How must the divide look like where the two cables from each headphone get-together to one? In the youtube video is a difference... But everywhere I look, it looks like the "fake" in this video...

 http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=sZMKFHYAY7U  @ 1 min 17, the video says that left is the "original"

Mine are also bought from a B&O dealer, and I got the same Y connection between the cables, as described on the "fake" ones.

so, ebay.co.uk and ebay.de are full of fakes again - I often report these to ebay (who obviously don't give a damn - as they lose money when items are withdrawn without being sold)

Why the hell do B&O not take official action against ebay like Louis Vuitton did?

LVMH got €38.8 Million Euro from ebay as they did too little to prevent the sales of fakes.

A nice little financial boost

It'll be interesting to see how long it takes for fake coloured A8's to turn up on ebay!
