Prices in the US generally don’t include VAT, and maybe there’s some exchange or import fee on top as well.

And often there's also an invisible consumer rights 'tax' on top. Since online purchases and warranty are quite heavily regulated in Europe, sellers often add some margin to cover the extra costs this might bring.

Likely this. 349 EUR is 17% VAT on 299.

They can charge more because the synths are so complicated!
