If your at all worried you can read the feedback for either sites sellers.
I have never had any issues with Amazon sellers (selling electricals) and the only time I had an issue with an eletrical item on ebay, the seller tried to scam me "leave me posative feedback first and I will refund your item" I emailed ebay and the seller had their account banned. (Chinese seller- now I avoid them!). Amazon tends to be easier to deal with if you have any issues in regards to sellers IMO but there are ways to get problems on either site dealt with fairly easily.

Firstly, I would recommend Sennheiser headphones and earphones to anyone, assuming they are genuine and I see no reason to think that they are not. I've picked up cheap sets myself but that is usually via mob deals and they are genuine article, true Sennheiser products always come with an assortment of different fittings for different-sized ears and are in good quality packaging. The price of these earphones is commensurate with what I have paid before myself for similar sets (I've paid even less for the genuine article on one lucky occasion) so I wouldn't necessarily assume they are fake just because of the price (remember with Amazon Marketplace it is as well to look at the price as a whole including postage when trying to compare prices as Amazon set pretty high standard postage allowances for most items, £13.99 sounds a reasonable bargain price to me without being TOO cheap).
As for buying electrical products such as this from Amazon, I have made several purchases both from Amazon themselves and from Marketplace sellers and have had no problems at all. Check the customer reviews carefully, okay there may be a few fakes in there but its not too difficult to tell a genuine review from a fake one and a product that has plenty of 3-5 star reviews is generally a good buy for the money. Amazon are good with refunds anyway in case of any problems.
Ebay, well, this can be hit and miss but there is always the protection provided by Paypal and Ebay themselves so its not that much of a risk even if there are problems with the item, just inconvenience.2020 Wins:
