There's not much chance of picking up interference if the 'soundcard' is directly in the ear cup.

- CPU: Ryzen 7 5700U. I wish AMD had came up with a honest naming system for their Ryzens, just like Intel (where the first 1-2 digits give away the generation of the CPU), because unlike what the "5" on "5700" would suggest a Zen 5, this is actually a rather old Zen 2 SoC! This one is actually a low-end part (it's a "U" with a measly 15W TDP), quite popular on cheap laptops and mini PCs, but that packs quite a lot of punch anyway. Linux Just Works™ with it. mitigations=off or GTFO is the rule in this house, even if the performance gains are hardly measurable these days with all those microcode and BIOS mitigations in place.

- Ethernet: *crickets* Thaaaaanks Apple. Had to spend $20 on a USB-C Ethernet dongle, a TP-Link UE300C which is gigabit and Just Works™ (ASIX chipset). USB3 adds 1-2ms of latency to your ping, so don't bother playing competitive online shooters with it.
