TRA-
Yep. I've had my last two sets from there (including the one that died after a year) but they're genuine Soundmagic. They've got the little scratch off code on side of the box. You can type it into the soundmagic site to check they're genuine. Actually, the first set I got was from eBay from a Chinese seller as well.

Those don't sound too bad! For tiny size and good sound though, I'd definitely recommend getting a set of PL50s from aliexpress or something. You can usually pick them up for about £25/30ish, if you can bear waiting a couple of weeks. They're really tiny little headphones, with thinner nozzles as well (they take the Comply T100 tips, rather than the usual T400s).
I should add, I've had 3 sets of PL50s now. Lost the first set and have had the second set a year or so, always kept in the little soft pouch they come with. They go in my Carradice every day to and from work and in my jeans pocket if I'm heading out. I took them with me on last day of work last year and one of them broke.
Now onto my third set, will see how long these'll last. Might stick them in a little rigid case this time...
