They have never come with a wire extension...

 

Incorrect. Every pair i've bought at the dealer has had an extension cord included.

 

And yes the earlier years they were sold in the black box, but with B&O gliph in big silver font on the centre of the box, it's a cinch to identify once you have owned a pair of a8's, the pouch is totally different, the fake looks cheap and hand made.

From what I can tell, no. Those look real to me.

Hmmm, that is interesting. Could you share when you bought your A8s? My pair did not come with an extension. 

I bought mine December of last year.
