I have an older Steel series Arctis 7 Chat (the one with the USB PA system dongle) that I got around release date in 2021 and the earpads are falling apart. With shipping, the cost of the legacy earpads are 1/3 of the cost of the Nova 5's do I upgrade? Any other suggestions?

Title. I've loved the shit out of these headphones and have had thousands of hours of gameplay and I'm not sure I can tell a difference in audio quality if it's gone down at all after all these years. Anyway went to see how much OEM legacy earpads are and they are $26 USD plus $10 shipping, when I can get the Nova 5's for around $120 USD on amazon/target. Is it worth upgrading, or should I just get the new ear pads? Any other suggestions?
