Did I just buy fake ATH-M50xs from Amazon???

[Guest]

Well, I came across this:

Turns out I bought from "Crazy deals LLC" which is unauthorized and one guy in a review said to beware of. I have a buddy in America who just shipped it to Qatar, where I lived. It is already on its way here, and returning would just be as much as the headphones.
Did I just buy fake headphones?

You won't know until you can inspect them yourself. From the link:


An unauthorized online reseller may be offering counterfeit, damaged, used or defective product.

It could also be fine. You should know soon. Good luck!

Just a little pissed off...
I'll report Thursday-Friday ish when the package comes. I'll report back

Good luck. May the Force be with you (couldn't hurt).

Hey you think I can confirm the headphones with this?

So if it is a fake, it won't show up in the serial number area? You know what I am trying to say?

You will certainly know soon enough.
