Simple Solution For Complicated Fake Bose Triport IE Problem
Debunking counterfeit Bose Triport IE earphones
Having just come off the phone to a representative of Bose UK, things have got slightly more complicated regarding fake Bose Triport IE’s. The concern is the green lettering on the front of the plastic box, which is different. On the left , is a picture found on ebay.co.uk and on the right an image found on ebay.com. As you can see the lettering is completely different.
It gets even more tricky
I have to be careful of what i say, but I was told that around the world there are three different types of packing, including …. a cardboard box! A cardboard box? Yep, so its not as clear cut as first thought. But we’re always grateful for in put into trying to debunk unscrupulous sellers.
The Solution
The solutions are easy to follow, however you must remember that there are genuine sellers who for one reason or another, want to sell their Bose IE earphones, for genuine reasons. So it’s not always easy to tell the genuine sellers from those trying to rip you off. what you need to understand is;
1) Authorized Bose dealers are not allowed to sell Bose products on 3rd party sites, such as ebay or amazon.
2) They should always sell for around the RRP. Anything lower than 10% below the RRP, view with suspicion.
3) Around the world there are 3 different types of packaging, including the cardboard packaging.
4) Buy Only from an Authorized dealer.

Sorry to hear That Brian. As far as I’m aware, yes the Genuine items have seriel numbers. Sorry for your loss. Im doing my best to get info to the masses before they buy.
hey even i am having a box man now i can say welcome to the fake club kk tell me which r the other 2 packages else than the box
HI,
I just want to help ou those who are not sure and to be aware of all the fakes.
I think i got some fake ones,reason “price”.
And some other points to whatch out,for my understandings,the original Bose (i got the cardbord version) the letters are suppouse to be Yellow no greenish as they are on mine,i DO HAVE a serial number but its a standart one.
The metal mesh seems cheepand you can see some glue spots on it.
When you take the rubber off, that little mesh onthe original Bose IEM have a hole in the mesh,tha fake one doesnt.
So at forst i got quite angree,but realising that i`ve only payed 40 euros and honestly i got some sennheisser cx300 and apple ones, but even beeing fake they got a marvolouse sound,even doe theyre a bit low volume, but i found the quallity great.
Im a music freak so what i found out the i rather aim on some UE Triple if.10 Pro`s, they god damn expensive arround $ 350, but as it looks and reading ,any reviews,there would be only one copetitor, the Shure SE530 but my vote after many reviews goes for “UE”.
