Big Headphones

sja360 · 20 Jan 2007 at 02:10

i wont go into detail but my ears stick out abit, so i need big headphones. i've seen some creative ones - Creative Headphones HN-700 that also block out background noise (handy so i can actually say to mum, "i didnt hear you

")
so basically what do you guys recommend? or not recommend?
like i say i'd like a nice comfy pair, that blocks out background noise and the budget ideally around £30.

If your after larger headphones then for £30 nothing will beat the Sony MDR-V300's,

Dynamic Type YES
Closed Type YES

Driver unit (mm) 30.0
Diaphragm PET
Frequency (Hz) 16 - 22,000
Sensitivity (dB/mW) 100.0

Volume control NO

I've used hundreds of headphones and there are three budget cans that truly exceed their price tag,

Koss Porta Pro's

Sony MDR-V300's

Sennheiser px100

I was going to recommend Sennheiser. I have a set of HDR-85 cans, the old wireless model and the ear pieces are nice and big, v.comfy too. But cost a bit more than £30 unfortuntaly.

Here's two pics. (Excuse the dust on the second pic, black is hard to keep clean.)

Good if you have big ears.
