It should be Dr. Dre's face on the box, although some of the newer versions don't have anyone's image on the box.

Question

Should it say "Beats By Dre" or "Beats by Dr. Dre"?

Community Answer

On the official Beats website it says "Beats By Dre" and on BestBuy's website and Apple's website it says "Beats By Dr. Dre," I wouldn't buy Beats if the place I was buying them from wasn't a well known store, too many fakes and scams.

Question

I've seen some that say "Beats By Dre" and some that just say "Beats." What's the difference?

Community Answer

The one that says "Beats" might be counterfeit. It usually says "Beats By Dre" on the headphones.

Question

If my cord stopped working after a few months, is it all right to use a different cord? My Beats aren't fake, I'm just rough with my things.

Community Answer

Yes, it should be fine. AUX cables are universal and should work with anything that has the right connections.

Question

Are Amazon Beats fake?

Community Answer

Generally, as said in the article, you should avoid third party retailers like Amazon. I would say just buy Beats from a certified retailer. If you are going to buy from Amazon though then you should be very cautious. You should compare prices and other aspects of Beats electronics.
