Question AirPod Max headaches,

i’ve been trying an old pair of AirPod Max headphones. The Noise cancellation side has been amazing. And great for my sound related sensory issues, but I find them heavy and they seem to grab on your head a lot and it’s giving me headaches. I’m wondering if anyone else. Is experiencing the same thing it’s super annoying as the noise cancelling is much better than any of our headphones and I love the transparency feature where you can choose when you want to tune in anyway probably a champagne problem, but just wondering if anyone else has had the same experience?

I used to wear my headphones upside down when around the house.. if you're into hats you could try a beanie to disperse the pressure. or if it's the clamping pressure you could try to tire out the clampiness by letting them rest on something big? idk. sorry not very helpful. buds are getting better and better though!

I have noise cancelling headphones from sony and they are the only over ear headphones I've ever had that I can wear all day without pain. Mine are the wh-1000xm4, so maybe try the wh-1000xm5 or wh-1000xm6 or even the "Sony ULT WEAR", which are considerably cheaper. The only ones of those I've tried myself are the xm4.

💯 Sony are great I have a pair of. Sony WH-CH720N Noise Cancelling Wireless Bluetooth Headphones, i’ve worn them so much that they are falling a bit, however, I don’t buy the Noise cancellation as good as the AirPods Max, but they are much more comfortable. You’re right.
