Because that is what it said when I ordered mine from Amazon Canada and they didn't last more than 2 months and one thing you can be certain of is that Apple will not sell on Amazon. I have a retail business and sell a brand of optics called Vortex. They make binoculars, spotting scopes, rifle scopes and so on and you can find their stuff on Amazon and all the while Vortex has no idea where it comes from since they say it most certainly does not come from them or any of their dealers who care because if Vortex found out that dealer would be not a dealer any more. If you think Amazon itself really cares whether its sellers sell authentic or knock-off products you'd be surprised. You have to remember that anyone can sell on Amazon whether it's a responsible seller who cares about what they sell or a few Chinese or other Asian renegades who produce a copy of something, maybe even in the same factory where the authentic product is made. If you ever go to any of the large markets in Vietname, Cambodia or Hong Kong you'd be surprised how much "authentic" looking North Face clothing, Louis Vuitton, Chanel or other designer stuff is sold.

But, having said this, I ordered a pair of these as well because they are cheaper than from Apple, but while they were almost identical I can't swear that they were and I am thinking they might be a knock-off. The ones I ordered lasted all of 2 months whereas I usually get at least a year out of the original Apple ones and I use them all the time, roll them over my hand and stuff them in my pocket, I have gotten hooked on something with the cord and all that.
