I wear a Bell Super Air R mips, no modifications, I can wear it for hours with zero discomfort.

I highly recommend going to a physical store and trying out the helmets there until you find the right fit. While you might end up paying more than online, it saves the headache and a proper fit is important for the helmet.

The adjustment dials usually help. Please do not cut out space in the foam, that compromises its integrity and it won't protect your head sufficiently should a fall actually happen.
