I have been hearing more and more about fake Beoplay A1, A2, S3 and others that are being sold as new in flawless looking B&O sealed packaging.  Anyone else have any experience with this?

Certainly seen some on auction sites. Usually packaging not quite right but they get better all the time. There was a flood of the earphones when they were new.

I nearly bought a pair of BL90 but my keen eye and years on this forum helped me spot the subtle details that were on closer inspection a sure sign of being fakes.

Don't be silly, those are fake Pentas.

 

Here's a youtube video comparing real and fake Beoplay A1's.   Impossible to tell the difference without comparing the sound - and some might prefer the sound of the fakes...  Unsure

After being quite fascinated with all these fake listings I actually stumbled across what I believe to be counterfeit Beolab 90s!

What do you guys think of this?

If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.
