There was a run of fake shures were I live, I heard and handled fake beta 58a's
The thing was there was two varients. The first one we recieved was suspect right from the box, as the metal finish was different from any 58a we had ever owned.
It was easy to hear the difference: had marked handling noise and and a different frequency responce: and not different in a good way. And its gain before feedback was way lower than a real 58a.
The replacement the dealer sent was un- believably a fake as well, but better one. The finish was way closer, and it sounded a little better, but: still had bad handling noise, and the gain before feedback issue- not quite as bad as the first.
When un- screwing the top of the fakes it took 3 half turns, as compared to 9 (I think) for the real one. didnt get to compare the pakaging with real because we always biff the boxes, only keep the pouches.
In the end got our $$ back from the seller, as the legit Shure reseller got involved.
thats my fake shure experience..
