| A literal dent in your skull? |

| It’s not in the skull, it’s in the soft tissue on top of it. I’ve had the same dent after wearing them for a while, it comes out after a while. |

| ▲ | secalex 7 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Phew, that's a relief. Guess that's a reasonable compromise for a $550 product for which there are no other quality competitors. | | |
| ▲ | pointlessone 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | It literally gives me a headache after more than an hour of wearing it. This never happens with may AKG that has a very utilitarian and simple headband—a flat piece of plastic. It’s not pretty but I can wear AKG for a whole day and enjoy every minute of it while I’m phisically sick after an hour of AirPods Pro. | |

| Yeah. My bone grew around the two plastic pieces of the band because the mesh in the middle lost all of its springiness. One day I felt my head and decided that I was switching as soon as a competitor refreshed. |

| Not the skull, but probably the scalp. Our scalp is made up of skin, fat, and muscle. When you press a rigid object against it for hours every day, that soft tissue temporarily compresses. It happens to my kid who wears headphones for gaming. It's the same mechanism that leaves red marks on your nose after wearing glasses, or grooves on your ankles after wearing tight socks. Wash your hair, give up on the headphones, and it'll return to normal. The QC2 are about half the weight of the AirPods Max, and apparently the mesh in the AirPods Max band sags, and allows the metal bars to "dig in" to your scalp. Enough to cause irritation, but 400 or 500 grams resting on your head can't mess with an adult, developed skull. |
