New Headphones? But….

So I have been hoping to find some really comfortable headphones as I looove listening to music for hours!

I’ve seen really great recommendations on TikTok for these Bose quiet comfort headphones and they were on sale at Best Buy for $240

I tried them in store and they felt really comfortable but I came home and had them on for like 1hr and a half and boy the side of my face was hurting so bad

The sound quality overall and the app controls/eq customization overall were really good but just not comfortable for me!

I think I have what you’d call small/medium sized ears soo if anyone has some good recommendations PLEASE let me know!!

2024/2/20 Edited to

... Read moreWhen searching for headphones that provide both comfort and sound quality, it’s essential to consider individual ear size and shape. Many users have reported discomfort after extended use, especially with over-ear models like the Bose QuietComfort series. Before making a purchase, try headphones in-store for fit, and consult reviews focusing on comfort. For those with small or medium ears, brands like Sony, Sennheiser, and Apple offer options that may be more suitable. Look for lightweight designs and models with adjustable headbands. Additionally, reading user reviews and watching online demos can help in making a well-informed decision. As technology advances, more options with customizable ear cushions and improved ergonomics are becoming available, making it easier to find headphones that suit your unique needs. Don’t hesitate to reach out to fellow music lovers for further recommendations!

I have the studio beats and they’ve been great so far. I have the same issue with my ears being small and earbuds not really being an option.
