When I have those kind of issues, I sleep directly on the floor for a few hours or a night or two. It’s worked for me many times for many years.

But that’s me, not anyone else.

And it feels uncomfortable for a while, but forces my muscles to relax.

Yep.

I prefer other technologies over noise cancelling in my ordinary use anyway. And my ears feel healthier. But that’s me, not you.

For wireless headphones I've gone to bone conduction and open-ear. Started with some cheap models from Ali-Express to see how I liked it. I did.

Shokz had a black friday deal on Open-Run Pros and those are my goto. Admittedly, they are not as convenient as my Airpods were, but my ears appreciate not being bombarded with noise canceling.

The measure of audio is what comes out of the speakers not what is written on the web.

My Airpod Pros are the most convenient personal audio device I have ever used. Sound wise they pale in comparison to my Sony MDR-ZX100 which I bought on sale for $9.99 at Best Buy...unfortunately the new model is about $15 regular price and maybe not as good (but I doubt it).

Sure the Airpod Pros sound better than ordinary Airpods or the wired Airbuds, but that's a really low bar for an audio device.

This would make a more appropriate link for ShowHN because waitlists are not intellectually interesting and there is nothing to play with or try out.
