Ali express are items shipped direct from Chinese factories, lots of clones, fakes, and rebranded genuine items too etc. As far as I know Nuemann/Sennheiser don’t make their mics in china, or at least not their capsules…wouldn’t be surprise if some of their parts, metal work etc is Chinese though.

If it's not a fake, it's an INCREDIBLE clone of the Neumann badges, logos, boxes, packaging and body. I'm halfway inclined to take a swing and see what I get. Wonder if they have a return policy.

Yep.
It's a real Newmann all right.

I'm sure the Seller is a Stand Up guy.

If Neumann does have anything made in china it probably is the badges, logos, boxes, body etc I wouldn’t be surprised if those were the only “real” part of the mic. |

I wonder how many people are selling these fakes on reverb or Craigslist as the real deal, to unsuspecting people looking for a deal. I mean what a scam, buy the fake for $500, easily sell it for $1800 and make a nice profit. Makes me even more hesitant to buy stuff online.

I was thinking everything but the transformer and capsule, honestly everything else is sourced from China so why not have the board done in China? |

The logo badge is $10 from the same site.

Well the review says "he's an authentic Neumann" so what more do you need to hear? Case closed.

Who is gonna be the guinea pig test case? That’s exactly what I was thinking. I bet they look terrible in real life (or absolutely nothing like the picture)…but it would be cool to have the body for a build if it actually looked like that. |

That is the text book play for aliexpress. Take a video of an authentic product, sell/ship something that hardly looks anything like it. Not always the case, of course... I'm reminded of a particular 47 clone that was identical to an ... Alctron (am I spelling that right?) Microphone... |

Don't expect them to send you what's in the pic. The reason they look real is because they are. They rely on people who "hope" it's real, and then they are counting on people who either won't know the difference, or won't go through the hassle of shipping them back. Their costs to pull this scam are shockingly low. I see it all the time with PC parts. |

It comes in 2 colors. Black and silvery.
The ad says it's a condensador. It might be a language thing but I wonder if it will keep your beer cold?
