Partsconnexion.com is shipping counterfeit Oyaide Plugs!

Posted by Joseph Cohen on December 10, 2008 at 22:18:43:

Dear Friends,

It saddens me to report that Partsconnexion.com is advertising counterfeit Oyaide plugs on their website. These parts are listed at regular Oyaide prices. We also know for a fact that they have begun to ship these bogus products.

It is my responsibility as the distributor of Oyaide products to keep the public informed when these types of transgressions occur. Up until now, sellers of counterfeit products have been small retailers. Oyaide keeps a list of "unprincipled dealers" on their website. Now it seems that Partsconnexion.com will be added to that list. http://www.oyaide.com/e_audio/support/support_index.htm

You will also find photos of these bogus products well chronicled there.

How can you identify a counterfeit Oyaide plug?

1. They come in cardboard boxes, not metal cannisters as do genuine Oyaide plugs
2. They have metal inserts to attach the body to the shell. Oyaide plugs do not.
3. They do not have the Oyaide security hologram
4. They have the wrong typeface
5. They are made from entirely inferior materials in China - not Japan
6. Since they are counterfeits, they have not been tested or rated by any agency and present a genuine liability to the seller and a risk to the end user.

We take assaults on the integrity of our products very seriously, and we feel the very best way to protect them is to keep the audio community well informed.

Many thanks,

Joseph Cohen
