I think they are fake, they cost €30 a piece here, 2 for $14 incl. shipping? I had a pair some time ago (the original ones), did not sound very good, till someone told me to let it plays 48 hours to let the sounddrivers settle and loosen up (factory "stiffness"). And they did sound way richer after that. So new ones should sound a bit of dim, flat. If you say they sound excellent right out of the box, I have my doubts about them being original ones. Gave mine to my brother, couldn't stand the total isolation of the outside world.
