Those are one of the many Chinese knockoffs you will find on eBay. Be cautious! If it's too cheap to be true, it probably is...

...but somehow there aren't many bad feedback on the seller. If you're willing to take the risk, there's a guide out there that can help you determine if what you received is a fake.

I dont know why everyone is so scared when they see stuff dirt cheap on ebay - me personally, I jump at it and buy it ASAP.
Thats a starting bid, he probably hoped the price would go up more.

I've bought tons from ebay and so far its all been pretty good with good response from buyers if I've had problems.

Those phones are faked like there's no tomorrow. Get em from amazon.

I'd just get some jvc marshmallows for 8 bucks off of circuit city online. Senns are damn risky unless you're spending at least $25 or so from a reputable retailer.

How about these SkullCandy's?

They're pretty good for the price. Pretty much the same performance as the marshmallow's. In the end they are great replacement for not ruining your high end IEM's ie. in the gym i like'em IMO.... btw i have the black ones which prob. doesn't matter anyway >.<

I bought some dirt cheap CX300s from eBay, and I was pretty sure they were going to be fakes. When they arrived they looked genuine, but I was still dubious, just because of the low price I paid.

I checked them against some pictures I found on a site that shows you the difference between fakes and genuine models, and I changed my mind and decided they were probabluy genuine.

The certainly sounded okay, and whether they were fake or not they were worth the £10 I paid (including postage).

That said, I gave them to my sister, as I found them a little too bass heavy and a bit uncomfortable.

No, go for the JVC Marshmallows, they're the best value for canalphones, especially since Circuit City has them on sale.

head fiers like them both, dude :-) amazing, no?

And it's only the ink'd. The smokin' buds are always horrible, no matter what the price point. I hear that the former pair have an airy sound, which is interesting considering that it's not a characteristic that most inner-ear models have.

My mallows are interesting as well...if you like Deep, deep bass...like 8 hz deep...they're rather amazing. Not for acoustic jams or shredding rock imo, but great for anything that needs a lot of body in the sound. I'm still impressed.

Burn in so far has been about 30 hours....goal is 100+.

i understood a inch of what you just said...

Ill take a guess:

Ink'd - Good
Smokin - Bad?
