It entirely depends on how much and what you'll use them for. They're going to be around $200 USD all in, so if they're for occasional use probably not. If you're going to use them a lot like for work or a regular hobby then it's not a crazy amount to spend. They tend to be more comfortable than flange earplugs, and a little better than foamies, but for me at least I don't want them in for more than 3 hours.
Etymotic makes a few different ones for general noise, sleeping, music, and they also do ones for their earphones.
