I bought a set of these and to be fair they’re not bad. The big thing for me was that I wouldn’t need to sharpen them, just turn the carbide when required. They gave me the confidence to have a go, and are pretty easy to get decent results from with little prior knowledge.

I later bought a set of conventional chisels and am slowly learning how to use them properly. After using them for a while, I now appreciate the difference between them, and much prefer to use the conventional chisels, albeit they need more effort to maintain a good edge.

Just have a go with the carbides and start to develop your skills.
