As the title says, I’m experiencing some quite noticeable ear pain around the top and back of my ear cartilage whenever I wear my cloud III S headphones that slowly builds up as I wear them until it’s noticeable and then annoying.
They’re about a month old, worn pretty regularly given the circumstances and bought from Amazon if that changes anything.
What I’m not understanding though is I had the regular cloud III wireless from the day those came out in Australia until I upgraded and never had an issue this bad, just the occasional warmth issue from the leatherette.
From the outside they don’t look like much of a change from the old pair, so I’m unsure how they’re causing such significant pain?
Is it possible the earpads were faulty, and could that issue be relieved by upgrading to third party cushioning? Or is it worth trying to replace them? Can that even be grounds for replacement?
