I'm sure it's worth the money if you have plenty to spare, but somehow I suspect that OP isn't just trying to be thrifty, and your advice is about as helpful as telling them to just walk on water.
Also buy used, I just got a pair of WH-1000XM3s that still have the original case for $100. The ANC is so much better than any new $100 headphones and the battery life is still great.
