I was looking at that one and just trying to figure out what the difference would be with that a a $30-40 one
It can be a number of things I think, how thick the plastic is, what metal the frames are made of, what kind of bag they come in, etc.

I have some Neewer ND filters and they are pretty good quality overall, they can be a bit sticky to the lens if left out in the sun, I guess they expand a bit and make it hard to unscrew them.

I have a couple sets of the Neewer filters and am very happy with them.

I have the set that was linked above and I have another set that had 9 filters I think. Make sure you get the correct size for your lens. They are not universal. I only use the filters every once in a while, so you may not be looking at pictures I took with the filter. Below are a few I took under heavy blue led light with a yellow filter.
