    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.

    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 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 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!

    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

    Should i put the headphones on books and put a heat on it?

    • @odysseyofcuriosity
      @odysseyofcuriosity  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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!

      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.😂😂

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.

    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.

    • @odysseyofcuriosity
      @odysseyofcuriosity  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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!
