whats the best way to break in and stretch Kingston HyperX cloud headset?

[Zohan2000]

so i finally got myself a new headset and got the Kingston HyperX Cloud headset and love the sound so far, but is there like a break in period till you can really get the full potential from them? and is there also a way to stretch the head band a bit? cause its a little tight and not too great

General use is probs your safest bet.

I have the headphones the Cloud is based on and I've noticed with general wear that it stops feeling stiff over time.

Put a diverse music playlist on repeat overnight and leave it playing for some many hours.

might find a box and put the headset around it to stretch it a bit while leaving music playing overnight, thanks for the fast replies

The headband is steel, I just bent mine straight until it feels good. Best to hold the headband itself and not the earcups so as not to stress the points where the yokes meet the band.

You can put it around your case overnight.

is it normal for the sound to sorta jump into each direction instead of flowing into each direction

Zero idea what you're trying to say.

the surround sound, it like jumps into each direction as in, left to middle to right instead of a smooth flowing motion

happens while playing games

For burn-in, just play them at your normal loudness, let them play for a full day or just let them continue playing when you're not using them

That might be because it's a closed headphone rather than an open. It also depends on what game it is since some games have better surround than others.

happens when playing World of Warcraft (yes, surround sound isnt important on the game but still) and on Battlefield 4

Or just use them as normal like a normal person.

Take it and "throw it on ground!" just like the lonely island lyrics suggest in their much heeded wisdom.
