Is your HD650, HD600, or HD580 comfortable, uncomfortable, or fractured?
Please first read this post. You can vote for more than one option since you may have owned more than one.
I lump these models together because their fit is similar and each can be properly adjusted in the same way.

Do not bend or torque the non-metal part of the headband, the part that goes over your head. Doing so unnecessarily stresses it, which can result in an immediate or eventual fracture.
Properly adjust your HD650, HD600, or HD580. Immediately customize its comfort, prevent premature degradation of the ear pads, and minimize the chance of fracturing the non-metal part of the headband. The metal part of the headband that extends between the ear cups and plastic part of the headband is designed to be adjusted. It is very sturdy metal, and it bends. I only recommend doing this if you understand the following procedure.
The Procedure:
Fully extend the headband so no more of the metal part of the headband can be exposed. Grasp one ear cup with one hand and the plastic part of the headband with the other right where the metal part starts to go into the plastic part. To clarify, grasp plastic directly on each end of the metal band, and put your thumbs on the metal band for leverage. Then bend it until the metal band is straight or slightly bent backwards, hold for 3 seconds, repeat X times. Repeat X times with the other side. Repeat until the headphones are as loose as you want. This also can be done to tighten the grip of these headphones. Just bend the metal band in the same manner but in the opposite direction.
