and don't have any of the signs of being fake that other people posted online, but I noticed one difference (aside from the sound quality): The plastic on the headphones is cheap and shiny, not grainy in texture and slightly rubbery like the real ones. Do not buy these on eBay. The person I bought from seemed 100% legitimate, as they had no negative feedback and had sold a couple pairs of these before. I paid $20 for a piece of useless plastic that delivers terrible sound, and I'd advise anybody not to take that chance. I bought a pair of Sennheiser CX300B's on eBay, and got a fake pair.

No, they are not. We ended up buying the real thing directly from the Sony site because these just didn't work.

If you get em from amazon, they're real. I have a pair myself, and they work just fine.

LG reflective sticker on box shows authenticity. The coating on the blutooth is shiny. The fake ones are dull. The logo on bluetooth has the perfect LG printing. The fake one appears large and does not seem like the original LG logo (You have to really look at the LG logo to determine a real from a fake) The real one offers 3 sets of different earbuds sizes, and also a warranty card. Knockoffs does not offer a warranty card. Also buy from a seller that has good standings with amazon - the ones that have sold a lot of things (preferabbly in the thousands), and look for 4-5 star rating. Dont buy from 3 and under star rating. Good luck

These are not real Apple headphones. They come in the same container and packaging as real ones, but the sound is very different. Real Apple headphones have a more distinct bass and fuller sound, unlike these ones. Recommend buying them from Apple store instead of third-party sellers.

I bought mine more than a year ago. I don't remember clearly about the package, but from impression in the quality of the headphone I believe mine is genuine. And I'm the person who use headphone pretty intensively, if mine was fake, I would not believe how it can last for more than one year. Still using it now. The buyers who got unoriginal products possibly bought them from other seller other than JVC but leaving reviews here.

The set I ordered appear to be the real thing. If they are counterfeit, they are very very nice copies. They sound nice and make no squeaks or clicks when you adjust them. Nice headphones.

Yes they are new and in sealed original packaging. Very legitimate. You have nothing to worry about. They really sound great as well.

I'd buy directly from Amazon. There are a lot of HD 598 fakes out there, and your chance of getting a fake increases greatly if buying from an unknown third party seller. (Note there are a few trusted third party sellers like Adorama.) I wonder if a lot of the poor reviews here of the 598s are from buyers who unknowingly got fakes.

They're real, Amazon.com is an authorized dealer in the sennheiser site so you're good.

It was not a fake. I had complete Sony packaging. I bought the fake later on and the sound quality was terrible. The Sony was great.
