Are you flossing FAKE Beats By Dre earphones? Here’s how to confirm

There has been a recent influx of Beats By Dre earphones on the streets of Nairobi, and no doubt some are counterfeits. Some of your friends might be flossing for you with fakes, or some street vendor might be pushing dodgy looking ones on you, so here’s how to bust them if they’re looking suspect:

 1. Price – The cheapest Beats By Dre earphones cost 150 dollars(Click here for evidence), which is about 14 thousand Kenyan shillings. Anything costing below that is probably a counterfeit.

2. Beats serial number validation – On the Beats by Dre website, there is a section that allows you to enter the serial number of the earphones you are about to buy and confirm whether they are original. Click here to access the section. If the number doesn’t check out, then they are definitely fake.

3. The authorised dealer list – The Beats By Dre website has a section where they have listed all the authorised dealers for their headphones. Click here to access the list. If the shop that’s selling you Beats earphones is not on that list, then your dealing with a fake.

Point 1 and 3 prove that most of the Beats By Dre headsets sold in Kenya are indeed fake. Are you willing to go the extra mile to get the originals? Leave your comment below.
