Received from groupons today and inspected and auditioned. I believe they are fake. Phones have tiny chips and dents in them and the 3.5mm plug is a bit slanted. Removed silicon tips and noticed that wire mesh is recessed, all the originals seem to have the mesh a bit protruding. Treble is detailed but mids and bass is very muddy with no definition or separation. I have emailed groupons support, let's see what they will do about it. Selling fake goods is a serious offence, enough to damage their rep severely if I bring it up to CASE.

I just got mine too. Sad to say it's FAKE!!!!.....Firstly it does not come in the packaging it supposed to come in. The specs on the back of the box does not tally with the specs on Xiaomi website. The finishing is terrible with scratches on my set. Earbuds positioning is wrong too just like what others said. Small to big.

Emailed them to complain and demand for refund. Still waiting for their reply.

BTW are we allowed to complain on their post in FB. Just saw they still advertise to sell this earphones on FB.

Your spare earbud can fit the earpiece. They give me fake spare earbud that is too small. I'm going to flame their fb later.

Groupon is just a platform for sellers to sell their product, and yes they do not do background check on the product authenticity, there were a number of cases where fake products were found out after purchase, happened to myself when i purchase Yoobao powerbank for a steal, only to realise the serial number was not recognise on yoobao authenticity check site..

i made a trip to the CSO and to find out i was not the only one who came to return and demand refund for the product.

the main problem is not with them selling fake product, rather allowing fake products to continue selling and claiming on the listing site that is authentic, product despite complaints from customers...

Warned many people yet on the first page but still no use..

Agreed to the above, Groupon just allow merchants to sell their stuffs, as long got sales, they dun really bother abt authenticity. Same for many other deals websites and ecommerce websites.

Many complains on fake Xiaomi powerbank and phone too. Beware :s12:

so morale of story, "dont bother saving that few dollars, just get the original one from direct source"

unless of course you're damn sure the product is authentic.

i've been using this for few months already.

it's good for bassheads.

but midrange is disappointing.

aiming for HAVI B3 1st version next.
