Actually XS fakes are the best x-metal fakes out there. Though other fake x-metal frames have some differences to the shape, the flared earstems being the best example, XS fakes match the shape of the real thing pretty much exactly. There is a small earstem flare on the fakes, but it's the same as the small earstem flare on the real thing.

Lacking hands-on evaluation, the only dead giveaway with fake XS is the nosebridge screws, being flathead instead of hex.

And on this pair in question, the shi**y jagged opening in the ear stem where the t-shox goes.

Yeah the finish isn't as good, but that can be hard to see in pics...

Here's another fake on ebay. This time they are Juliet's. Nice pictures to show off the problems.

1. The coin looks suspect, badly defined.
2. They are polished with no hammer stems. Generally look too thick anyway.
3. You can just about make out the flat headed screws on the nose bridge.
4. The colorway is off.

Yes 100% fake. I've already told the seller without reply ...
Also note the flare to the eartips and the angle of the orbital joint.

No surprise there with the "no reply"

Funny I haven't really noticed that many fakes on ebay recently, just these two. It is almost like a test to keep you on your toes

Recently bought 1 Juliet an 1 XS no issues fortunately.
