Counterfeit (Fake) Headsets - How to recognize and avoid them; what are the differences?

The original Jabra JX10 was directly sent from Jabra for which we thank them, while the other was purchased again from Ebay. The two boxes are pretty similar, but still there are some minor differences: the original is with glossy finish, while the fake is mat, and misses some of the texts written, as well as a photo of a woman making bubbles and the label “One of the smallest Bluetooth headsets ever made” on the back side of the front cover. The photos on the back side are also in different colors.

When we directly compare the two headsets, the differences are not as brutal as they were with the BH800, but if you have authentic unit next to you and an attentive eye, you may see them: the LED of the original device is bigger and half-lucent, while our counterfeit headset had fully transparent light. The best way to spot the fake is by looking at the volume up button and its pair, as the one on the fake is speared. The miniUSB socket is grey (instead of black) and lacks the couple of holes on the left and right.
