Not only advisable, but required by law. If you are just a hobbyist flying for fun and not Part 107 Certified, you are operating your drone under "49 USC 44809: Exception for limited recreational operations of unmanned aircraft". Among other requirements, one of them is the following:
(3) The aircraft is flown within the visual line of sight of the person operating the aircraft or a visual observer co-located and in direct communication with the operator.

They say they should receive more kits Monday, but who knows in today's market?
I added a 3rd bundle, which maybe the best one (top link)
Just curious, would it be advisable to have someone with you while flying with the headset on? I can imagine someone approaching you if you're by yourself and if it's a certain element of our society, things not going well. Only reason I ask is I'm curious if the headset has a bypass that let's you view your surroundings while flying. It would be slick if it gave you a PiP or a HUD while being able to view your surroundings. I suspect neither at this price point.

Correct, I know about you needing to be able to visually see the drone at all times, but was curious about how the headset works, if you can't be aware of your surroundings while flying, unless you're saying that you need a spotter that has a visual of the drone while you're flying.
