Hi all - I bought these recently as an upgrade to the old (wonderfully fitting) Audio Technica studio mx50 I have. I cannot actually believe how bad the fit is for the W1000Z. It slips and scapes - feels like a couple of lizards crawling around in my head. I have to keep my head perfectly still or the lizards kick off again.

They Sound pretty good - clear, open with a nice amount of kick in the bass, but I just can’t stand them.

That’s my rant. Anyone else experienced a terrible fit?

Lizards crawling?

Is there a secret to this particular set of headphones ?

I loop a rubber band through the holes on the both "wings" so thry don't "spread" too wide and let the ear cups slide down. May have to experiment with the length of the rubber band. Eventually I stole my wife's black scrunchie.

This sounds like a plan. Thanks!

You're gonna steal his wife's black scrunchie too?

They feel amazing for me. Easily the most comfy headband style I have ever used.

As others have said it must depend on head shape. My head is fairly generic shape/width and I wear a large size hat / helmet.
