I’ve never used those, but I think I would hate them. The height adjustment is made with one of those stupid ball and hole adjustments that are always a bitch to use. I prefer the quick release lever type. They also don’t come with a variety of tips. Rocky terrain is much better with rubber tips, dirt is better with a hard metal point. For soft sand/like dirt I add small baskets and for snow I use big baskets.
these are the ones I use
I think they were about $25 when I bought them. The things I looked for was cork handles (personal preference, but no clear benefit over foam handles), quick release lever adjustments (the twist locks suck), semi light weight, a selection of tips, and affordable. I didn’t care to spend the money on carbon fiber or shock absorption.
