Nothing about this to me screams fake other than that code. @I see you may also be a thomasian, i have previously owned these but they were destroyed by my classmate, where did you get yours and how much?
accessories. Thought I was getting a good deal since they're only retailing 180 on Amazon right now.
I know a lot about earphones and headphones and I've a friend with the proper box for the ie80 which came straight from Sennheiser. There are fakes of all the top Senn and AT iem there. None of which alter the facts, though. The top to bottom imaging is not particularly impressive but it is performs well enough to let me enjoy the sound without missing it. Now you can buy them off almost anywhere. SQ is still better imo.Thanks for this review! The Sennheiser IE-80 S In-Ear Headphones sound accurate in their left to right sound imaging, producing a nice sense of space. Though I still felt underwhelmed by the sound (I'm not an expert audiophile) and my suspicion of a knockoff lingered with me. The Sennheiser logo is flush along a black/dark grayish color with no discoloration on the genuine IE8s. If you can justify the cost, and if your source player can justify it too, we think you’d be hard-pressed to find better. The IE800 look amazing but sound like shit.Don't think there are fake HD800's either but I could be wrong.Now the real test, is how do the fake ones sound compared to the real thing?So serious question: how much differs the sound?he said that they are and i believe him but i hope that i dont get ripped off. Sennheiser IE 800 review: verdict. What happened to yours? Though I still felt underwhelmed by the sound (I'm not an expert audiophile) and my suspicion of a knockoff lingered with me. You could also post pictures here and the many, many HD600 owners could probably tell you. If you report an item as a fake do eBay ever do anything about it. "Coincidentally", that same specifications "invoice" paper is in some "unverified authenticity" IE80 listings on eBay.
I'd still go for the IE8s. :)Which one of these is considered "fake and which one is real?my classmate detached the cord from the earphones now its 100% unrepairable, BTW this is a very nice review, this was actually the blog that convinved me to buy it, though now, I am torn between OEM Ie8 or Original Mx471 :)) The Sennheiser IE 800s are superbly made, brilliantly accomplished in-ear headphones. Both are the so called "OEM" versions of the said model. I'm a person that pays super close attention to detail and it even fooled me. edit: After looking at the new prices now that wish.com is FULL of IE 800 offers the price is WAY better. Sennheiser IE8 OEM / FAKE Review. If they sound like shit, they are fakeExcellent post, sorry to hear you got scammed.i ordered a pair of Monster Miles Davis Tributes last week and i asked the guy if the headphones are authentic.Just email Sennheiser. I've read there are fake AKGs going around too, specifically k7xx, k701 and k712. Good job on the pictures too. Either way I would not be too concerned.Crazy good knock off.
Verify SN.Just been so busy lately, I'll get to it when I have a chance.I've never heard of fake HD600, though I don't doubt one exists. Austin Evans probably got different ones. I even compared mine to old posts over at Head-Fi and they appeared to match the real photos.I know this as I just bought a HD600 two weeks ago, and I verified mine. Thus, we equipped the IE 80 S with an extremely durable housing and rugged, interchangeable cable with the well-known Sennheiser proprietary 2-pin connector that also allows for customization according to individual taste.

If you look on the box on the bottom you can find a code that you go straight to Sennheiser's website with to verify that yours is real.The ones they fake often are the IEM.Your cable bubble is false.
If the Sennheiser IE 800 S in-ears were to appear as the mystery thing in an episode of Bagpuss, Emily might bring them into her shop, lay them down in front of the old fat furry catpuss and say her magic words to wake him up. Sennheisers are some of the most counterfeited IEMs on the market, everything from their cheap CX series to their higher end IE80 and IE800.Were you able to get it resolved? I'm sending an email to Sennheiser. Was pretty convinced these were real since there were not many resources comparing the real to the fake. The fake IE8 body seems more "boxy" while the real IE8s seem more "organic" in their curvature. HD598 and lower tier models are commonly faked. Makes me wonder about the hd600s I just bought!The hd600 has crazy good drivers, you would be able to tell by the sound.
