Never had a premium nor wireless headset before. I come a headset that I believe was some green Halo themed headset almost 20 years ago. Is that what the price premium is between headsets in this price range vs wired ones? I recently built a computer to play some games and decided I don't want the desktop speakers. So I would like to try a headset but because I'm older now want to get something a little more premium. I definitely want wireless but what other feature make this thing MSRP 300. I truly appreciate it!!

I'm sure people will vary widely in their tastes but you can usually get the wireless Razer Kaira (Green Xbox version) on sale for under $80.
To me that's a pretty low price. I have probably 10-15 different headsets and while some sound different than the other i personally wouldn't pay $200 or probably even $150 unless you really have your heart set on a specific model.

You'll need to do your own research on the Astro A50 (watch a YouTube review or something if you don't like reading) but just off the top of my head here's a few features:
*Up to 15 hour battery
*Easily recharge using the magnetic docking station/cradle (like those old wireless phones we had in the 90s)
*Decent range around the house (easily 15-20 feet assuming no obstacles like a wall or upstairs/downstairs)
*Convenient controls right on the headset itself such as Volume Up/Down, Chat/Game sound balance (for being in a party with others online), select different sound profiles (such as bigger bass or higher treble depending on what kind of game or movie you are playing/watching)
These might be a bit overpriced but I would also recommend them as long as you're OK with the cost.
There could be better headphones out there for you but honestly it would probably take a lot of trial and error and more than a few purchases for you to find out which is perfect for you.

This is currently 150 at bb.
I had this briefly, the base station equalizer was muting voice so I loaded up the software. Software would not detect the headset (base station). Returned.
This is the old model, using old software that is seemingly being abandoned in favor of ghub. I would stay away.

old but good thumbs up, I tried so many brands before but Astro it was always on my top 3, I had the A50 gen 3 and love them a lot, I waited for so long for the gen 4 to go on sale that I ended up buying the Sony Inzone H9, to me sound and confort are the most important factors, you can't go wrong with either of this (H9 or A50)
