>My AirPods Max 1 left a headband dent in my skull from how poor the quality of the headband was after more than a year of daily use.

You should get checked out. No adult should have a dent put in their skull by headphones.

I hope that commenter was being hyperbolic. I have heard of headphones making visible impressions or “dents” in the soft tissue and msucle after long periods of use (Google Tyler1 headphone dent if you don’t believe me), but such a dent would disappear within minutes or hours. An actual deformation of the skull due to headphone-wearing would definitely be strange.

That's not true. After an hour of wearing AirPods Max 1, my skull dipped temporarily in where the two bands are.

It's a horrendous headband design. All the pressure is on two thin bands. The middle fabric doesn't actually do anything.

at no point should your skull be deforming. Maybe the skin and fat layer ontop but the skull itself should not be deforming after an hour of hearing a device on a healthy individual.

Please see a doctor!!
