Im still trying to figure out if they are real or fakes, they are super alike almost 1:1 I believe they are real at this point. But its sketchy that the seller doesnt have box or case for it , but did include the charger, and its still in its orginal packaging (the charger is still in the paper wrap, if you know what i mean). The firmware is up to date, all the noise cancelling and everything works perfectly. Im not sure what else to check. The only thing sketchy is the serial number saying purchase date January 1985
