Went by Modern Gadgets last night to take a look-see at what kind of headphones they were offering.

...aaaaaaand they're another fake store.

Fake XB500s. And I thought that they were available as pad transplants. It had the build quality of a 2nd grade cardboard duck project.
Fake AKG K518LEs. "Sounds better" my butt. It had the CD-RKing el-cheapo feel.
Fake Monster Beats Line. Do I even have to talk about this?
Fake Sony MDR in-ears. Seriously, while testing one out it came apart in my hands. :|

aaaaaand there's fake capdases too. But that's okay.

Hells yeah. P700 only. Sounds like SHAT, no bass.

I bet it'll crumble within first 5 minutes of use.

If I ever get around Festi again, I'll get one IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE, and we'll make it the centerpiece in one of the meets.

Seriously? Fake K518's? That's super upsetting. Hopefully the rest of the AKG line isn't faked.

The formula of headphone ownership satisfaction is oH = n+1, where "oH" is the optimal number of headphones you need and "n" is the number of headphones you currently own.

Laptop->EMU 0204->HK430->Beyerdynamic DT48//NaNite N2->Audio Technica ATH-2 or Monster Turbine Pro Gold

Do they look exactly like the original one?

I'd be surprise more if they have fake Grados :o
