How much did you pay for them?

They look fine. I've never been ripped off on eBay with high end stuff. You're fine relax.

Not really, the only fakes are from things that are really popular. IE - beats headphones or apple headphones.

the sony's and some akg's are faked as well

 

EDIT: "faked"  new grammar right there...

Actually fake IE80's has been a bit of a problem in the past. Not sure if yours are real. Contacting Sennheiser would be your best bet.

I've seen some pretty good Bose Quiet Comfort 15s fakes that my friend got on ebay a few years back.

Google it, but chances are the fakes sound terrible and you would know right away.

But they are Bose, aren't they already fakes?

From the pics it looks like the sennheiser logo is laser etched and the cables aren't overly thick like the fakes which leads me to believe that these are real.

looking at the packaging how the corners are bent makes me think they are fake (i know it could just be shipping etc but i have seen fakes been packaged extremely well and still have bent corners)

The Sennheiser IE80s are a good chance fake, hopefully they are real though.
