    They can be got from amazon for about £4.99 plus postage. Same with ebay. Prices rise to £10.99 on amazon. Thats why i thought they were fake!

    So there good then, would shure E2c's be much better ie worth the extra 40 odd euro?

    Don't buy CX300's off ebay!, not ever, fake 300's are rampent on that site, really you're better of paying a bit extra just to guaranty you get the real deal.

    Here's a nice review of the 300's versus the E2C's: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12054

    Can't say for sure, they retail for 40 pounds sterling so those prices seem insanely low, so low that they wouldn't make a profit if they were real.
    Kinda dodgy how the used ones are more expensive too...

    Ye exactly my thoughts. Its hard to know. If anyone has bought a real pair from ebay or amazon if they could tell me a seller that would be great.

    I bought a genuine pair of cx300 earphones a few weeks ago from a seller called Kuen2008. Here's the link for the earphones: http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120164624451&ssPageName=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIX&refitem=120150251001&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&refwidgettype=osi_widget

    There are fake ones out there but there are far more genuine ones out there too. You need to read the negative feedback comments for a seller on ebay before you commit to purchasing from them. If any seller sells fake merchandise they almost certainly will get negative feedback.

    No offence but it can be quite hard to spot a fake pair of buds. Are you positive yours are genuine ?

    I bought a pair of those in 3G in Galway before Xmas last year for €24.99, Were they priced wrong?
