Obviously you're paying for the hardware; wireless charging base, 4/5 star audio quality, fold to mute, audio/mix controls built in. Had this for a few years now and only have these issues:

Dated as fuck software side that was hard to find, the astro site didn't have it and doesn't seem to support it anymore.
Got a big head here, so I had to take out the pad at the top. It felt like how that one tyler1 pic looks. That leaves the plastic spines there; while flimsy-feeling, haven't broken yet/are slightly bendy.
Decent comfort, though taking it off after a while is a relief. I wish the A50s were slightly larger. I had hyperX before and those were comfy as fuck.
Placing on the charging stand is finicky, the contacts don't always line up. On the other hand, the battery lasts a long time. Not having to plug in to charge is a fantastic convenience.

Accurate. I wish it had a pop filter or something. Also, flip-to-mute always plays a click sound to everyone else, though it's not enough to cause complaints.

Overall I'd rate these as worth it if you're getting a few years of mileage out of them. I will say that when these die for whatever reason, I'm going back to something simpler and more comfortable.
