My last pair was $6500! My current pair was $1500, because I found out that Costco sells them at cost.

They're not just headphones. They're several microphones, speakers, Bluetooth devices, and advanced processing computers to make them sound natural, operate in the correct bands and sound amplification levels, and be small & resilient enough to fit into or onto your ears. There's also the costs of testing, fitting, programming, and all of the other support services that come with them. They do have crazy mark-up everywhere except Costco, but they're not really comparable to a set of ear buds.
