Jude, I had the same problem with the elasticity when I had my pair. What I did was unscrew the box on each side of the headband (there should be a screw on the inner side), and then take the cord and double loop it as necessary inside that box. Then I resealed the boxes, and the 'phones or less hung down to a somewhat appropriate distance to my ears.
Of course the problem is you'd have to hope that the headphone fits your head on either the first or 2nd double loop, since you only have so much of the cord to work with.
