Large headphones

[NannerBeans]

Hey, are there any large headphones. Been using my new DT770 for a bit and the clamping pressure is just too much.  I have a big head and I have the headphones set at the longest it can go and it's still not comfortable. I'm looking for any options either open or closed under about $200. On M50s, I can use it on the 2nd largest setting and have it comfortable.

Wait until your DT770s are broken in

You could get a large manikin head.  Put it on that when you sleep.

I've been trying to stretch it a bit but it doesn't seem to be taking shape. What's your method?

2 thumbs pressing the very middle of the headband and crank the earcups back making the 'W' shape

 

edit: keep an eye on the fatigue point of the metal.

Any success, NB?

I think a bit. It doesn't feel painful anymore and just a bit annoying. I'm sure they'll loosen up over time.

Are the cups pinching your ears or just too much pressure?

What I did/do for tight fitting headphones is stretch them out with a bar clamp. Has yet to fail me.

It was actually hurting my cheek bone because of the pressure. But I stretched it by leaving it on my case for a bit and it's much better now.

Unfortunately I do not have any bar clamps. There's not much room in dorm rooms for tools.
