1000% yes. I’m on my 3rd pair. I use them almost daily. Being in a band, going to shows, riding motorcycle, work stuff, loud bars, home improvement projects, at this point I could not live without them. As someone else mentioned, filters are expensive, but get a pair of 15+ dB filters and you’ll be good 99% of the time. You only get one pair of ears, so treat yourself.

Heck yes. I just popem whole. No waste.

I also eat kiwis like apples, so maybe I’m a freak.

My answer was going to be that there’s probably a nerve there.

Your answer is much better.
