Reply to comment by LSG4M3R in Headband on the SRH840A’s won’t extend enough to fit my head causing the pads to push up on the bottom of my ears. Is there any way to extend them more than they already can? I really like the sound of these, and would hate to return them. by Dogemaster_420

I see you haven't tried the HD 600 (and others with the same chassis like the 580, 650, etc) headphones. They are a torture device for us mellon heads.

Those old chassis were okay for me. Definitley not the most comfortable one but it sits and stay one my head without any pain

I just bend the headband to accommodate. 2XL helmet size here, they are very comfortable.

That works if you have a smaller/leaner head. For bigger heads nothing helps. I tried bending both the plastic and metal parts, stretched over books and even used a heatgun to melt the headband in an effort to widen it. It didn't help. All this on a second hand HD 600, so it was already "broken-in".

I’ve got a fat head so you must have a damn watermelon. Stock the fit was very uncomfortable, had to bend them out to the point I thought the plastic would break while also bending the metal bands that extend.
