This will actually bend the strong metal headband a bit. For lasting effect, you can stretch them up to 180° for about 30 seconds. Stretching your headphones over books for a few nights, or hoping they will stretch out naturally does not seem to really work. Wider space between ear cups in resting state. And the new default headband width shows why. That clacking sound always felt like it would ruin the aluminum over time.Ĭonclusion: This works. They still fit just fine in the case and go back to my wider resting state.Įxtra benefit: the aluminum ear cups don't hit each other all the time when you take them off your head. I also noticed the resting state of the headphones is now wider. I found the perfect balance between 'clamping' and any pressure on the top of my head. I can now wear these comfortably for multiple hours. Stretch up to 180 degrees for 30-60 seconds. And go back into shape.Ĭonclusion: Super-stretching actually works! Every time I put them on my head and felt like they needed to be a bit softer I just overstretched them a bit. Even a little bit overstretched up to 190°. I super-stretched them for 30-60 seconds. Let's just see how far I can stretch these things to have a more lasting effect. What would I do if I didn't care about the result? Ok, this is strong metal. Hidden outside ridge in cushions transferring most pressure STAGE 5: Last resort There might be better 3rd party cushions at some point. And not necessarily solve the problem.Ĭonclusion: Not going to hack the cushions myself. But until there are 3rd party cushions that have better force distribution, doing it myself would probably look very ugly. I was about to buy another set of cushions just to cut them open and see if I could hack them. It appears there is an outer ridge inside the cushions that pushes through and doesn't distribute the force as well as most other cushioned headphones. I figured the cushioning on the AirPods max was not very thick. Was it the clamping, or was it perhaps the ear cup position? None of them ever hurt me as much as the AirPods Max. I had Sennheisers, Beats Solo wireless and Beats 3 Studio wireless before. STAGE 4: Trying to understand why they hurt 'Gently' stretching it over night on a basketball. Nothing really changed.Ĭonclusion: Carefully stretching does not have a lasting effect. I saw threads of people putting them over books. I was afraid I would ruin them or stretch them too far. Guess I’ll have to stretch them out as well.Īpple The Netherlands diagnostics: 'The mechanical parts function as expected' STAGE 3: Carefully stretching them Let's hope they can improve the fit in newer generations.Ĭonclusion: The tightness is in the specs. (Never had similar issues with any other on-ear or over-ear headphones). I did not expect anything from the investigation other than giving Apple a feedback signal that me and others experience pain when wearing these. They checked hardware and software and sound quality. After being sent to the local Apple Store they did not think anything was wrong with them but after a brief discussion we agreed to have them sent to the depot for inspection. I contacted Apple Support through chat, they suggested mail in. Because this is a first generation product I also wondered if the clamping force on mine was out of spec. I was afraid to ruin them by putting them over a wide object. But it was just too painful.Ĭonclusion: These are really uncomfortable even after 1 month, and give me headache. But expensive headphones like this creating a headache doesn't make sense. Ease of use connecting them to my MacBook Pro and iPhones is great. Day 30: 'Starting to get an actual headache after wearing these multiple days in a row for a few hours a day'.Īfter one month I felt I had to do something about it.There are quite some threads all over the internet about the clamping force of these new AirPods Max.
