Yeah, I've noticed this too. I'm not an audiophile, but I do enjoy quality audio. Everything seems to plateu around the 300$ price point. At that level, the sound is reproduced with as much accuracy as reasonably possible, and the build quality is pretty good. Anything beyond that point is basically added "features" and does not reflect improvement in sound reproduction.
I don't want "Tripple bass rumbler", or "Crisp treble supercharger". I want my headset to reproduce the audio as perfectly as possible, without altering it.
Come to think of it, adjusted for inflation, the Roland headsets I've had for the past 20 years have all been around 300$
I mostly agree with that, I would even go as far as saying that the reproduction quality starts to plateu with good $100 devices. A vast majority of the audio recordings isn't just good enough in quality for a good headset too make much of a difference. All of the music if you're using spotify xD.
That said, I don't have a lot of things, but I consider the outrageusly expensive Sennheise IE 600, I typically wear 10h+ daily, worth it.
How can you reasonably enjoy Subwoofer: The Movie without the $1600 triple bass rumbler?!
