not much different between the two. as it provide almost the same packaging/accessories
rules before buying this kind of thing.
1. don't buy if the price is too good to be true.. its a widespread in malaysia too, as the seller keep saying its "original OEM" or whatever hell terms they used to legalised this thing.
2. you can see from the heat shrink wrapping. you can tell whether its fake or original. use ur instinct.

Yeah... Agree with that...
Price = quality
I spent 3 out of the last 4 years in Iraq and the locals always the knock-offs for sale at the bazzar.
those are fake if im guessing right you are probably trying to buy them from alibaba.com where they sell these for about 25 dollars a piece. i bought some beats pro detox editions and they look absolutely legit even out of the box but the sound was decent. and you can tell by the shrink wrapping they are fake.
why would you gamble with an inferior quality pair of headphones (Beats) anyway. There are much cheaper brands which won't be red but will sound better, for the cheaper price

Couldn't agree more. The way I see it either:
1. You want quality sound. Don't buy Beats.
2. You want headphones that look trendy. Buy knockoffs, save money. Real ones won't sound good anyway.
I wouldn't trade my 90.00 Bose for any pair of beats

uhhh, those are fake
FAKE....trust me I see these EVERYDAY....
Since all of this crap is made in China, what you are getting is grey market factory pulls. B Stock.
Just from the few glimpses of the box. I'm going to have to say fake.
I'm sorry to say...it's fake.
the appearance of cable is different to the genuine one
These look like fakes to me and I agree with jRiOT68.

They look real to me? Why are you questioning them?
Well for one thing, you should buy earphones in which you have to distinguish whether they're fake or not. Meaning Beats are a mistake to buy.
Anyways, these are probably fake.

Purchase real Dr. Dre Beats via the official website,
http://beatsbydre.com/
fake i recognise this pakage.
2 of my friends have beats headphones one is real and the other is fake. There is no difference between so my conclusion that not all headphones are fake some have some minor problems but official reseller won't sell them because of that just like the textile world, you can find original brands in small shops because of the same reason. Anyway, I don't recommend beats by Dre because it is just gimmick.

hey guys what do you feel about the sound quality of the bundled earphones. i feel they are really bad. so how does a creative ep-630 compare with it? also suggest other repalcements.
I agree with you. It is very bad. The EP-630 is certainly much better.
Brother I used creative in-ear's but currently I am using Skullcandy Titan and its really produce great sound.
I just love Skullcandy. Even it is repairable

what i hate hate mainly hate about the bundled earphones is the bass. it is spread out and not solid. so how is the bass of the skull candy earphone?
I think I cant able to make u understand that hows It's bass.
Just one word to say.
Aaawwwweeeeeeesssssooommee
Guys you're comparing absolutely different things XD it's a bundle and I wanna say they are pretty good for a bundle, for example when you're byuing a MP3 player in 99 cases out of 100 you can throw away bundle ears even not trying them, they're just to ensure that there IS sound from device XD
UPD and yeah, I prefer to use Cowon iAudio7 + Audiotechinca for music, not a cell phone )
senheiser CX 300 II
I got frankenphones now
cut off original earbuds, soldered in some Panasonic in-ear ones I had (which had the stupidest cable I've ever seen, but great sound quality), so I've got good phones and handsfree. It even doesn't look very bad if the cable is black and the speakers are white
I have some earphones from sony but works great! !!

Hi!
Does anyone use AKG K370 headsets with the i5800? I am looking for some high quality replacement of the bundles, but there are hints on the net that this model doesn't work well with some non-Apple and non-Blackberry headsets (unfortunately no info for Samsung ones).
I'm still giving Samsung credit for giving at least this good earphones, which imo aren't that bad. I compared them with Senheister CX300 and EP-830 and can say It's lacking bass, but is superior compared to headphones you usually (those huge non-in-ear headphones that you usually see in nokia phones..)
For the record, I've already RMA'd two EP-830's for being faulty
In my opinion bundled earphones are good.
Skull candy all day
Those headphones aren't perfect, but they aren't some cheappy earphones.
I listen about 30 minutes music a day and those are perfect for that use !
Problems with Zagg Smartbuds
I just bought a pair of Zagg Smartbuds to use with my I5801 as listed here: http://www.fommy.co.uk/view-full-pag...ts&skuno=87340
When I got them, they didn't work in the phone. They did work in every other 3.5 jacked device I had access to. After reading this forum (and others) I am wondering if the Galaxy Apollo has the same 3.5 jack as the Galaxy S.
I don't really want to spend $17 for the adapter only to find out that my phone has a different problem.
Can anyone confirm that the apollo has the same physical plug as the S?
See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713350
Thanks.
Very strange, I use my Beats by Dre with my SG3. Every earbuds i've tried are working
i too find the bundled ones good
i use them daily for about 1hr
I like it, much better than the ipod one and when I go running it never fall
They have a nice quality, imo.
I got a pair of earphones from dealextreme for 2 bucks and they do an amazingly good job, even compared to 10-15 $ ones
I really want them the big one, the monster beats, i am not really fussed about the quality but i just want the headphones, its so cool.
Do you know where I can get them, please post a link here. It doesnt matter where its from.
if you find out let me know
if u dont care about the quality then buy the knockoffs from ebay, either way you're really wasting your money on beats.
i don't know maybe best buy got them? i may go check them out if they have them
A good source for knockoffs is dealextreme.com
Already have a couple from there too
Sent from my MZ601 using XDA Premium App
buy them from monster's outlet store. They are refurbs but no one will know that but you.
Linky
Dont buy the beats... pricey for the specs they have... look at sennheiser if you want to spend that much money on headphones worth it.
Mind you im gnoring your comment about not fussing about quality, because buying headphones that sound like that and paying that much for them is just... silly

dealextreme has cheap earphones, and I bought my original beats headphone from dinodirect.com for only €60
Sent from my Xperia Neo using XDA App
Yeah Dealextreme has some good knockoffs for an alright price.
As a former DJ I have compared my ancient technics to a set of beats. I have to say not worth the cash. But if you are going for looks, then I can see the harm in a set of knock off's or refurbs.
I got these headphone and can honestly say they ant worth the money
Don't waste your money. Beat's are overpriced and highly overrated.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
There are boatloads of counterfeit Beats headphones being manufactured in Shenzhen and openly sold in Huaqiang, with many varieties of styles for their whole lineup. If you want the headphones for just the look, just buy the knock-offs they should be quite cheap depending on source.
Beats are for suckers that care nothing about quality and only want to be seen wearing them.
dealextreme has a lot of really cheap things like dre beats headphones.

Go there and read up on some real head phones. You are paying for marketing, not quality.
Sent from my Ice Cold Inspire 4G
Like everyone else is saying by knockoffs if your just looking for the loom. They'll be almost exactly the same in every way. I just bought 4 pairs off eBay for $15 shipped each, so I can give them to people as gifts. But if you want good headphones get some senhiesers or something similar.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
I would go with Sennheiser (I have an IE6), or AKG.
Amazon or Craigslist - I find lots of knockoffs on each site.
Or Sennheiser, better headphones, about $100 less.
I just thanked everyone that says there are better alternatives to beats or say that it's not worth the price. YOU GUYS DESERVED IT.

how on earth i can know it they are real or fake ? i won them in an auction on ebay for 38 pounds
Link to ebay listing

Rear image of box
If I'm not wrong, then they seem to be fake, 'cause they don't have the TM (trademark) sign besides the word 'Monster' at the bottom... I could be proven totally wrong though..

Show dr.dre face.
i think this fake
Mate I'm sorry to say that I think it's a fake:
At the bottom of "dre": No TM
And excuse if I'm wrong (I'm not a specialist of Beats), the picture is one with the remote control on the wire
this pic is from ebay listing i won i havn't recived them yet but after watching like 50 youtube video i find out that there is no way to tell if they are real or fake untill you have real one to compair with :/
We all pray for you mate
God bless your purchase
I'm pretty sure that's fake because theres no TM sign. However you can try it and compare it with a real one. If you're unhappy, you can probably return it.
i think they are fake,any link of listing?
every box similar has a tm next to his name, except those read headphone box and this listing from the Philippines
www.quezoncity.olx.com.ph/for-sale-beats-by-dr-dre-earphones-iid-260649353
The serial number? All the fake seem to have the same serial, you can take it in to best buy or somewhere to get it checked. Or HMV or somewhere like that.
you'd be amazed at how many fakes are out there, riddling ebay with claims of authenticity.
i bought 3 beats by dre pro headphones with a CES discount direct from monster, and sold 2 on ebay. the first was skeptical, the second claimed they were fake. i had to actually call and talk to the person, as well as send an email filled with details to distinguish fakes and true headphones.
my last one is collecting dust. they're great at a discount price, but not the retail price.

No offense but why do people buy beats by dre? They seem overpriced for what else is in the same price range.

If you know how to read and search: I have Beats audio mode (placebo or not, I feel a difference) WITH Voodoo Louder (a hack) AND an AKG K518DJ
So go on Google, search "AKG K518DJ" and you'll know
And it's not relevant, because the dude has already order and just wants an advice if it's fake or not and not about the quality of Beats that I agree is overrated and is a piece of marketing (for me)
looks fake. don't buy beats anyways

Hey guys I wanted to share this headphones I got off Ebay. I have the ibeats but one ear bud broke so I wanted to find a cheaper alternative. And after hours of online searching I came across this nice headphones. I was very surprised that when I put them on they were actually louder than the beats headphones and the sound was almost exactly the same.
Here are some pictures of them.

Took the seller about a week and a half for the earbuds to get here. But the packaging was nice and seal.
The headphones have an inline Mic and one button that works great and with headset Droid app. Is perfect.
Again I actually like the sound better on this headphones then my beats.
I'm in no way shape or form associated with noisehush.
Just wanted to share. And feel free to ask any questions.
Edit: I forgot to tell you guys some of the features about them.
Jack is gold plated 3.5mm
Rated power 2mw-10mw
Frequency range 20Hz-20kHz
Cable length 3.9 feet
Impedance 16 ohms
sensitivity 96dB/1mW
Driver unit 8mm
The cable is tangle free. Made of some kind of rubber. Feels kinda sticky to the skin. But I'm very happy with them overall.

so how much did you pick them up for? I work as technician for sprint and we sell them at my store fir $60, my discount can get me them for $13 so im tempted to pick a pair up. my coworker claims the sound quality it crappy but that is his opinion, so i guess my question to you is, would you recommend i pick up a pair vs a pair of dre beats? thanks in advance

So since we didn't receive any Hi-Res earbuds in the US I was looking for some that sounded great without breaking the bank and I think I found a winner. For only $26 you can't beat the quality. I ordered mine directly from the mi.com website to ensure I didn't get some fakes. They have dual drivers also just like the HTC 10 and sound better than my beats urbeats for sure. http://www.mi.com/en/headphonespro/

I never has the piston2, but I did have a pair of the mi colorful editions which sound great also but I gave them to my son since he lost his others. And those were only $5 shipped so for the price it's really hard to beat their headphones and the quality is great.

Yeah I agree in term of bang for bux xiaomi is hard to beat.
KZ Ates are very very good with the 10 and for only 9$ delivered free with aliexpress it's crazy not to buy them.
The bundled Hi-res earphones are slightly better in terms of soundstage but a bit too much on treble side, the KZ Ates are more balanced but with an emphasis to bass though without making shades over other channels, they have a great amount of details too.
They have a memory wire perfect for sports
I've got Xiaomi Piston 2s and yes, Xiaomi makes the best price to performance earbuds on the market. I lose earbuds quite a bit, this is my second pair of Piston 2s, and I had 2 pairs of Piston 1s as well. Hopefully I don't lose these, but when I inevitably do I'll grab the new ones.
Hard to argue with xiamois price to performance. But a dynamic + BA hybrid is hard to come by for <100. Might have to try these out.
