Has anyone had any issues with the holder bending the headband over time so that it becomes larger?

I have two of those since summer 2013 and I put my Corsair Vengeance 2000 (wireless with battery, so rather heavy) on them all night and day long (when at work). I placed a ruler and it is still straight. Even with my bare hands I can't bend it. Very strong plastic material!

I can't tell from your question and other people's answers if you are asking if this will itself deform over time or if this will cause the headphone to bend. If you are asking about the latter, answer is now since you would just rest your headphone on top. There's nothing forcing down the headphone to take the shape of the holder. Unless your headphone has an extremely small radius headband that is

Have had no issues like this at all with Sennheiser 558's. It's been very sturdy for the past year or so, and still looks like new with constant use (gets at least 12+ hours of use a day).

No issues with bending. I've had mine for about a year now and it hasn't changed the shape of my headset at all. There is also soft padding on it to prevent scratching of the headset too.

Well My headband on my helmet has about three little slots that kind of lock the band together. If this helps let me know I'm pretty sure youll see what I mean on the back silicone strap.

I never experienced that issue, but as it's plastic I'd expect you can bend it, or return it if it's faulty.

Not that I've noticed. I know that it was an issue with my iPhone 4 case but so far have had no issues with it getting stretched out or rubbery.

I also forgot to say you can remove head band and wash and this will also help it shrink back to original length. I have removed and hand washed mine several times and I just let it air dry.

I don't think with them being constructed the way they are from metal that there is much worry of that. My biggest problem was my having a big head also and I could not wear them long. They can be stretched by putting an object between the cups and letting it spread over time. Also by pointing a hair dryer at the head band this will speed it up. I personally just gave them to my wife because she loved them and bought a pair of Beyerdynamic's.

Melanie, I think my head is rather large too and it is quite adjustable. I don't hurt at all at the end of the long days on the phone at all. I LOVE this head set. I sometimes forget that I have it on.

I used a towel and pliers to tighten it and it's not loose after a few weeks. I haven't had any reception issue that others have had either, but I only tested a few stations to make sure it worked and then I've been listening to satellite radio.

works find. doesn't shift around. You may have to get used to the headband. It can rub a bit but I didn't notice it after a couple weeks.

There are the two upside down U shaped brackets that connect the ear cups to the head strap. The ear cups themselves pivot (up and down) in that U shapped bracket but the bracket only rotates (slightly) at the joint where the bracket meets the headstrap. I would say that there is maybe 30 degress of rotation that the bracket can travel through at that connection point. It's enough to make sure that the cups rest comfortably over the ears and against the side of the head. The point where the braket meets the head strap only rotates itdoes not really pivot. The cups will not fold up into the area beneath the head strap like some more expensive folding headphones. I hope this helps.

I had the original m50 white, and assuming they use pretty much the same material, the pad at the headband will get a bit dirty (discolored) over time. I had mine for a few months now, and it's a little dirty there. I haven't tried to clean it yet since it's not a big deal

There's a knob on the back of the band that expands A LOT! I cannot imagine it would not fit your head.

Good day,I have personally used this product while doing all sorts of exercises including bench press, and I can honestly say that I did not experience any discomfort with the headband. Have fun!

I do. It stretches a bit but it still works for me. I try to get a new one once a year or when I move.

I have one and its a little off. It might be that its not stretched enough, but i'm constantly pulling the cover to stretch it. I still havent found anything that is better.

I haven't had any problems with mine, it does slightly bend with more pressure but it does fine for me.

extremely flexible band should be no problem. The entire unit seems to adjust based on the location of the ear pads
