Is amazon still selling these as knock offs? Questioning because of bad reviews.

Debra, I asked this question about a month ago. If you scroll through them you can take a look at what people had to say. The general consensus was that they were not knock offs anymore.

It depends on the vendor. When I bought a pair from iDeal Xpert, they were fake. But I took a chance and bought again from MyParana, and those were real and new! Over the past several days I haven't seen Amazon itself selling any, but we customers should help each other know who sells the real ones and who doesn't!

While I am surprised there are still originals available, I do believe the Gerber Command II's from the Amazon site are real. These knives were very expensive when first released. For this reason and possibly others such as a recovering economy, poor marketing strategy, or who knows why, they obviously didn't sell very well. What I do know for sure is that my knife is the real deal. And it was bought recently from this Amazon site. Once again, this is one awesome knife. Your're not going to find this knife for some ridiculously low price. And if you do it will be fake. Like the ones for $55.55 on some Chinese site with over 5,000 in stock. If it sounds to good to be true, well you know the rest. While I am surprised there are still originals available, I do believe the Gerber Command II's from the Amazon site are real.

They are not fake. They are the real deal. I wouldn't have them if they were fake. I don't know if Monster has discontinued them (maybe). I know you can still buy them retail. (For a lot more)I hope I've helped. :-) -Emma

They are the real deal. I have been buying them from Amazon for the past 5-6 months and they are exactly the same I used to buy from Wal-mart and cheaper minus the hassle. Add them to your monthly subscription and enjoy the headache-free automatic deliveries.

Beware of answers insisting these are legit. They are probably from sellers. They insist they can be registered when they cannot. Amazon doesn't care if the stuff is real anymore. A shame.

NickI was also worried about ordering fakes. I saw that amazon said they came from Sylvania so I ordered them. When I got them I looked at the packaging and they appear to be ok but I'm not an expert. They work fine.

No is my answer. This guys are a great disappointment. Amazon should do something about them to stop this deceit.

I'm sure if Amazon is marketing and fulfilling the order then there is nothing to worry about. I have heard many stories of fake models out there but I would highly doubt Amazon would be selling fakes. I purchased mine from Amazon so perhaps it was from the same company and it still works like a dream many years later.

Research the seller Blutekusa and decide for yourself. Everything I've researched about my particular pair indicates they are real.

Depends....mine was counterfeit. Be aware that everything you buy from Amazon doesn't come from the Amazon warehouses. There are often 3rd party resellers involved - that's where the bogus items come from. If the item states "sold and shipped by Amazon", it's usually the real deal. So....just make sure Amazon is the seller.

I cannot tell you they are genuine. However, I have carefully compared them to the original today and they are identical in every way. Color, assembly method, materials, stiffness and dimensions all appear the same. There are no markings on the original that sets it apart from these. Hope that helps.

A couple days ago (August 2014) Amazon seems to have restricted this listing to just the genuine Bose pads. Before they did, I bought mine from Accessoriesplus on this page. They were $5 cheaper and didn't charge sales tax. I'm 80% sure they were authentic. If you buy the ones that are fullfilled directly from Bose, then you can be 100% certain that they are legit, but you'll pay more for them. The other thing you could consider is buying one of the $7 or $8 pairs of obvious knockoffs. Then you'll have no doubt about their authenticity. I haven't gone that route yet, but plan to next time.

Absolutely not. I don't want a replacement. I just feel that Amazon and buyers and wherever else this is sold needs to know that they only last for a month. There are many review on Amazon and elsewhere that say the same thing. If this is not a scam, it's pretty close to being and I'm not saying it is Amazon's fault. People just need to know.

I'm trusting on Amazon that they are original. I've always bought from here and been very satisfied. I do know they're duscontinued. Regardless they will only work properly with Apple products.

As far as I know they are? Are there any discerning marks or noticeable pieces that would stand out? They do look different than the knock-offs I ordered from China.

I think they are knock-offs, but the build is not flimsy at all. It actually felt durable/sturdy.
