Default Beats headphones teardown makes mockery of the price

A tear down has revealed some fairly embarrassing truths about the pricy Beats headphones.

Beats are pretty expensive, which is one of the reasons that they are now part of the Apple stable.

According to some new in-depth analysis put together by engineer Avery Louie, the most expensive thing about the headphones is the box it comes in.

Louie figures that a pair of Beats headphones that retails for $199 costs about $17 to produce which is bad enough. But the packaging including the manual, soft case, box, and sleeve run about $7. The speakers themselves cost less than $10 each.
