Sony XB500 at Festival Mall

Saw some XB500s being sold at Festi. 1.4k probably fake. Not so sure though, didn't have time to really look at it.

i checked their website and the xb500 retails for 3.5k and the xb300 for 2.5k. if it's original then it's good news for bassheads on a tight budget

here's the link

The XB500 has a US $80 SRP, so I think the Php 3.5k local price tag is actually in line with that given the current exchange rate, not "super" overpriced at all.

Xb500 I think can be had for about $40US online, though. But I doubt you can get that in malls here. These are likely fake but would be nice if they weren't.

Forgot. something like Modern Gadgets. It's a shop that sells iPads and Tabs and stuff. But also lots of cheap stuff. Including the XB500. I don't know them too well, I wouldn't put it past them to get OEM stuff, but you never know. Next time I pass by I will take a closer look at the XB500s.

I just passed by that store (modern gadgets) today. I'm getting alert signs that it might be a counterfeit product, as beside the xb500 is a fake beats by dr. dre. Also the store sells some fake scrapcandy lowriders.

But the packaging and the pads look neat XD

Packaging looks real enough, that's what the actual packaging looks like, but I can't tell if it's real or not without closer inspection. I literally just zipped by, because I had a final project due yesterday and hadn't even started when I got to the mall at 1:30... and it was due at 2:30. :)

I might get one of these just to get pads for the XB700.

The pleather on the super comfy pads are starting to rip. :(
