Making your headphones less tight can be a game-changer for comfort. Here's a trick I often use: stretch the headphone band gently over a stack of books or a box that's slightly wider than your head. Leave it overnight. This should loosen them up a bit. However, proceed with caution; you don't want to overstretch and damage them. You'll find more tips on this in the "Adjustability and Comfort" section of the article.
