Any tips on these headphones?

Dh bought me some wireless Sony headphones for my birthday. They are the over the head ones.

Previously, I’ve been using cheap, wired ear bud ones, but the wires were always getting in my way.

These new headphones were expensive for us at the moment and I was thrilled as I am partially sighted and I know it sounds daft, but wires flapping about just make things harder for me with my field of vision (I couldn’t have wireless earbuds, if I dropped one while out, which I would, ait would be a nightmare finding it).

Anyway, I am really not getting on with them well. I walk the dog a lot so I’ve been using them and because my ears are covered, I can feel/hear my footsteps if you know what I mean. It’s really disorienting not being able to see properly sometimes, and these headphones are just adding another stressful layer to it. It’s like when you hold a shell up to your ear.

I’m gutted. It’s only been 3 days, will I get used to it?
