Good price. Because for as old and simple this connection standard is, these cables are hard to find at a reasonable price. Two caution notes though:
The extension cable is only 3 ft. It may be good for car use or something. But I feel a 6-footer would be more optimal/versatile for desk/office use.
Both the splitter and the extension cable are 3-pole cables. So they will only work for headphones (listen-only mode) and not for headsets with mics (listen and talk). Count the number of metal segments on your hadphone's plug (which are separated by colored plastic). If it's 3, you are good. If it's four, don't buy.
Anecdotally, I would recommend getting a USB-C hub that does the following 2 things to save yourself dongle nightmare in the future:
- HDMI with 4k at minimum of 60Hz
- Ethernet
These are the two areas manufacturers typically skimp

Bought that hub awhile ago for my wife's M1 MacBook Air and she's been happy with it. She's been through a few hubs that have failed, but so far so good with this one. The SD card slot being on the end is nice cause a lot of times it's stuck inbetween USB/HDMI ports making it annoying to use. Also, 4k @ 60Hz for this price is great cause most are only 4k @30Hz.

A real dock would be better for use of those types of ports. The interference between these ports can be problematic when in parallel use.
I would actually add a USB-C data port on the hub as the top item. Once this uses the available USB C port on your laptop, you will not have a USB C port available anymore. And sooner or later you wish there was one.
curious; is this (typically) indicative of better chipset(s) throughout the rest of the hub?
Sorry, not sure about the chipsets. I'd venture to guess no because these are made with the cheapest components in mind.

Most of these have the USB C port only for power.
A real dock would definitely be better but we are talking about something small/portable/affordable.
