Engadget - A man accused of being one of the "most prolific sellers" of counterfeit electronics in the UK has just been sent down for two and a half years. Over 4,000 KiRFs, mainly consisting of knock-off Sennheiser and Monster headphones, were found at Michael Reeder's address, with a value of around £250,000 ($400,000).
That's a lot of Headphones sold.
Too bad the head of the counterfeit source cannot be cut off...
regardless of how bad the economy is $40 million does not equate to £250,000 lol
I was recently in the market for new headphones and done a little bit of research to make sure I didn't buy fakes, it's amazing how similar they look.

That includes side by side picture comparisons with the differences highlighted. Biggest problem with this is that I bet a lot of sellers are selling fake versions without even realizing.. unless you knew what to look for, how could anyone tell the difference?
i wander if the ones i bought off of amazon are real.
