Hi,

I don’t know if its just my imagination or can active noise-canceling actually be felt in your ears? Like I get they cancel out soundwaves but it leaves a kind of pressure behind. After some time it stresses me out more than actual noise from traffic. Is this placebo or a real thing?

It feels like when you go on a airplane and your ears close because of the altitude switch, and I get the same reflex of trying to yawn to make it go away

    Had this for the first hour or so. It’s an odd filling of pressure or being floaty. Then I used them in the yard and being able to focus on something else entirely distracted me from the feeling and now I don’t get it anymore. I still absolutely cannot stand how quiet it is without music playing though.

    I think it’s because the headphones cannot cancel out the pressure waves 100% or something so pressure is still hitting your ear but it is outside your range of hearing so you can still feel it just can’t hear it.
