Thanks: Gave 23, Got 0 |  Fake CX300 from AMAZON? - PLEASE HELP
(This carrys on from my previous thread) Sent my ebay fakes back and purchased some off amazon, they have the 90° silver plug, but came in a small sealed silver backed bag with no documentation just a sticker on the front (exactly like the ebay fakes) surely if you pay 20 odd quid for phones they should come in proper packaging
and i have got to say they sound the same as the fakes a very dull deep sound, surely these cant be fake off amazon can they?
what is the packaging supposed to be like, are there any other distintive signs, the first pair off ebay had a rubbery lead, the amazon phone leads are 'plasticky'
i am getting really p****** off Please help, i may have to send these back rapid so i can get a refund.
cheers

If they are Sennheiser original CX300's they should come in a "Blister Pack". AFAIK, there are no other package forms from Sennheiser.
If you're not happy or simply unsure, send them back to Amazon and ask for replacements.

I can confirm that the set I got from Play.com came in a blister pack with a warrantly leaflet and spare rubber things which were in a small plastic bag sealed with tape and a staple.
The packaing was dark blue if I remember correctly with a flash of yellow and gray perhaps.
Mine have a 90 degree silver jack and the lead is like a firm rubbery feel, if that makes sense.
Perhaps your are Amazon returns?
Also, did you get them from Amazon themselves of one of the eBay-like sellers on Amazon?
If you're not happy then return then and get some from Play.com

Did you buy from Amazon or the Amazon market place.

For what it's worth, as someone who posted about getting cx300's from Amazon, I bought them from Amazon direct, not a marketplace seller. I can confirm that when delivered, they came exactly as you would expect and as described by others here (except that the cardboard back of the blister pack is a pale duck egg blue, not that unlike the background colour of these forums!).

I borught mine from Hughes today!

Trust me though, you will know if they are fake because the sound quality on the real things is astonishing. And the bass is......er.....crazy!!

I received mine from an Amazon Marketplace seller yesterday and they came in a blister pack (where the plastic appears to have been 'pressed' onto a cardboard background - it's hard to break open) with a dark grey background and a lighter grey and yellow insert. The spare earplugs and warranty were in a small plastic bag above the headphones. I believe that seems to be the hallmark of genuine CX300s. Oh, and the sound. It's phenomenal.
