You have to pick a higher end phone and a lower end earbuds to get to 'a fraction of the price' in realistic terms. The very cheapest headphones aren't going to sound good or last long, and are still going to be in the range of 1/5th of the price of a budget phone vs 1/16 out something that is more in line with calling something 'a fraction of' something.
