Confused by Apple Goods On Amazon

I was looking to buy myself a pair of earphones for my iPhone 6s, research showed the pair I wanted coming. In at around £79

When I visited Amazon I noted “genuine” Apple headphones from around about £2 and up. As Apple set a premium price for their goods it seemed obvious to me these were cheap imations

I wondered why would Amazon, a responsible retailer sell these, or indeed why would Apple not take actions to maintain their reputation for quality goods - but maybe I’m missing a trick !!!129300;

As a matter of interest I ended up ordering a pair of Bose in-ear headphones at around the same price. Completely confused by Apple products

    The headphones will be genuine.

    100% genuine headphones.

    Probably not Amazon selling them but a 3rd party vendor. Why do Amazon not act? They are earning money from the sale and nobody has reported the item yet? Did you?

    Same with Apple nobody reported the item to them, have you notified Apple of the fake goods?

    Yep your missing a trick. Buy cheap headphones and resell them as branded items and get your money before they ban your account.

    Why did I not report them to Amazon or Apple? Good question; I think I will, if only to see their answer
