FWIW, the bags and mics look exactly like the ones you are saying are fakes - and exactly like the ones posted by Stagefright13


If you have two fake mics, I'd say its more likely the other two, not the ones that resemble Stagefright13's. Despite the "Made in China" tags in the bags.

All else aside, the creators of the fakes (if that's what they are) have gone to a lot of trouble. I do not think they are going to get 'caught out' leaving a tag that isn't supposed to be there...

I am afraid your're mistaken too, the bag could be made in one place and the mic in another one as well!! the bag is not a electronic product.
I have a fake 58 with no sticks inside and the 57 ordered from a delar has the sticker made in chine inside but... the mic is original.
