I'm asking the question to see if I 'might' be allergic to the material but if others find the product uncomfortable (e.g there is no breathing potential of the pads) then it might just be a design issue. Thanks for your unhelpful response.

then you should go see your doctor or physician to see if you might be.

If it is a design issue then get something else that you're comfortable with or aren't allergic to.

Hi community, can you purchase different ear pads for the air pod max earphones? I purchased a new headset and I can honestly say they are the most uncomfortable earphones I have ever bought. They make my ears ache after just a few minutes. For finer detail, they make my ears sweat, they grind against the skin on my ears and again, after just a few minutes, I have to take them off due to the pain they cause me. I'm guessing I might be having some form of allergic reaction to the material so again, are there options for replacement materials/pads? Disappointed is an understatement, am I alone here or is this a problem others have? Thanks,

Disappointed that you're allergic to the material?

I'd rather survey a larger cohort in this expert/familiar community to see if anyone else finds them uncomfortable to wear, if that's Ok with you, as that would far outweigh the probability of me finding one or two local colleagues to check this out with. Let's see if anyone else has a more sensible response than you have provided. I've been fair, different ear pads or i'll have to go back to my Bose earphones, as clearly they dont work for me. However, if others suffer the same issue (my point of call) then I know its not entirely me. Your response was pretty abrupt to be honest. Are you an adult?

Per the TOS you signed up for, this isn't a place for surveys. Do the survey on your social media account.

Again, if you your underage, ask your parents to take you to your doctor so you can get checked out for allergies.
