Worth-it verdict
Prioritise 2.4GHz USB-C dongle latency, planar or dynamic driver tuning, clamp comfort over long sessions, and boom-mic clarity. Proven gaming hardware can remain class-leading, though street price and warranty matter more. The review score and price are strong enough that retail pricing can make sense.
