Tried to order G-Shock, but two most popular sellers said, that they have only 'S-Shock' as shown on their pictures :-(.

[h=3]Zapatillas you mean :)[/h]

First of my many orders just came in, speedcross 3 salomon. The top 2 in this photo are gens bottom is the aliexpress.

Notes:

I have owned over 15 pairs of the gens, used for casual and hill running. On the foot I would not be able to tell if you were wearing reps.
However when I put them on I can tell the difference, they dont feel like speedcross 3 which are exceptionally comfy...these just feel like regular traines like nike etc so not bad but I wouldnt reccomend them for hill running etc (which is fine because I bought these to wear with jeans etc)

Construction is very good but not as good as the gen obv, some glue marks easily rubbed away.
The lace is way too long.
The tongue is just too short.
The insole is not the ortholite, its just a standard insole with the correct priniting.

Al in incredibly happy with these and will be ordering 3 or 4 more in different colours tonight. Took 6 days to get here (very good) but as is the case link is not working anymore, so type in zapalitas and they should come up.

Has anyone thought of trying rep earphones? I know that Beats are 1:1, at least in appearance. But since most of the beats headphones are crap, the sound should be the same. But I found some reps of a lot better brands than beats. For example

Here's an Audio Technica CKW100ANV rep, made of titanium. Looks cool.

And here's a Bowers&Wilkins C5 rep, looks good to me too.

I actually haven't tried any, but it would be interesting to see if you can get a good sound for that price. There are also lots of Sennheiser IE80 and IE800 reps. Also Shure se535 and so on.

Don't bother with the C5, the reps were crap and weren't comfortable at all, ended up throwing them away. The old Beats reps actually sounded better than the authentic ones, lol. If you want some rep headphones/earphones, check out the Bose mie2i or QC 25, I use to have the QC 15 reps and the noise cancelling was pretty close to the authentic and the sound was better than the Beats Reps, and also similar to the authentic Bose headphones.

Tnx for the tip. I've also found another C5, with full genuine package. Maybe these are better? I really like B&W in terms of design and comfort. But I've never seen reps before.

I've also found a PowerBeats 2.0 Bluetooth. I'm not a beats fan, but these look pretty nice.

And I found Sony XBA-10, the gens are balanced armature earphones. Not sure about the reps though.

Buckle looks like crap, so does the leather. That buckle doesn't even look like a real one, Hermes have never made a buckle like that. The engraving is shit as well.

Hermes belts are almost always with one coloured bumpy side and one smooth black side.

This is NOT a good rep

Those were the exact same C5 I had, they came in authentic packaging too, the website I use to get them from stopped selling them, I got them about 3 years ago so maybe they have improved the quality but ive always used the philosophy with headphones that if they are a popular product (Beats and Bose) the closer it is to gen cause they will focus their time to perfect it cause that's where the money is

Agree with that. For Bose, they seem to be great, but I don't like them too much in terms of appearance. I really like this cold metal feeling inside the ear. But noise canceling is a cool feature. Gonna continue my search.

Thank you for letting me know. I will keep looking for a good Hermes belt.

That's why I wrote them ).
And they answered "we don't sell G-shock, only S-shock".

They actually arrive as S-Shocks. I bought two from a seller a while ago and figured it was 50/50 as to whether or not they were going to show up as S-Shocks or G-Shock reps. No issues with them, but I haven't beaten on them too much.

Do not go for rep headphones, theres a ton of stuff out there that sounds awesome ranging from £10 to $1000 so simply no need. Your welcome to PM me with your budget and ill shoot a recommendation...

Hi. I'm new to this forum and I want to contribute to it. I bought a pair of rep Beats Studio wireless and I couldn't be happier. Sound is just like the originals and none of my friends can tell they are replicas.

They connect to my iPhone through Bluetooth and they also have a microphone to answer calls. They have play/pause/skip/volume up/down controls on the sides too. And also the sound it's amazing, they can be really loud just like the originals.

I got them for 130$ on Ali. I can't link you to the seller because he is not active anymore.

Here are some pictures:

They are amazing replicas. Sound is exactly the same as originals and they have the same features. They connect to my iPhone through Bluetooth so they have wireless audio, they also have the play/pause/skip/ volume up/down features on the side of the headphones just like the originals. My friends with original beats can't tell they are replicas.

It's decent actually. Great for traveling, you can't hear people talking so you don't have to turn the volume up to actually enjoy your music.
