hi peeps!
darwin here from electrosushi. hope everyone's alright today.
hmm.. where do i start?
the SHURE's are real.
as far as i know, lately na lang nagkaron ng hologram seal ang mga mics to counter the fakes. packaging changes din once in a while. hologram seals and high prices are definitely not guarantees that the item is original and not a counterfeit. imagine, kung may fake ako and the price point issue is raised, e di magtataas na lang ako ng presyo ng at least P6500 di ba? it will look more believable that the item is authentic, right? everyone knows madali lang magpagawa ng hologram stickers. pumunta ka lang sa ROBEE and drop your order there. the difference in font, kaya din magpagawa non. ive seen a lot of fake SHUREs. ang layo talaga ng itsura and there are a lot of things wrong with it. honestly, i priced it real low para ma dispacha na yung mga items, thats all. on a side note, di rin ako naniniwalang pag bumili ka sa authorized dealers, you're always assured of getting the real deal. galing ako sa retail and fu.cked-up corporate world. maraming strategies and ways unscrupulous companies cut-corners in turn for bigger profits. for example: company A will get all the fakes company B is making and sell them as authentic and make a bigger profit, since it is cheaper and more cost efficient to simply source the item from company B. sorry, remnants of my former job is kicking in, hehe. my apologies.
i agree with the poster who commented above that the original mics have some heft/bigat to it. may bigat talaga ang orig, ang fake, ampaw-like. that observation is always consistent. plus, more importantly, check the sound. fake mics are $H1TTY - sounding. it all boils down to the sound. that is also consistent.
if anybody wants to check the mics, please feel free to do so. may address and contact details ako sa facebook. here's my site:
www.facebook.com/electrosushi. marami ding guitars jan. if you should doubt authenticity, please TRY to give it a look in person na lang. also check my feedback na rin at the DISCUSSIONS TAB. jan naka-comment yung mga bumili sa kin.
yun lang for now. have a nice day!
