Just got mine out (which are real!) and the ones in your photo look identical in every respect.

if it is, then they are probably not real. : )

2nd hand?

my beoliving blog

yes, of course. totally forgot. well, if they're in good condition 44eur seems reasonable.

Looks like a good buy to me - assuming they make some noise. Most (?all) the fake Chinese ones I've seen (and bought a pair - not bad) have silver end caps and darker writing on them.

i wouldn't buy them. they do look genuine however you don't know how they have been treated. Clearly they have been used because the black cap has fallen off. while this is known to happen on occasions, it doesn't usually happen without a reason.

They are ridiculously cheap at the dealers brand new.  :)

Regarding the black cap, mine both fell off with no reason at all (without abuse) mind you they BOTH fell off, so it may have been a factory fault.

Go to a dealer, you won't regret it.

Once you have B&o you rarely go back

the fake ones have an aluminium tip on the branch that goes arount the ear. these are real.

If you buy from a dealer, you take no risk. You also get a good warranty, customer service, and it only costs a few dollars more.

Its not just a product, its a way of life...

I am afraid fakes get better all the time. The colour of the writing and the end caps will change. Buying second hand means you cannot be sure. Why does the seller have two pairs he is selling? A picture is simply not enough to tell. I wouldn't buy them but they are cheap. The fakes are not bad earphones - but they are not A8s.
