It's no secret that electronics typically cost significantly less to make than what they're retailed for. PCMag reports it costs around $200 to make an iPhone 4S and that device's retail value is upwards of $400.
Well, the uber famous Beats By Dre line is no exception to this rule. According to a New York Times article, headphone designers estimate "the cost of making a fancy headset is as low as $14." With Beats headphones starting at around $250, that would be a 1700% increase going back to the company.
Aside from that, Beats has a 27% market share in the headphone industry. Their marketing is next level, but at the end of the day it's all subjective. Do you guys have Beats and if so which pair did you invest in?
