Just curious, because there's Sony MDR 7506 cans on ebay for $55 but I'd be lying if I didn't say that the fact that they're coming from "China" has me worried that they're fakes.

Yes they do and you can bet those are fake. They make fake sony 700s, 7506s, v6s, pioneer hdj-1000s. Hell there are even some really convincing fake HDJ-2000s with cast metal frames and hinges on ebay.

Thanks. Guess I'll just pay more to get them from an American seller. The price definitely seemed too good to be true.

one of the reasons I went with Sennheiser instead. i heard that they had been discontinued, and had heard the same thing from my local store since I wanted to try a pair as they still had them on their website. that lead me to think that some other reputable suppliers who were selling them on their website might not be the genuine article, and so I decided not to bother and instead go with the HD25's, which I must say I do not regret one bit.

Because probably the people buying stuff for dirt cheap from China don't expect to get the real deal. Fake doesn't necessarily mean bad, there's a lot of decent fake stuff out there. Originally Posted by djproben
