I bought this headphone a seller of good faith on Audiofanzine, and unfortunately this headphone is far from being the height of the MDR-V700 headphones vritable, not least at the level of esthtisme and manipulabilit: fitting non-compliant (no screwing possible), non-rigid cable similar to the original headphones, Sony no indication of the arch, cushions for headphones of inferior quality .. .

BEWARE when you purchase this type of headphone!
Clearly too often fakes, especially since the link to the Sony site seems misleading buyers who believe buying a quality headphone (personally, even when I have big doubts on that link, not unfortunately not read Japanese).

cf. also the last US tmoignage a forum:

suggesting that the link to the site of Sony JP is really trs "bizarre" ...
