Whoever wrote the last report on Bose headphones saying most of these are knock offs from Asia obviosely has no idea what they are talking about!!!! Only the latest (newest) models have the black & white wires (and are more expensive), the older models have all black wires so that defenitely does not make them knock offs!!! The older models do in-fact have a straight plug and not an angled plug!!! Also the product code given of 042365 has nothing to do with the headphones being fake or real!!! That is the model # to the older versions of the Bose headphones. Looks like someone wrote that article to try to enhance his or her sales on the black and white wire headphones. Nice try!!
