SomyonesfromSony, I'lllinkitto a descriptionbelow.
というわけで、ソニーから届いた私のものを、以下に説明文にリンクしておこう。
Youdon't havetogetexactsameone.
全く同じものを手に入れる必要はない。
I foundthisonetobereallyhelpfulbecauseit's lightonmyhead.
これは頭への負担が軽くて本当に助かった。
Andwhenworkingforlet's sayanhourand a halfthetime, itdoesn't actuallyweighonmyheadtomakeithurt.
それに、例えば1時間半働くとしても、頭が痛くなるほどの重さはない。
Soit's justsomething I foundinmyownexperience.
だから、これは僕自身の経験で見つけたことなんだ。
Butfeelfreetofindonethatworksforyou.
でも、自分に合ったものを自由に見つけてください。
