First, different earphone materials, driving unit, cable, shell and magnet in the shell are the main factors of the price gap. For example, earphone a uses ordinary diaphragm, ordinary copper wire and dynamic earphone; B the earphone uses graphene diaphragm, single crystal oxygen free copper wire and four action iron earphone. The materials are different, of course, the cost is different.
The second is the manufacturing process of earphones. In addition to good materials and drivers, exquisite design and beautiful appearance also make the price of headphones expensive. Top headphone manufacturers will have their own design, R & D and engineering departments. From design to tuning, it is exquisite work. A slightly decent headset costs hundreds of yuan.
Third, profit level and value orientation. The price of high-end headphones is determined according to their value. Good brand headphones can bring you value. As a consumer product, headphones need R & D investment and continue to produce new models, so every R & D investment is quite high, and the marginal cost remains high.
So why are earphones so small and so expensive? Behind a finished earphone, it takes a lot of human and material resources to realize assembly line production.
