I'm not sure if its real or fake
if they sound like crap, then they are the real deal.
...I don't trust any Beats anymore. I was in China 4 times over the last few years for work and I've seen warehouses full of fake Beats, Louis, Prada, etc. They are VERY hard to distinguish now. It's actually pretty amazing. I even bought a 128GB SD card, absolute perfect Sandisk packaging, etc; only to be fooled with it being a reformatted 2GB. Everything was fake lol. They even had mock-up Apple Stores in Huaqiangbei, the mega electronics part of Shenzhen. I'm talking 10 story double-Costco size megamall buildings. Simply amazing.
Best of luck to you OP
I don't understand the logic. You find it amazing, but you don't trust some brand names because of illegally manufactured and labeled goods? Isn't that a bad thing as opposed to an amazing thing?
By "amazing", did you mean it's "disgusting" what China get's away with? Do you think it's amazing that these criminals can COPY other's packaging, and in some cases, government and third party, SAFETY labels?
Not trying to start a fight, just want to understand what you are saying.
Personally, I think it's a disgrace that people manufacture products, with other companies names on them (illegally) especially electronics, where they the potential to put people's safety at risk.
My 2 cents.

Oh no I definitely dont find the concept of copies amazing, but they do a damn good job at it. It's sickening that they get away with it, but when you see the entire scope of the market there it's jaw dropping. I was more trying to relay my awe of the size of the electronics market there. I'm very anti-piracy, but it is what it is.
