How do you know if you have fake Beats?
I spent about an hour researching how to prevent my headphones from breaking because I’m getting white Beats Studio headphones next week. However, I came across a lot of information about "fake Beats," and I want to know how to avoid them. I found a listing for Beats that are advertised as "100% new" on Craigslist, and I'm planning to test them when I meet the seller before making the trade. How can I tell if they are fake? I see people asking if their Beats are fake, but I don’t understand why, since they seem to work fine. Do fake Beats not function at all, or is it more complicated than that?
I'm also curious about how the market for fake Beats even started. I thought you could only buy them from reputable retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, or the Apple Store. What should I look for to determine if the Beats are genuine, so I can be sure this seller is legitimate? I would prefer to buy authentic ones, even if they break, rather than risk getting fakes. Thank you for reading, and I would appreciate any information you can provide!

Batteries, box, weight, finish, accessories, sound quality are all different.
It’s getting increasingly hard to tell. check out the link below for illustrated differences. Pretty much anything not from a major retailer going at full price is going to be fake.

fake beats are from China. They don’t have copy right laws. You purchase them online from sites that are on the blacklist from beatsbydre.com
I have real ones and my friend accidentally bought fakes from ebay(which he is taking back). I compared them to mine.
the real white ones are perfect white. Fake are more of an eggshell white.
One thing for sure is the side switch to turn it on and off. If it is real, then the switch should be smooth. If it is fake, then it is hard to move and the light bleeds through the sides.
the cable should feel smooth and monster should be written on it perfectly. The fake cable was more stiff and monster was more stabbed on to it.
also make sure the mute button is smooth and not stiff.
open the side where the batteries go, the Dr dre sticker should be perfectly placed in the middle on the little sticker mold.
feel the part where the speakers are and there shouldn’t be an abnormal lump.
try to listen to a song with a lot of bass(wiz khalifa: on my level) you can literally feel it and it is more prominent
If you can’t open the box:

REMEMBER: these are $300 headphones and should look and perform like so
Btw fake beats do work. They just suck.
