Worth it, carrying case is helpful to keep them clean
I wish I bought these sooner. I feel lame but weddings, bars, and even some sporting events are just too loud for me these days. I've worn these to 2 basketball games and I enjoyed the live band instead of wishing it wasn't so loud. I also wore them to dinner with friends and I didn't leave feeling like I had a headache I had to sleep off. I also love how discreet they are, no one even knew I was wearing them. My only complaint is sometimes they feel like they are adding some pressure to my ears, but I found that if I lift my ear while putting them in, they sit more comfortably.
