It's a nice ideal, but that's not how economics works. The construction materials might cost $10; but then theres:
- Advertising costs
- Shipping costs (to pretty much anywhere. Obviously more expensive if it's overseas)
- Staff wages
- Profit margin for the manufacturing company
- Retail Staff wages
- Profit margin for the retailers

And a most likely a shitload more besides. What's more, I'd be a bit suspicious of hardware designed to last that only cost $10 to manufacture.
Specs 'n' Headphones has been revamped! Check it, yo.
