Suspected Fake Pair of Yamaha EPH-100 from West Coast Hi Fi

Hi everyone, I just bought a pair of the yahama eph-100 2 weeks ago. Right out of the box, they doesn't sound like an $120 earphones at all so i thought it need time to improve by burning in.
2 weeks past and the earphones reached 100 hours burning in. Yes it does sound better but just a bit. Comparing to my GR07 and Apple earphones it still like night and day and doesn't sound like what the HeadFier wrote about it (http://www.head-fi.org/products/yamaha-eph-100sl-inner-ear-h…).
From this thread: http://www.head-fi.org/t/577712/yamaha-eph-100/3525 , i feel like i just bought a fake one.
I wonder anyone got this earphones from the West Coast Hi Fi and how do them sound like? And anyone here got an authentic one so i can have a listen to? Will appreciate that a lot :).

    Judging from the Yamaha Australia's Dealer locator… they should be real… You sure it's not just buyer's remorse and over hyping?

    Searched WA and the Midland store comes up

      Perfect cover for a dealer that also sells the fake products.

      Would not be the first, 100th, or last case of this dodgy practise. Think about that.

        Well the other thing for OP to do would be to approach Yamaha's CS and see if they can provide some ways to authenticate the item.

    They're worse than your Apple earphones?

    Definitely take them back if they are.

    1. $120 earphones is nothing, perhaps your expectations are too high.
    2. Whilst Head-Fi is useful for discussion, user impressions will always be bias on taste and equipment used to drive them.
    3. Makes sure those Ear flanges are well sealed in your ear.

      yeah, i know $120 is nothing but i just expect it to sound better than the apple earphones. I use an iphone 6 plus to drive all headphones i have (yamaha pro 400, sennheiser hd558, audio technica m50x, vsonic gr07 and the CX980) and all of them sound quite nice but this one just only beats the CX980 :(

    $120 is peanuts for hifi.

    Expect a nice box and trash product at this price point.
