I think they were referring to “man shaped puddle”, when the picture is more of a puddle shaped puddle.

What would you recommend for plane flights or travel especially, I haven’t tried many noise cancelling headphones but the few I tried for a short test run had this sort of “pressure” when the noise cancelling was on which I found a bit uncomfortable.

I usually use open backs at home since I find the listening experience most comfortable, but obviously that doesn’t work with noise cancelling so I’ve got no clue what’s best.
