Re: Noise cancelling Headphones to share with partner for iPad and In-Flight AV Syste
Hi, Okay my two sets of FAKE Bose QC15s arrived. I know they are fake as both boxes/headsets and documentation had the one identical serial number. I did a fair bit of research on fake QC15s and it appears that some have identical circuitry and were only discovered as copies when sent to Bose for servicing/repair. Although I will take these to a Bose outlet to compare against genuine, these seem very good quality. Not yet tested in a plane, but at home next to air-conditioning the noise-cancellation worked really well. They seem well made and are very comfortable. I purchased on eBay from 'goldennugget888' and have had correspondence with him regrding the fact that these are non-genuine, despite his assurances to the contrary prior to posting the items. He states he is based in Malaysia and is selling them for a friend in Hong Kong. He 'truly' also believed these to be genuine and has immediately offered to refund my money. However, I have decided that as I need to purchase two pair, these seem pretty good and if I get a decent longevity from them, it saves a lot of further mucking around with packaging and posting, further risk etc.
It also appears that unlike many other products which you can buy genuine through the right channels for substantial discounts due to heavy margins, Bose don't give very great margin to their distributors, which is why you don't see genuine product discounted more than a few dollars.
Just thought I would let you know.
That's a great price! I am also looking at getting 1 of these, will have a look on ebay to see if that price is still available.
