I've come to the conclusion that, unless you're some kind of audio professional, it's really not worth it to spend this much on buds, even with the discounted price. Especially considering their limited lifespan due to battery degradation.
It helps to have more than one pair to compare and contrast one directly after another, but if you've been using sub $50 headphones and use something in the $100 range, even Sony MDV-6/7506 or Grado SR60, you're going to hear a lot of things you didn't hear before. It was an eye-opening experience for me and if you really love music it's 100% worth it to get good headphones.

Anc on the az100 is pretty mid.. Does fine with lower frequencies but doesn't block much upper mid or higher frequencies
I got in on the $128 woot deal and the az100 anc performs too poorly compared to the xm5 and bose qc ultra
Wouldn't expect the 80s to perform differently
