That's excellent 11048437 and many thanks for the link,

Would you mind me pinning this in the ebay section of beoworld?

I've taken the liberty of posting the link you found as an announcement on the ebay section as it is a subject which crops up more than any other there. I am going to leave your post here on the general section as I really think this subject warrants the attention of the general membership.

Once again, thank you very much for this excellent bit of investigation it is really appreciated.🙂

Very useful , the case is truly awful on the fakes, the split on the cable is one of the few giveaways on the actual headphones. Is the movement damped on the fakes as it is on the real ones?

Great! From now on I'm going to use that link when I report auctioned fakes on the Swedish auction site Tradera. I've reported several auctions (at least 15...) to Tradera (owned by Ebay) the last month, but they don't seem to take it seriously.

Can somebody tell me if these A8 earphones are original or fake? Photo beneath:

They seem to be original for me though I am not sure. I have only this photo. What do you think?

The A8 is orginal, but the picture may be not  take by the seller...

 

Ask another picture with your name write on a paper near the headphone

 

Thank you for your advice. I have asked the seller to send me a better picture. I got a reply that he is sorry because he hasn't at the moment a camera! Strange...

Do you think that these ones are original?  I just want to hear a second opinion...
