Are these HDJ-2000 fakes?
I'm wondering if these are fake. The headphones actually look fine, I don't see many if any scuffs. However, I do have some concerns:
- the cable came wrapped in plastic. I know that the old packaging (with the Pioneer Pro DJ logo) did not have cord wrapped in plastic, however, my pair has a the new box (with Pioneer DJ logo), so I'm wondering if there is possibly a variation of packaging that includes plastic on the cable. I really need to confirm this, it's about the only "clear" giveaway if no genuine pairs have plastic wrapping.
- the headband seems a bit small, even when fully extended, it's still somewhat tight on me and the padding seems smaller than that of pictures. Can somebody confirm the length (arc or straight, specify) of the padding? The ear wholes seems a bit small as well. I do have a big head and ears, but I don't know.
- I can physically feel the drivers on the left with my ear.
- I did find I kind of light scratch on the extension bands on both sides.
- The sound doesn't quite right to me. Voices seems to be subdued. Might be my devices though (two phones and a laptop)

Please get back to me soon so I can return them if these are indeed fake.

Take a peek at the comparison photos and see if that helps you identify whether yours are authentic or not.
Hi,
I'm currently suspicious of my pair that I just received in the mail today....
Where did you purchase your's from? I got mine from adorama on sale for a ridiculously low price so I couldn't pass them up...
Get back to me and lemme know, I just posted a similar question on this forum as well...
Adorama as well for $140. Is your case similar to mine? Something just feels off.
Just read your post. Same experience, the sound is really disappointing and the same condition of the cord. Moreover, my extension bands have slight imperfection marks and the lettering of the pioneer logo on top of the band is crackling. I'm about 80% convinced these are fake as well, which is a shame.
i haven't much time to inspect the band as I got them right before going into work... i will look when i get home tomorrow.
Is it confirmed that the headphones from Adorama are counterfeit? I received mine yesterday. Everything looks fine only thing that is worrying me is that the cord came in a plastic bag.
@Christian > They're likely fakes, sorry! I hope you purchased with your credit card and can file a chargeback.
