thats what counts, £30 still isn't that *much* for decentish earphones anyways they last long enough in most cases Hell my old cx300 originals as i said are hanging in there as my spares, and really i'm still more than happy to use them

You made the right choice. Having been done by fake CX300-IIs myself, it isn't worth penny pinching on them (though obviously genuine deals from genuine suppliers are sometimes out there to be had - I got two pair of CX500s that way).

Slightly worried now! I picked up a set for £15 from play (actually from play though, not a playtrade seller), i've compared it to the fakes photos on that forum and they seem legit. They're nearly a year old now and still going strong so i'm going to just tell myself they're legit and forget about it
Good earphone though to say the least.

Play themselves are safe. I got my CX500s from them too. PlayTrade on the other hand are not (I've had a few things via PlayTrade sellers now and had no trouble but I wouldn't risk it for things so often faked).

Indeed, the same ones Jonny linked to earlier, which I avoided after people put up fairly recent reviews complaining of poor build quality along with a lack of bass and so on, which just screamed fake at me.
I'm not convinced the stuff from indigostarfish is definitely genuine.

Well I just got burned with some fakes, so that's me out of pocket for a few quid. Forgot about the information we spoke about here and foolishly just bought them on Amazon. Definitely fakes and have fallen apart. Luckily I've been able to return them, but I'll be out of pocket for two lots of postage

After all this faffing over the bloody things, i've given them away now.
They got replaced by some UE Super.fi 5s which dabs were knocking out at £35 a while back. Far superior headphones and so the CX300s never got used all that much anyway. Gave them to my gf when she lost her iPod headphones.
