Kendev here showing you all how you cn spot a fake beats by dre headphone. I had a few questions already about the differences and here it is, all differences i spotted. A lot of work went into this, but i finnaly got it right. I hope this helps you out if you where planning on buying one. DON'T GET SCAMMED! The product on the left is always the ORIGINAL, while the product on the right is always the IMITATION. Starting with the front cover, it is clear that the imitation good does not bear the "tm" (trademark) sign beneath the word "studio" on the bottom left hand corner of the box (may be a little small, but you can see that a little dot of text is missing from the picture on the right). At the back of the box, you can see that the pictures of the headphones are slightly different. They are positioned slightly differently. Then there's also the lack of the "tm" sign beneath the "studio" word at the bottom left corner. "tm" is also missing on the vertical text on the left of the box beneath the word "dre", and is also missing from the last line of the last paragraph of text. On the side of the box, it is obvious that the picture on the original is smaller than that of the imitation product. The original also mentions that batteries and the airline adapter are included, while the imitation doesn't mention that at all. Dr Dre's headshot. Very clearly different. The printing on the fake is generally much darker, and you can't see his neck area very well. His neck is clearer on the original. Also do note the use of a " | " instead of a " / " between "beatsbydre.com" and "monstercable.com" on the original and imitation respectively. Also, there's a whacked up model number on the bottom right hand corner of the fake one, and there isn't any on the real one. Removing the jacket to reveal the red box, we can see that the black pull-out tab on the real deal is longer than that of the imitation. Clear differences here. A blind man could tell the difference. On the back of the quick-start guide, there are subtle differences in font size and the usage of " | " and " / " again. Once again, real deal on left, imitation on right. Super big difference between the provided cleaning cloths. Original cloth is huge. Fake one is tiny. These 2 documents are provided with the real deal and not with the imitation. The battery cover of the real deal, of course, has the serial number and Dr Dre's signature. The fake doesn't have any (Picture of fake battery cover not included, just imagine an empty space where the signature and serial should be). NB: This last doesnt apply with the Solo and Solo HD. Cya!
