A review questioned whether these were a genuine Bose. Can you confirm that these are Bose made replacements? Thanks

Yes they are genuine. The box had a Bose seal tape and had instructions plus warranty info. inside.

They had no Bose markings on them and no directions. They were made of a much stiffer cushion. They would not completely encircle my ears. So no, I do not think they are not made by Bose. When I asked to return them, they gave me my money back and told me to keep them. I then went to Bose.com and purchased the original ones--even though they cost much more.

I can confirm and they are okay to use and install. I still wonder why we need to buy such an item for the 'best earphones in the field!' after only a year of use!

These are NOT genuine. They are an acceptable replacement, and very good quality. However, the cushion is a bit tougher. Again, for the price, they are acceptable.

Bought these over 2 years ago to replace my defective pads and they sure are Bose made, came in box and everything, actually going to buy a new pair as they are starting to fall off at this point.

The seller(s) could be shipping authentic or knock-offs... Why not just purchase directly from Bose for the same price and free shipping? That's what I'm going to do... Guaranteed authentic Bose replacements.http://worldwide.bose.com/productsupport/en_us/web/qc15/page.html#tab=accessories_tab

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.

Yes they are replaceable, $29.95 from Bose. I can't tell you how long they hold up though, I'm a student pilot so mine haven't seen a ton of use yet.

Yes, I purchased them with the same concern. I asked the same questions and even called Bose. I went ahead and made the purchase and the headphones fit perfectly. A great investment. I Highly recommend the case, you will not be dissapointed.

Agreed - mine were shipped from Bose and were Bose ear cushions. The reviewer who said they weren't is either mistaken or perhaps reviewed the wrong product.

Yes, I had this same problem- worked great for about 5 months, then they just started sounding like a wire was loose. I have now gone to Bose

I can't speak for the Bose units, but he PSB's are very cheaply made. I had a my pair crack twice on me, the second time Amazon was nice enough to just issue me a refund that I used on a set of Beyerdynamics. Honestly, chiming in here since I was so disappointed with the build quality and customer service from PSB ("not our problem, go take it up with the vendor") that I'd steer anyone away from them.

Yes they are real and I am assuming the warranty paperwork was provided. I was so excited I didn't even look for the paperwork after hearing the good quality and sound!

The earbuds I purchased were the real product. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoE4sbJMMFU

I would only hope. Call BOSE customer service for a.straight answer. BOSE is known for purposely not making their equpment.compatible or expandable,.so you have to buy more. That.sucks!

They are real. Yes. Very good sound. This is older version, imagine the new ones.

These are NOT real. I bought these after I thought lost my originals bought from the Apple Store in NY. I then found the originals. The tell is that you can twist the direction of the sound port on these but not on the originals. (I know this because mine were delivered pointed backwards!) The Apple earphones sound way better.

They are genuine. I wouldn't have bought them if they weren't. They work well. I'm just not sure how long they're gonna last, cause the originals didn't last very long.

Yes they are! I just purchased the SIE2 sport headphones and there is no discernible difference between what I received from Bose and the set I ordered from Amazon. The ridge was in place on my order and it came with S, M & L sizes.

Are these headphones fake? Becuase these are easily the cheapiest price i have ever seen for SOUL products

Yes they are. And they are exact replacement. Be careful with them. They sound great but just like factory speakers they are easy to blow. I had mine about two weeks and blew one because I had it cranked way up.

Amazon sells fakes too! I bought mine directly from Amazon.com and they turned out to be fake by every indicator. Poor sound quality, shiny plastic, etc.

If the seller is Amazon, Apple, Monster Audio or Beats, then they are not replicas.(Beats Pro / Solo2 owner)
