MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Need to get some in-ear headphones for the other half and dont want to spend more than a tenner really. Tried getting some Sennheiser CX 300 ones from play.com (through play trader) and they were definately fake. So rather than go through that again, I want to get them from a shop.
So recommendations and what shops would be great.

If you're really strapped for cash JVC Gumy are pretty good for the money - less than a fiver from Amazon, most supermarket will have them for £7-8. I prefer them to CX300s...
Just today I've ordered some CX 300s to replace some broken Sony MDR-EX085s (v. poor build quality). I bit the bullet and ignored the cheap deals to avoid ending up with fakes though.
Paid £23 at Play.
I've just ordered dome CX300 2s from Amazon
£12.68 including postage.

beamers- id be very suspicious of those. Thats a £40 set of headphones for a fraction of the price. Do a quick google and you will see that theres more fakes out there than real ones (especially on ebay and amazon)
Mmm. I'm basing the my purchase on what I read in T3 about those headphones being £17:

On further investigation via the [url= http://www.sennheiser.co.uk/sennheiser/globals.nsf/resources/Headphones_Price_List_2011_01c.pdf/$File/Headphones_Price_List_2011_01c.pdf ]company website[/url] what you say ads-b is correct.
I'll be inspecting them carefully when they arrive.
I got mine for £17, but was direct from play and not via a trader. Happy to compare when you get yours.
I thought that alot of The CX-300 were grey imports
Anyway I thinks these are great for the money
£11.25 from amazon
I lost my CX=300s and these are and these don't seem very differnt sound wise
Ref my potential fake headphone purchase I just e-mailed the seller via Amazon asked them to confirm that they are selling original kit.
The reply:
"I can confirm we only sell original Sennheiser products."
I'll be saving that e-mail exchange somewhere nice and safe.
I work on the principle that, unless you're spending decent money on etymotics or shures, then treat all in ear headphones as disposable and spend as little as possible.
I usually just pick up whatever in in HMV for £10.
There was a really good thread over the weekend with a £20 price range , but some were alot less

Yuin PK3s for £26 was the best money I've spent in ages 🙂
Well, my £12.68 Sennheiser CX 300 2s have arrived and according to [url= http://fakeheadphones.com/pictures/sennheiser-cx300-fake-vs-genuine/ ]linky 1[/url] and [url= http://fakeheadphones.com/sennheiser-cx300-ii-fake-and-genuine-comparison-houston-weve-had-a-problem/10/2009/ ]linky2[/url] (login required for this one) the headphones which I have received are indeed the genuine article.
Oh, and they sound great too so to be honest I wouldn't be that fussed even if they were fake. (Not that I condone the production and purchasing of fake merchandise your understand.)
