Nobody here can say - fakes can be very convincing. If you are worried about that then don't buy from an auction. Buy from an authorised re-seller or from Apple themselves.
Remember, if the price makes the offer sound too good to be true, then it probably is.

I lost one of the earbuds for my Apple In-ear Headphones with Mic. Now what do It do?

I lost one of the earbuds for my Apple In-ear Headphones with Mic.
In case you don't see why this could be a big deal, let me remind you that these little earphones will run you $79 new. Naturally, I'm sure there's got to be a reasonable solution that another owner of these headphones may know of or can share with me.
Should I bring it to the Apple store or will they just laugh at me?
Basically, all I'm missing is the jelly-like in-ear bud on one side (which is easily replaceable; I just need to know where I can order GENUINE extras from).
Click here to see the Apple In-ear Headphones I'm referring to.

I've tried several and the best by far is the Sennheiser MM50 iP ($99 at the apple store). The sound is incredible, particularly the low frequecy response (bass). These are even better than the Bose Triports I used for my iPod, plus they have the mic and button for recieving calls and ipod playback. I also have the airdrives, which don't even compare for sound quality and range because they aren't in-ear (they sit directly in front of the ear canal). I still use the airdrives in situations where I want music distraction but still want to hear what's happening around me, but for in-ear sound quality and iPhone functionality I don't think you're going to find better for the Sennheisers for under $100. In fact I don't think their is anything under $250 right now that would match it for performance, comfort and functionality.
Note: these are asymmetrical which means the cord for the right earbud goes behind your neck to the right ear. I found this strange at first but now I actually like it because it allows you to pull the earlplugs out and just let them rest over your neck/shoulders.

Do third party replacement tips fit on the apple in ear headphones? I prefer foam tips as they block out much more sound, but I'm not sure if Apple use the standard fitting for headphone tips!?!?!?!

Do third party replacement tips fit on the apple in ear headphones? I prefer foam tips as they block out much more sound, but I'm not sure if Apple use the standard fitting for headphone tips!?!?!?!

Answer found. Please find below an amazon review explicitly mentioning adding third party foam tips. Sounds like they fit and work like a dream:
"As a audio engineer, I own about a dozen different sets of earphones and in-ear 'phones. My favorite, by far, are my sure SE530s. I have some Sennheiser cx400s which are good workhorses, but lack the finesse, clarity and stunning accuracy of the Shures. For convenience, I bought the Apple's, as I wanted something I could use with the phone for calls.
I found the sound to be quite clear and beautifully clean, but like many, no matter how I tried, the stock Apple tips never made a good seal. The seal is absolutely essential to getting bass out of a balanced armature design. For you non-engineers, just trust me that if you don't have a proper seal, you will have no bass.
In my case, I think the trouble had to do with the largest size being a tiny bit too small, and the silicon being too rigid, yet slick, so they left small airgaps and were easy to remove. I tried using some foam tips from a third party, but their large was more of a medium, and never came close to a snug fit.
As an experiment, I dug around in my ear-tips from my Shure's and tried their rubber tips which are about the same size as Apple's large tips, but made of a more pliant and slightly sticky rubber.
OMG, what a transformation. Suddenly the sound blossomed, the bass became rich and well balanced, and the "top-heavy" sound was totally mellowed into a rich, well balanced and incredibly detailed presentation.
Make no mistake, these are the best 'phones under $200 I have ever heard. The bass is deep and warm, very detailed, and totally lacking fuzz or buzz that I can hear in the Sennheiser set. Look at getting tips from a better headphone. The trick is it has to have a soft rubber base that can expand over Apple's slightly larger stub. Some tips, like the Shure foam tips, have a rigid plastic sleave in the tip to keep it's position correct, and these won't expand over the larger Apple posts."

Is it possible to get custom eartips for the Apple In-ear headphones?

A year or so ago I purchased the Apple In-ear headphones. I use them primarily in the car when my brother plays his music through the car stereo while I'm watching a movie on my iPod Touch or my MacBook Pro. They have very good isolation, but are uncomforable and it is very hard to get them to fit in my ears properly as well as keeping them from working themselves out of my ears. This is with me using the small eartips as the large eartips don't fit in my ears at all and the medium eartips make my ears hurt more than the small eartips along with not fitting as well.
I think custom eartips may be the best solution to my quandry.

If so, where can I get custom eartips for my Apple In-ear headphones?

i would definitely try amazon.com, im sure there are some earips on there that are fit to work with apple in-ear headphones, hope this helps!

Does Apple make/sell the new "Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic" with a one sided configuration? So that a person that is deaf in one can hear both sides of a stereo recording? Also, since the "other" bud is not necessary/useful...it's removed.

As far as I know, Apple sells no such configuration. However, under Settings > General > Accessability, there is an option to play back audio in monoural mode, which would then play both halves of a stereo mix in each earbud.
Hope that helps.

New Apple In-Ear Headphones

Okay, I had a few questions to ask before I go out and by these so I don't waste my money.
1. Are the new In-Ear headphones compatible with the Original iPhone?
2. Are they sold at Best Buy?
If anyone could help me that would be great

Hello Covenant,
First, the Apple In-Ear Headphones will work with the iPhone except for the volume control function. This thread and link provide some information on them:

Whether Best Buy carries them or not, I can't answer. They are not listed on their online store, but you can always contact your local brick-and-mortar Best Buy and see if they have them in stock.

TS2634 Apple In ear headphones freeze my iPad

I have had my ipad3 for about a month now with no issue. Today I tried plugging my apple in ear headphones in and it keeps freezing my iPad. I can't hear anything or touch anything,but once I unplug them it works fine. It doesn't matter if I am playing music or videos. I am sure they are plugged in all the way. I tried resetting the iPad. The headphones work fine in our iPod. Help!

Bring it to apple store, they will fix it for you.
Hopefully they will replace you a new in ear headphones.

Apple in ear headphones vs.voice control

...never happened with the standard earphones....I was so delighted with the sound of my new InEar Apple earphones....but all of a sudden they started having this problem: after about 1/2 hour listening to music in my gs3 phone, the sound suddenly goes down and the voice control starts....after a few seconds the music starts again, but only for a few mins....then the problem.....again and again....not the ideal way to listen to good music!!!
Has anyone experienced a similar inconvenience?

I have a similar problem with my Apple in ear headphones.
If I'm lying in bed, the button goes haywire and will stop whatever is playing.
It sometimes starts again, sometimes doesn't.
Sometimes it will act as if I'm fast forwarding it, changed the speed to 2x on the iPod application.
Then it just cuts out. I have to press the button again to get it to start.
Occasionally, if the headphones are just plugged in and nothing's happening, the button will activate itself and start music, stop it randomly and skip songs randomly too.

Broken apple in-ear headphone

i have an apple in ear headphone with a broken TRS connector - i was listening to music in the airplane and when I pulled the cable out, the tip of the connector remained inside the plug. Is it possible to have it fixed?

connect the headset with a computer or something else which also have a 3.5mm minijack connector to see if it's the headset which is broken or if it's the connector in the phone
and warrenty covers everything you got in the box

Apple in-ear headphones do not work with iPhone5

I have some Apple branch in-ear headphones, which do not fully function with my new iPhone5. I had the iPhone4, and they worked flawlessly with that, but now they are just plain old headphones, none of the click functions work. Is this a bug?

FYI, this resolved itself. I think the connection in the iPhone needed to have some coating or something removed. Inserting and removing the headphone connector a bunch of times, and then it started working.

Don't enjoy the included earbuds? Try the Apple in-ear headphones...

Hi everyone!
I thought I'd provide some feedback after enjoying the new shuffle for the past couple of days.
I've cast aside the included earbuds in favor of Apple's in-ear headphones. For those that may not yet know, these have the same controls as the included set and are absolutely 100% compatible with the new shuffle. The only difference is that there's also a microphone embedded in the remote but this is simply redundant as far as the shuffle goes (it comes into play with the iPhone, iPod touch and the 4th gen Nano).
The benefit that I've discovered to using the in-ear phones with the shuffle are:
1) You still retain full control over all the functions. At the time of this writing, this is the only alternative set of phones that can do this!
2) They do not fall out while jogging, working out, etc. if this is a problem for you with the existing set.
3) The sound is incredibly detailed and thus you can take complete advantage of one of the main features of the new shuffle - the ability to use lossless tracks. These phones can easily deliver all the extra detail that's available by opting to use lossless tracks. While I admire the ability to re-encode your music to 128k/AAC on the fly for use with the shuffle plus the fact that compression technology is very good for what it is, to my ears lossless is enormously superior to 128k, and I prefer to have 10 albums at amazing quality than 50 albums at so-so quality.
4) Sound isolation is superior, so outdoor listening isn't a problem. I've also tested these on a recent flight, and I found that they hold up extremely well - so much so that I no longer use my active noise cancelling headphones.
So basically, I've discovered that the new shuffle paired with the in-ear phones make a formidable combination. If you are not satisfied with the included phones but still want full control over your shuffle...consider them recommended.
I don't work for Apple - just an enthusiastic customer wishing to share his experiences and help others who may be looking for a solution.

Although the price of the in-ears is as much as the shuffle itself, the advantage of purchasing them is that you can also use them with an iPhone, iPod Nano, Touch, etc as well which makes them a much better value.
I think that it's good to have more just the shuffle as sometimes it's good to watch video or have more precise control over your track selection.
