      Hi Walt18, Awesome! We're glad that the headphone works fantastic. The WH-1000XM5 headphones have 2 processors that control 8 microphones for unprecedented noise cancellation and exceptional call quality. With a newly developed 30mm driver, DSEE – Extreme and Hi-Res audio support they provide awe-inspiring audio quality. Our Voice Pickup Technology uses 4 microphones that are calibrated to only pick up your voice, resulting in crystal clear calls. The automatic Speak to Chat feature will stop your music once you start talking and let in the ambient sound. With up to 30 hours of battery life and a quick charge feature. The new lightweight WH-1000XM5 headphones provide all day comfort in an elegant design. Thanks for choosing Sony. Erin Sony_US

      Hi Edi363, thank you for your feedback and we're sorry if your head hurts while using these for 8 hours. Below are some of the reasons why it hurts when putting on and wearing headphones:

      1. Under certain environmental conditions, especially when the air is very dry, it is not uncommon to experience a slight static electricity discharge or mild shock when your body comes in contact with another object, in this case the ear buds touching your ear(s). The energy from this natural discharge is extremely small and was not generated by your product but rather a natural environmental occurrence. There is no safety issue with the product itself.

      2. You may be experiencing a symptom called listener fatigue. That is where your eardrums work hard to manage the volume that flows through your ear canal. The louder the volume, the bigger the strain on your eardrums, which then causes the feeling of fatigue.
      Note: Try lowering the volume or take a break from wearing them for a while.

      3. How long have you been wearing the headphones? The longer you wear headphones, the more your ears may hurt.
      Note: You may need to limit your headphone usage.


      Should you need further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com.

      Regards,
      Erin Sony_US
