I caught a super device. Apparently an original. The headset is easy to carry and has a super sound. Koss advertises with a lifetime guarantee which I unfortunately had to use. This time there was a cable break shortly before the end of the Amazon warranty. Quibble settlement with Amazon. You should pay attention when buying that you are caught not a fake. Then nothing guaranteed. Unfortunately, there are also at Amazon Marketplace vendors who do not have the best rating and despite obvious reviews still write "original". A look at the Internet as fakes can be identified, is worthwhile in any case. If you caught a stock, you get a great listening experience.
