good+cheap don’t go together.
That said, Ibanez offers some of the best value for money in the market, but their (as well as everyone else’s) entry level equipment still sucks.
You don’t need headphones, you don’t need that pouch, the cables that come with kits are always poor quality and not long enough, the instruction booklets can’t hope to be as good as decent instructors (and those will have their own preferred books for you to get), etc. etc.
And that’s not even talking about the guitars and amps in those packs, which are of very poor quality.
Instead you should look at a lower model RG or SA (NOT GRG or GSA) and a Vox or Roland amplifier (if all you are interested in is metal, Line6 and Marshall may also work for you). Get a PlanetWaves 20 foot cable to go with it.
Will cost more, but you will end up having far better equipment that will please you for years rather than frustrate you after a few weeks.
