Same here with the boycott, caved and got some NC headphone and they live up to the hype. Said company have always been masters of audio.

Does anyone else get this weird nauseating feeling from NC headphones? It's been a while since I wore some, but the silence felt... loud.

Huh, that's very interesting, thanks!

Not really, but I do get tired of wearing most headphones for prolonger periods... It's also difficult to lay in a pillow to sleep with NC headphones.

Airpods fare a little better, but I'd like something even more improved... if it could somehow let fresh air in and cool my ears a little too, that would be great...

Yes this is a known phenomenon, it's on the rare side but definitely exists. I have it too.
