The bowls a.k.a. L-Cush? If not that then you've got the comfies a.k.a. S-Cush.
The comfies are easier to adjust for but the bowls are a bit more tricky. The design of the bowls restricts the range of movement of the cans to rotate up and down on their little gimbal doo-dad. The yoke and the back of the bowls get in the way and you only get a few degrees of movement. Not enough movement to be able to get proper comfy fit.
Sooo... Bend the headband so the bowls can fit flat around your ears. Follow the directions over at Headphile for "Adjusting Headband for Better Fit of C-Pads" (scroll down to the middle of the page). The same goes for getting proper fit with the bowls and to a lesser extent the comfies. Flatten the top of the headband and bend then in just above the rod holders. Do the adjustment in front of a mirror and you'll see when you have it bent enough. The bowls will fit flush around your ears and have a few degrees of rotation freedom. Ah, comfy. Well as comfy as Grado bowls can be.
The ones that sort of stick out at you pretty sharply.
