Posted .Hi TanishkaK, it's great to hear that you appreciate the feel and sound quality. However, I'm sorry to hear that they sometimes cause headaches. Please make sure that the headphones are not too tight. Sometimes, adjusting the headband or the position of the ear cups can make a significant difference. If you are using the headphones for extended periods, try taking short breaks to give your ears and head some rest.

Cant go wrong with this line ever
