Why is Apple charging so much for so less? Options

[Tung]

So my Ipod earphones, the one that comes originally when you buy a brand new Ipod, stopped working. So I decided to go to the Apple Store to replace my earphones. I asked the salesman there where can I get Ipod earphones, and he directed me to it. I saw it and grabbed a box of the Ipod earphones. To my surprise, I saw the price on it at $29.99. I mean seriously? I mean $30 ain't nothing to me, but for some cheap Ipod earphones to be charged that much is beyond ridiculous. I mean they don't even last long, and they fall off your ears easily. So I said f**k it, and decided to go to Best Buys, and I bought a pair of Phillips earphones which was half as expensive, and worked 5 times better than the Ipod earphones.

Lol they can charge that much just because their name is on the product.

I never liked their earphones, I remember using them when I would listen to my friends ipods during food fundamentals class in high school. I got a zune later, I liked their earphones a ton better. They cost 30$ if you lose them. Of course when I bought my xps laptop dell sent a pair of earphones that were the exact same as the zune ones, so I have two pairs
