The final price is also directly related to how many of them they have to sell in order to reach the break-even payback point. My guess is that they sell a lot more jacks with a lot more consistency so they can afford to have a smaller pack back per unit because they know they'll sell enough to make the economics work. The Senn plug is a niche product that has never been offered before by any company so I'm sure Cardas had to be conservative in projecting annual sales and so on. Maybe if they sell enough in the first year they'll drop the price, who knows?
The only thing that I know for certain is that I much prefer working with them compared to the old hack and tap method of modifying an existing cable.
