After years and thousands of hours of marching band, death metal, and aviation, *Ozon salute*
I first bought these 5 or 6 years ago in preparation for a single concert with hopes they'd prevent tinnitus that my elders have complained about receiving from isolated events. They did their job; they blocked out just enough noise for the final product to be clear, and I could still hold conversations. As well, they lasted beyond that one event. Long, long beyond. They come as two pieces that are pretty easily separable. These bad boys do justice to a college student heavily involved in everything noisy. I write this now upon replacing them; I parted with my previous pair as they fell to my feet backstage after an accident in which I broke my skull in a location directly adjacent to my ear. I doubt they have that protective power as well, but regardless, my hearing is still fully intact. So is their heavily seasoned case, including the gasket. It's worth it, dude. Again, my hearing is still perfect after *that* and years of everything noisy and otherwise damaging.
