Sennheiser CX400 II: Old but still rocking

I recently bought earphones (Klipsch S4i) with Widget City. And I previously saw from yugatech since I am an avid reader of your site that Widget City was highly recommended.
I must admit the price difference with those in the market (such as Power Mac Center) was what made me decide to instead buy the earphones at Widget City. I checked also Amazon.com and fair enough I told myself that maybe Widget City’s price is competitive.
So I ordered and credit to Widget City, transaction was hassle free and product arrived 48 hours after I ordered. However when the package arrived, I noticed quickly that what they sold to me seemed not to be authentic. I still tried to convince myself that maybe they do not sell fake earphones. But to my dismay and disappointment and even disgust, the earphones they sold are no different from those being peddled in tiangges. At least in tiangges the sellers have the decency to tell you that they only sell Class A products and not the authentic ones. Sound quality was poor. Earphones were poorly built. And I am few thousands poorer for buying into Widget City’s scheme.
So I guess lesson learned, yugatech should be more circumspect in promoting e-stores lest you guys are sure that the likes of widget city are not selling the right ones. For widget city: at least be honest enough to tell your potential customers or at least put on your site a disclaimer that they may not be buying authentic products. And for me lesson learned: investigate first the site before buying from them.

Newly designed of monster beats headphones
With hundreds of different designed of monster beats headphones in the market already, Monster Beats Company is still keeping its faith of creation, innovation, fulfilling customers’ real needs, and designing most advanced and highly guaranteed headphones. Though it has been one of the largest headphone companies in the United States, and it has achieved great reputation since 2008 when its branded headphones were in the market, the company still keeps moving and pushing forward.

Just last month, monster company held its new headphones conference, exhibiting three newly and advanced styles of higher quality, more fashionable new headphones: Butterfly by Vivienne Tam, (designed by famous designer TanYanYu), Beats Solo Red HD (Solo HD edition) and Turbine Pro Copper (Turbine professional edition).

Believing that monster beats headphones will bring you more styles of choice. And according to your more and more high pursuit of audition, monster beats headphones will be better and better. Monster beats headphones not only surpass other headphones in appearance, they will be the best in sound quality as well.

Hey, I bought a MX360 from Widget City’s deal in CashCashPinoy, at P500 about 6-7months ago, its still working til now! The price from the mall is about 1200 so I had the same issue if its authentic because there are a lot of OEMs and Class As sold around, I brought it to a PowerMac carrying Sennheiser products and had it confirmed. And without hesitation from the sound and material, they confirmed it. I guess its bad enough to cause someone of selling fake without any proof so its better if you buy one yourself and try it out! :)

Hopefully this post won’t go to waste, which it will probably do.

@Widget City

To be fair, I didn’t exactly scream “FAKE!” the moment I saw your CX400-II’s price. A quick google search showed that it retailed at somewhere around $40, and your price undercuts it by a small margin, meaning it can/may be legit, or maybe not. And I believe my point with the other model, CX300-ii, still stands; the price doesn’t inspire much confidence.

For the IE series issue, I say, a single wrong post goes a long way. Once people saw that incorrect post and price, there was no going back; how can we trust your other low-tier Sennheiser products when we saw you selling audiophile class IEMs at about 10% of its SRP? Mind you, I don’t believe you’re selling fake PX200-ii’s @ 3.5k, but still I am reminded of your IE-series prices and my confidence in your Sennheiser product lowers.

And are you promoting buy-before-you-cry? Come on! Everybody reading this blog knows that a 1Kphp Beats headphone is a big fat FAKE and nobody is going to spend that amount of money just to prove it’s fake unless they have cash to burn and “lulz where to be had”. Putting your CX400-ii into perspective, if I had the money and time to purchase one just to prove/disprove if you’re selling legit ones, I’m probably doing it because I’m a competitor whose aim is to put you down. Well, I’m not; I’m just a consumer who is questioning your so called (Sennheiser) items because of some issues on your previous (Sennheiser) pricelist.

As for your number of +1 ratings argument directed at another poster, you shouldn’t be to quick to utilize that aspect; +1’s are easy to obtain and -1’s are easy to control. Fake Sennheiser sellers on eBay maintain their high approval ratings thru giveaways and other methods, which are probably even more Googleableâ„¢ than your so-called positive ratings.

Mind you, I don’t dislike Widget City in any way, I actually browse through their lineup of gadgets more often than not. However, when it comes to their Sennheiser products, I take their postings with very, very little grain of salt.

They’re all the same. Class A/ OEM/ supposedly imported straight from factory in China = fake.

Just because Widget City pays for ads in this site doesn’t mean you should keep pimping their shoddy products. First it was non- official warrantied grey units and now it’s class A items. Next thing you’ll know we’re going to have a review of OEM (kuno) Beats headphones.

at charli3:

This is not class A, We have an account in TPC we got great numbers of positive feedbacks already, Sulit, Tipidcp and Tipidpc, you can google it if you want and check, hence accoss the sellers we are the only audio device seller that gives in a year warranty. if we know it’s fake, we won’t putting a warranty on it. right?

At Class A:
How can you judge a product talking without even touching it,
it’s admittedly suspicious if a product goes sub-SRP and somebody claims as real, well , Just to be clear, we are importing a gray market product not bought from local distributor which is cheaper(example product from SG and HK without passing the philippine distri) , products may not be official but still there are difference between fake and parallel import but original, and this audios are gray market.
and we admit it to our buyers

you can google up: Sennheisers sold by us, we’ve been featured in many BIGGER COMPANIES for sennheiser deals,
Cashcashpinoy, Groupon philippines and Multiply discounted deals,
if we sold fake to them, then right now, we might be had sued for selling fake. expressing your thought is good, but being judgmental is not, think bad things you say without making a justified proof.

and this are cheap since they didn’t pass thru the distributors.

Cant trust buying any headphones in the philippines they are all fakes 100% , no one is reputable to enough to trust.

Best to order them online from the usa and have them mailed, its the only way i can be sure

“The Sennheiser CX400 II is being sold over at Widget City for only Php1,500.”

… Hehehe. Obviously Class A! Ganyan pala ang Widget city, panay japeks ang benta! As the saying goes “you get what you pay for”. Yuga, I thought you of all people, would know the difference between original Senns and fake ones. Wala pong original na CX400 na dirt cheap @ P1,500!

Great review Louie!
