sinus issues from AirPod Pros?

[burritolove]

So my old airpods are/were great, i upgraded to the pros and love the sound, and ANC but my nose stuffs up everytime i use BOTH airpods (L&R) at the same time. anyone get this feeling? its like air isnt releasing and builds pressure. wondering if returning them and going to the beats solo pro is better.

i've had in ear buds before but never noise cancelling ones

I had similar concerns as well, but then I actually fell ill shortly after so that explained it. If you're not falling ill, though, could be something else.

Is it your first time to use ANC? I felt this at first, but after 2-3 days it felt like normal, maybe I got used to it.

AirPods Pro are the only ‘in ears’ to have a vent to equalize pressure. ANC 100% has nothing to do with blocking pressure. If you were to get any other in ears, the pressure buildup would be worse by design.

Airpods are not ‘in ear’. More like hanging off the ear without a tip. So that’s why you’ve never had an issue.

Anything that plugs your ear will block pressure. Your surroundings and activity will determine how much of a pressure difference occurs. Occasionally pull them out momentarily to equalize the pressure when you feel discomfort.
