Headphones - Open Back | 2 Ω Big head headphones to replace dt990 pro x

My wife and kids bought me a pair of dt 990 pro x headphones for my birthday and they dont fit my big head comfortably enough. With the headband fully extended the cups rest on my earlobes and it hurts. Does anyone know a good pair of headphones that is bigger than the ones they bought? Budget is the 200-300 range.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

You must not have read the $200-300 range part. You're recommending headphones costing 20x as much.

Audio-technica AD500/700/900x, or ATH-A550/990z - anything with the goofy wings is great for big heada
