Extend the cups down, then bend the exposed interior metal of the headband itself. Really the only way to make it permanent. They will be harder to adjust afterwards, though.
Does it count as burn-in if it reverses afterwords? They're tightening up again. I wonder what kind of magic self healing polymer that headband is made out of. You could probably make car body panels with it or something.I think even the lowest setting on heat gun will be too much. Time to borrow a hair drier...
Have you tried heating the headband before?I stretched it out again, hit it with a hair drier for about 5 minutes, let it cool down for another 30, and it's holding far better than than just stretching for half an hour would. I'll have to give it another few days and see what happens.
Or you could just bend the metal in less than a minute and be done with it forever and ever. Your method might fit better though.
Don't try anything you might regret. The high pressure is part of the design for the best possible bass and transducer's damping.Just don't keep changing their position on your head. It's the skin irritation from the frequent position changes that annoys you most.
