This is so strange to read about. I’ve worn my QC35 (and QC25 before them) almost every day for about 8-10 hours a day, for years, and not once have I experienced any kind of discomfort related to their use. I’m on the completely opposite camp, where I’ll sometimes even have them on just for the noise-cancelling effect, but nothing playing. I don’t need it (not even surrounded by noise most of the time), I’m just used to it.
To hear that people are feeling “searing ear pain” seems so... weird. These are by far the most comfortable and enjoyable headphones I’ve had, and they hurt people.
