alternatively you can adjust the shape of your head
Haha 😂😂
Even if my head was like a hamster's head it would be tight
g335😂
I'm working on it. For years. 😉
You just saved me so much time!
@@msStoDwa Just let the air out (duh) 😂
It feels like my skull is being deformed every hour that I wear these headsets
It's crazy they are making those like they really are for torturing people instead of comfort.
I don't know why but this video gave me the confidence to say "screw it" and I just bend them with my hands. They feel SO much more comfortable now. Before they made my brain feel like it was going to explode. Thanks for the video man.
How long did you stretch em for?
dont force them. leave them stretched with the books and use a hair dryer to warm the materials so they expand. no forcing necessary.
i was almost disappointed with my purchase but bending the metal thing did the trick. now i can enjoy my new headphones! thank you so much
I bought my first headphone after 7 years. The newer one has a metal band, and it hurts my ears so much. I thought I'd get my ears get used to the pain but after a month of using the pain, but it didn't. Then I came by this video by accident, I didnot look up or anything, and I tried out your method. Thank you so much, it works wonderfully!
I actually made the sliding clamp longer, so the BOTTOM of my ears fit into the headset. It's actually a lot more comfortable, now that my ear bottoms are inside the circular pocket. The bottoms of my ears are what hurt, so I think that was my issue.
I can’t believe I didn’t think of using books or something along those lines. U earned a subscriber. I put my headphones on my tower, let’s see if it works lol
does it work right now?
@Blue does it take maybe 3-7 days or more?
I don't understand how you are a small channel. You deserve way more subscribers for the quality of the content you create!
Thank you very much for the kind words. Hope you will enjoy the following videos, as well!
“This happens more when you have a smaller head”
*Me thinking I just have a big ass head for all my life* 😮
i was literally referring to my headphones as a medieval torture device
oh. my. god. THANKS. my headphones have an awesome noise cancel but they were giving me headaches and even causing problems with my jaw. I'M FREE NOW, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH.
Glad I could help!
what headphones are they?
I also have problems with my jaw and cheeks and I suspect it's because of the Sennheiser M4, I will try to stretch them
I hope you did make a second video for adding comfort to the ear covers. I need sound isolation but the headset is mashing my brains. Your video has given me hope. I am going to try the books first. Thanks so much!
Having a very small head with big ears AND glasses is like headphone hell. Open backs are the way for me, the DT 700 hurts like hell with that 1.3 lbs clamp force it's horrible
Wishing you well, you are great at making digestible content
Thank you!! The books were so clever it worked like a charm!!!
Obvious advice for any metal headband but what about plastic ones. Like i e. Jbl that are so tight that I can hear my heartbeat, blood flowing in the veins, an every step I take. Yes the easiest way to fix it I to change headphes to Audio Technica series M or S and You receive great comfort and sound but... I still have JBL live 660NC
Yea I just bought jbl. What a regret!
@@RebeccaKwanga Honestly I stretched them and it works. I'm using them when I work with electric tools and Is very loud. Noise Canceling works enough. Ear pads are too small for me and is interesting why most companies are making them smaller than years ago. Again Audio Technica is more comfortable. If You bough them via internet You can return them.
Even if my head was like a hamster's head it would be tight😂
G335,I bought it because they praised its comfort. I did not expect it to be like this. I cannot stand wearing the headset for more than 30 minutes.
Did it work for you ?
@@Dark_Souls8907
When I leave it for a few hours, immersed in books or anything, it becomes comfortable, but with time the energy of attraction returns, and I do not know where it comes from. Perhaps nuclear energy can be generated from this headphone.😂😂
pssh, the book fix didn't even take half the day. I was fully expecting to take the predicted ten days you mentioned. thanks a lot for the fix!
Glad it helped! Enjoy your headphones!
actually a really under-rated video all tips worked well, thanks
I'm not watchin full yet but mannn you got my problem, i try searching on audio forum but no answer to this problem
edit: damn it really work for my m40x
Thank you for the idea, im gonna try to stretch mine around the side of a guitar case
Mine is plastic...
Should i put the headphones on books and put a heat on it?
Only if you are very very careful not to heat them up too much. If for example you are using a heat gun, depending on the type of plastic, there is a very fine line between just the right amount of heat to stretch the plastic and way to much heat that will damage the headband forever. I would try it out without heat (just the books) first. Hope this helps!
My brother got me really fancy headphones 4 years ago and I haven’t been using them bcs after 15minutes I get a headache my friend who has the same ones uses them but also struggles with them being extremely uncomfortable. I’m hoping this will help bcs I really like them I just never use them when I’m going places since I like to have headphones on the whole train ride and they are unbearable.
Changed the earpads on my xm3s and they got super clampy so i will do some of these tips and tricks tnx!
How do you make them clamp more ?
Film adaptations? /s
اشتريت السماعه وكل شي فيها رهيب الا انها تضغط على راسي وفكي، قاعده اجرب الحين حركه الكتب وعساها تضبط، لاني صدق ما اودي ارجعها
حتي أنا اشتريت سماعة اليوم و مرة تعور اذنائ. ما حصلت علي حل
@@SalmanMzai اذا ماضبط معاك شي انصحك ترجعها👍🏻 السماعات اللي زي كذا تسبب ضرر على المدى الطويل
@@Anel1418
أجل لم اجد حل لها، فاسترجعتها و اتيت بسماعات جديدة و هي جدا مريحة و رخيصة.

هل بقت مريحه بعد استخدام الكتب؟
my jaw and cheeks hurt me too, I have Sennheiser Momentum 4, I didn't try to stretch them yet
just get a b&w Px7 , as you said a small head should feel more clamp …and I’m wondering if I can stretch my headphones on something wider. And I got the answer from video. Let’s see the magic after several days . (Subscribe from taiwan
I have had success with plastic band headphones by stretching them with whatever works then putting them in the oven on low heat. Be careful not to over stretch. The book stretch did not work for me.
I'm glad this worked out well for you, James! A safer way could be to use a heat gun and only apply heat to the headband - to avoid damaging the ear cups/pads/solder joints.
@@odysseyofcuriosity Could a hair dryer work?
@@Turtletoots3 yesss
What if we stretched them for too long ?
bro this helped me thanks from india😳☺☺
Happy to hear that ❤️ Enjoy your headphones!
What about the opposite issue? My headphones loosened up too much.
Same..
The only problem I have is that I wear glasses and my headset is too tight on one ear, causing me to have an indent from my glasses
can u make a video on installling mics on studio headphones like the ones u have. Thanks!
Sounds fun, will do!
@@odysseyofcuriosity 🤞🏽
Thanks man
Best video on this topic here
Now it feels kinda loose, but I like it😂👍
after how long? i did 2 days and its still the same, ty
is this still applicable for self adjusting headphones like the samson sr850 or is it just a slower process?
My headset is so tight it actually caused jaw problems and teeth sensibility :( I will give this a try!
Damn wish you the best
@@Sensei_here Thank you! I ended up returning the headseat
Any advice with the Arctis 9X? Tried to bend them from the middle with the thumbs thing but the metal is like really heavy duty so it doesn’t do much. I been hearing reports of them breaking near the swivel so was nervous to try too much stuff.
I got same problem. Doesnt seem to bend much, did you manage to find a way to fix this it?
So funny, having the same issues w/ my 9Xs
Same here. Just got my Arctis 9xs earlier today and already I’m feeling the clamping issues on them
I have beoplay h95 and the clamping is too tight. did everything, but can't fix the problem.
Trick 1 is working for me
Another thing i didn't got the link in the description for the headpad..
Going to try these with my pulse headset, which are tight like a mofo
Did it work? Same problem here
i just got the G935 and i feel like ill pop hopefully this works
Thank you ❤
i really really hope this works because otherwise i have big problem
Thank you sir
what headphn do u use??
Can you please make video how to clamp headphones?
Have you found a solution i have the same problem
can i get the link ot headband cushion
I don't
Where?
Thank you Misha Collins.
Bought some ear defenders they fit a little to small hope this helps
What if u don't have books?
Try using an appropriately sized box (save those shipment boxes, shoe boxes, or use the box the headphones came in).
He meant it as a joke
Are you sure it was meant it as a joke, in more recent times there are, it seems, rapidly increasing numbers of doltish people demonstrating anencephalous symptoms. 😉
Does it work with razer kraken x ?
Should work with them, yup.
Will this procedure work with behind the neck headphones?
I would be extra careful with them, since they're probably fully plastic, but it should work fine👍
ive been using Sony cheap heaadphones for over 10 years. They were perfect, not toot tight, not too big, to cause discomfort on glasses wearing people, the sound quality was perfect.
Unfortunately one of the cable got damaged because of my actions.. Bought a proper gaming headphone next, brand name Corsair..
God it horrible.. The sound quality is horrible, (like you are in a cave), the headphone are so tight, its so uncomfortable.. i have to re-adjust them every few minutes..
The only positive point is that you can directly adjust the volume through a volume control boutton on the headphone..
Then I bought a more expensive gaming headset.. Same problems..etc
I will never waste money on that crap again.. Just get a normal standard Sony headphone. It's cheaper and FAR better.
Yeah, many "gaming" headsets are more focused on the "cool" factor/appearance/RGB than on comfort/sound quality. There are of course exceptions, but you seem to have had back luck with your pair. Hopefully more manufacturers will get their priorities right in the future!
Can you make a video how to make headphones more clampy because mine are too loose
Have u found anything to fix it i got the same problem
Thank you so much
How do you tighten them because there that loose that if feels its falling of my head
Easiest way - get thicker pads for them. They might change the sound a bit, but should make them fit better.
Bro it's too late the band snapped but I was able to mend it's better now but thanks for the help
My headphones are to short for me
Thank you
underrated tho
put them around a pc instead of books for ease :)
Skullcandy crushers for me!
That's exactly what I trying to stretch right now lol
thanks buddy
My ears are like a elf’s head shaped like a ape it’s hard to get my ears to get in the lining and squish’s my ears
Lmao a sponge and some zip ties 😅
I will try this just got hyperx ps4 cloud and my ear hurt after 10 minutes
Since they are new, you should probably also give them a couple of days to break in and get conformed to your head shape. Good luck!
all my friends with Sennheiser M4 are here or not??? 😢
I don't even want a good seal, I just don't want a migraine from using a headset. Ugh
I did same with a 15 CM ruler 😅
Stick to the books, literally. Haha
Kinda look like Minecraft Steve
