Samy's Camera had this bundle for $30 about a year ago. I'm not a producer, so my opinion is more from casual gamer and someone who's always listening to music.
Headphones were decent, very light, surprisingly good seal around the ears, cushioning was stiffer, closer to styrofoam than the softer pleather seals others use. But the cable stopped working after a few months.
I use the mic for Discord and gaming. It's not bad, not much difference from a Blue Yeti or Behringer Bigfoot, except smaller and lighter, but the monitoring is not loud enough to hear myself unless every audio source is very low.
The speakers are good, except no bluetooth or built-in battery. They're pretty small, directional and flat, which I guess is the point, but from a listening, non-producer experience I wouldn't recommend it. You'd get a better experience from a medium-sized bluetooth speaker.
For this price you can definitely get better gear, especially used.
