Anyone else have this problem?

For some reason, all of the earphones that came with the Sony MP3 players that I bought hurts my ears. They sound great, but after about 20 minutes, they get extreamly sour. I use any non-sony earphone that I bought seperately, my ears are fine. I can't do this with the NW-s705 though... I love the earphones, but they also hurt. Anyone know the reason?

When you say, "hurt", I'm assuming you don't mean physical pain? (I'm assuming that due to the fact that the 705's headphones aren't physically shaped like anything close to those of the previous models, and happen to be soft...)

Going by that assumption, did you try toying with the ear piece sizes or equalizer settings, perhaps?

(its a long shot, but maybe Sony's headphones are putting something through that the others aren't, but that may be adjusted...)

Actually no matter what equalizer setting I choose or what piece size I choose this happens. I am sure that this is happening because of the way sound is produced in the earphones. When I say hurt, I mean a very uncomfortable sensation around the eardrumps, and yes, alot of pain around there. It seems you don't have that problem. Maybe it's my ears. This has happened to me in Many different sony earphones that came with the mp3 players before.

hmm I would make a visit to the doctor, this shouldn't happen with eardrums when listening to music.

have you tried different headphones like the larger ones that go on the ears not inside? if you have and the problem is the same, I recommend talking to a doctor.

Yes, and the funny thing is. As I said, every earphone and headphone (the large ones) that I used so far (Pannasonic, Bose, Koss, Philips, and Sony that you had to buy seperately and did not come with the Mp3 players) had no problem. Only the Sony earphone that was supplied with the Mp3 players had this problem, so I thought it could be a product problem.
