I have owned many apple earbuds throughout the years. However, many months or maybe 1 year, these earbuds would no longer work in one ear or maybe even both of them. Im sure many of you all have the same issue with these earbuds.

I know many years ago i had bought 1 or 2 fake ones as i was pretty stupid buying it for under 10 dollars and thinking it was the real thing.  
I see the current price is around 30 dollars or so on the apple website. I do see few of them on ebay and many of them are around 23 dollars or so and they sold countless of them and have extremely good feedback. Would you say its worth buying it fromthem? I dont see that many sold though.

I also see this type sold by another person. This is the old apple earbuds. I always had these types.  
I mean if over 30000 are sold… and this player has this much good feedback, i assume these have to real then right?

**Pauly01**. Once again, you’ve started a thread in General Questions which begs people to share their opinions with you. These threads are to be started in IMHO, NOT General Questions.

As **Colibri** did tonight to another of your misplaced threads, I’ve closed this one.
