Hello. I bought my pair of s4's on amazon from Crawford's Superstore almost a year ago. They seem decent, no serious fading, they came in what looked like a legitimate blue box, 3 pairs of tips, including the ones on the earbuds themselves. They came with a case that... Doesn't seem to have fared well, to say the least. I can send pics if you like. It seems like the finish rubbed off fairly quickly... The earbuds themselves: On the left, the klipsch name looks almost untouched. On the right, it is faded, but only parts of the "psch". I can see scratches along both, but like I said, no fading on the left. The connections where the wires go into the buds seem to be peeling. I'll post pics of this also, when I get the chance. There is a straight plug, but the gold almost seems to be fading. As for sound, I am a bit of a basswhore, but the balance doesn't seem off at all. Volume and EQ is equal in both buds. Do I (More than likely, of course) Have fakes? Also worth noting (I can't seem to find it right now...), they came with an instruction paper, with a dB table and warnings and stuff. No ChinEnglish, it seemed well written... EDIT: Pics here: http://imageshack.us/g/214/1001618m.jpg/
