Are these fake?

Miller, that was a concise consciencess rundown of fakery.

you mean like only brain dead idiots could fall for it, you know, like Foux News fake 

Tvad, I guess that could be loosely classified as stereo ......

It would be interesting to see what the Chinese substituted for the pure copper components under the plating, and if they used non-conductive stainless springs??

I am impressed they spelt FURUTECH correctly. Frequently the manuals from Chinese products have had creative grammar (not talking about either parent's mother) and intureshting shpelling.

Perhaps buy directly from Japan if you must purchase from Ebay.
