Focal Bathys Too Small (alien.top)

Is there any way to make the Bathys larger? I have both arms extended as far as they will go, but I'm still feeling a lot of pressure at lower end of my ears. It feels like the cup isn't centered on my ears and isn't very comfortable. If I could get 1 more "click" on each side I think they would fit OK.

They sound great so I'm really hoping to find a way to adjust them larger, if not I am going to have to return them. I am coming from a old pair of Bose QC 35IIs. With those, I can put them on and forget that they are on. With the Bathys, I am constantly reminded that there is something that just doesn't fit.

They definitely could've made them a bit longer, I feel more pressure on my head than with my Sony XM4s, but I guess the only thing you can do is get used to it. If yours feel really uncomfortable, then you should probably switch to a different model, B&W PX7 S2e/PX8 are super comfortable, I tried them both
