Slippery Headbands and headphones that fall off (feddit.de)

Have you guys ever had the problem of slippery headbands or "unstable" headphones?

I have a rather big head (hat size 62 EU) and don't like headphones with super strong clamping forces. Apparently these two factors make headphones quite prone to moving on my head and even slipping straight off.

Headphones with rubberized or "not so slick" headbands tend to stay quite well, however headbands made of nylon or similar materials don't do such a great job.

It's not a problem as long as I don't move my head, but some movements like bending over are guaranteed "slip offs".

Do you run into these problems? If so, what's your solution? Do you glue the drivers straight to your ears?
