My last Shoei Air-GT wanderer (LOVE the internal sun visor) was around $700CAD. I've never really subscribed to the junk after 5 years philosophy of helmet makers, so I sort of view helmets as capital assets that I can get 8-10 years out of -- assuming no drops or crashes of course.
As others have said, you can get a good full-face for around $200. With the higher priced helmets you are basically paying for quietness, lack of buffeting and better ventilation/fog resistance. All luxuries, but nice if you do longer distance rides.
