Update! Was out looking for deals at our local indoor flea market over the weekend. There is this large store rumored to be owned by the Chinese mafia ?!?. I do know the people who run it come down by bus every week from NYC. Anyways they usually have a bunch of cheap junk, but some stuff is ok. I picked up some kitchen sponges and was paying for them and saw some Beats look alikes under the counter. I said to the wife "hey look they look like Beats". Well, the old guy behind the counter pulls out a set of Beats Studio earbuds new in the box and says try these. I didn't have anything to try them on but the looked like the real deal, right down to the packaging. For $10 they gotta be fakes but their darn good ones. I bought em', got em' home and tried them, they sound better than my Klipsch earbuds, going back on Saturday to pick up another pair for myself. Beats problem solved courtesy of the Chinese mafia.
i wonder what percentage pure lead those things are?? I tend to worry about Chinese manufacturing materials and practices when buying legit products...god knows what they do when making fakes?
.02 and possibly worth everybit ... but i'd be concerned, I'd make sure she knows what the deal is with these if you give them to her. Personally I'd be very torqued off if i found out someone knowingly gave me counterfeits as a gift after representing them as the real deal.
