I have the Tour In-Ear Beats and it's been working great for me. It's the best sounding that I've tried and I have tried a lot. Fits perfectly in my ear, the angled cord, and the tangle-free flat cable are great features. I can't wear headphones, so those are out of the question. Anyway, if you just bought it last week, why not just exchange it? Maybe you just got a bad one. They do come with a year warranty.

This is true, there are a bunch of fake ones being sold. I remember that this guy at Best Buy was exchanging his and they did a thorough check to make sure that his was authentic. One of the signs that it's authentic (at least for my model) is the "b" on the earphone is etched in but fake ones just have it printed.

They ARE real, I checked the SN on the website, Why would Bestbuy in NY sell a fake pair of beats?

It's hard to know why, they look almost the same (the boxes). They may be switched during distribution, etc. Or switched during a return/exchange if not looked carefully. Same thing applies for items bought at online retailers.

The green ones are official monster headphones. The color is a limited edition released to Best buy.

What difference does it make what anyone here tells you? You could've gotten an official answer by calling bestbuy for the time you made this thread :confused:

Look at it from my Stand Point, I bought these with my OWN money, less than 6 days ago for $299! Be logical, If I am paying $299 for headphones, I am going to get upset if the paint comes off!

I took them to best buy and they gave me brand new ones ! I inspected them and if anything else happens, it is my fault because these are perfect!

I can't find green Studios on the Monster site anywhere.

Found em, never mind.

Just exchange them, why not.

They didn't technically come out yet, Best Buy got them early! :cool:

Also, it just may mean that certain item is defective or a certain lot is. When I bought my iPhone Tour Beats, BestBuy ($169) also, one of the earphones went out just several days after I bought it. I returned it, notified them of the actual defect and I received a brand new one. I've had for at least 6 months with no problem.
