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

Yes I just get really tired and it feels like there's something pressing against your eardrums. I had these issues with the Sony xm3 and 4 headphones. However I do not have the same issues with their iems.
