Headphones usually have a high mark up from 70-150%+ so even when their half off the store still makes a decent profit. That's why stores usually try to upsell headphones when somebody buys an iPod or something. They only make about $10 off the iPod. Headphones, cases, screen protectors, and extra chargers are where they make their money.
I worked at an electronics store when the beats by dre first came out and they $199.99 regular price. One time they went on sale for 119.99 so that was already about 70% off and a customer used a 40% off voucher on the sale price so it went down to about $71 and they still weren't close to the cost price for the headphones.
