These headphones sound great, but god almighty are they annoying how they are constantly spinning around and flipping upside-down and twisting and folding.. Are there any mods I can do to these to make them freaking stay in place?

Duct tape? I don't get it, how do you wear your headphones?
I'm talking about when I set them down on my desk, or move them or something.. I am constantly having to reposition the ear cups.. And no, I'm not going to use duct tape. I can't be the only one annoyed by this..

Why do you need to reposition the earcups when they're sitting on your desk? Sounds like OCD to me
