SAFE BUYING GUIDE -- HOW CAN YOU TELL IF THEY’RE FAKE?

Before purchasing what you believe to be a genuine SMS Audio product, make sure that you are not being fooled by someone selling counterfeit product.  Keep in mind that FAKE or counterfeit SMS Audio are not covered under our warranty.  Along with not being covered under warranty, FAKE and counterfeit products are significantly inferior in quality.  If you have any questions about a seller, please email us at counterfeit@smsaudio.com and request that we take a look at the site to verify if the product is genuine.

PROTECT YOURSELF -- FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES TO AVOID BUYING FAKE PRODUCTS:

• If the price is too good to be true, it probably is counterfeit.

• If someone is offering lower pricing if you purchase in bulk, this retailer is not an authorized SMS Audio retailer, and may be selling FAKE product.

• Confirm that the product you are purchasing is in the original shrink wrap that we use to seal all of our SMS Audio products.  Keep in mind that deal sites and other sites that sell counterfeit product will often times sell the product without all of the accessories, manuals and other documentation.

• Look out for the customized SMS Audio Authentication Label on all SMS Audio products priced from $99.00 (MSRP) and above. This pressure sensitive holographic label incorporates five innovative optical imaging technologies including unique number serialization, concealed image visualization on tilt and covert embedded information, amongst other confidential features.
