Although I do my best to bring you up to date with what’s going on in the counterfeit headphone market, one thing we should all be aware of is that things change, with small details here and there. Counterfeiters become more attentive to their products, and we become more trusting, as the fake products become harder to distinguish between the real things.

The good news is; not every pair of headphones is copied by unscrupulous people who seek to con you into handing over your money. For every fake model, there are a good number of genuine models that are available, especially online. You don’t have to stick to Sennheiser, or Sony. Why not try another manufacturer?

For earphones, you could look at Ultimate Ears, or Soundwise (CX300 alternative)

For headphones, Grado, Ultrasone.

DJ headphones, Sennheiser HD range, Kam headphones, Equation Audio RP21

Be adventurous, take the plunge. You might be surprise by what you hear.
