Many of the fake Bose headphones in plastic packs have the same issue that makes them easy to spot...

First thing to check is the "hook hole" - designed for hanging on a rack in a shop...

On the genuine item, the hook hole is perfectly aligned and has an insert with the Bose logo

On these fakes, there is no Bose insert and the hole is much closer to the big Bose logo than it should be

On these fakes, there's a dodgy insert in the hole - but the whole thing is still off-centre and cuts into the big Bose logo

The only way to be sure of a genuine Bose headphones is to buy from a Bose dealer or a reputable seller with a history of selling 100% genuine items
