Sorry for your fit problem. I have mine extended to the max, and it just barely fits. My DT250 also barely fit (they are a bit worse actually). Consider HD650 - they have lots of extra adjustment available. Probably stay away from classical AKGs, K272HD is a very tight fit on my head (even after slight modification to improve fit).

OlekThank you. I have decided to return them.

maheeJust in case you have not returned them yet. I have found that size issue is caused by headband curve being optimized for smaller head size, and on large melons like ours it tends to be too straight, making it look weird, making it uncomfortable (one single point of pressure on top of ones head), and robbing us of some extra 'reach', or size. By gently (gently!) bending headband to match curvature of my head I was able to not only make DT880 much more comfortable, but also found that I do not need to expand them nearly as much - dropped from circle 8 (max) to circle 6. Fabulous headphone, by the way. HD650 does not get much use any more.
