Comfortable headphones for small head

My previous headphones were razer kraken kitty v2 because they were cute fundamentally but they were also incredibly comfortable for me over extended periods of time. I have a small head and tiny ears and they fit me extremely well. I am a software developer and I work from home so having comfortable headphones really matters. The downside of course is that they broke way too quickly. The cable bent weirdly and seemed to start turning green before the headphones just gave up.

At the moment, I'm using my Airpods Max which I use as my outdoor headphones for wandering around listening to music or while traveling. I find them great for that, because they have good sound quality and great noise cancellation if I'm trying to sleep on a train or something, but they are SO uncomfortable for long periods while working for me. I find them oddly heavy and because of the size of my head, even at their smallest the bottom of the ear cups sort of dig into my jaw. I can deal with it for short periods, but longer ones it's just too much.

I do also game in my spare time after work so we are talking about upwards of 14 hours of use a day which is significantly painful for me at the moment with my current ones.

Budget-wise, because this is for every day use I'm willing to spend a bit for something which is actually comfortable and good quality that will last. I'd rather spend more and have them be a long term use thing than spend less and have to replace them immediately. As you can probably tell from my previous set, cute is definitely a big bonus, my entire setup is pink and girly, I am pink and girly and I do enjoy a nice aesthetic.
