No notable loss of comfort so I say its worth the buy. Solch Sonos 5. Place in case with lots of time and patience! I wear glasses, hats and dont like earbuds, so my options for headphones are pretty slim. This product holds my earphones perfectly and I love the color it matches my phone perfectly. Mids and lower end sound a little muffled and the bass is a little bloated, similar to earpods. ) The sole is cushioned and the arch support is perfect. Im completely happy and satisfied with this product. Inexpensive. Given this discovery, I?d only ask then that they?d add 4 more straps so that you could secure the bag on both sides in addition to front / rear.
