Do the ear pads press against the ears, or do they hang next to the ears? Will these work for someone with a large head?

they worked well for me but I'm a quadriplegic. My grandson began to use them when he plays on the Internet and the right ear pad cover came off. This is precisely why bought this better headset. The cheaper headsets pad covers would fall off within days. The ear pads on this headset lasted almost 2 months. It's my grandson. I would recommend this set only if you don't rub up to hard on the pads. You get what you pay for. One last thing the sound on this set of earphones is pretty good for the price.

Will not fit mine. I'm 6'3" and it doesn't reach the front of my mouth. Can't say I have a big head for my size. Remember, you get what you pay for.

Yes they sit around ear, don't really touch your ears unless you have gigantic elf like ears. Also I would make sure to buy the ones with Bluetooth, not much more and it has controls on the headset.

My ear pad cushions have reached their end and to avoid paying around $30, I checked out some similar ear pads on amazon. I bought these (http://amzn.com/B00B1YWIZ4) and they fit the frame fine. They aren't exactly the same size, but they fit close enough. The foam is a bit stiffer, but I haven't noticed any significant differences. You might also try these (http://amzn.com/B00B6Z9BN0) though they don't have fabric across the ear hole. As J. Lin commented, a 7cm diameter seems to be close enough.

These ones will, no problem! If you look at the picture of them, note the little, curved "horns" on top. These are adjustable and fit into the grooves right above your ear canal. They are soft, but can be annoying if you have sensitive ears. I wear mine hiking, biking, power walking and they have never once fell out. They sound pretty damn good too!

They cover completely, with the (plush, comfy) pads on your head, not your ears. I've worn them for around six hours at a stretch with no discomfort.

I think my ears are average. They fit over my ears very comcomfortably. I think the headphones still have some room. The pads are not pressing on my ears.

I find they generally stay on my head when being bounced around, if you put them on right. I would probably pick earbuds over them if you're worried about them slipping off, though.

Nope. They have an earpiece that goes behind your ear and this holds them in place.

They are adjustable. I wouldn't think so. I put my kids headphones on my head to see how they fit and was fine.... and I'm 41 with a big head.

Depends. These have a strong spring. My problem with them is the pressure points are forward which causes the actual headphones to slip and/or roll forward. You are constantly adjusting them. They are impossible to lie down with them on. On the positive, they sound amazing and they do very well at blocking out the noise. The lambskin ear pads are comfortable. I chose these because they did not go over the ear.

Have not seen larger pads. The pressure does not bother me, but if it did I would take the headset into a music shop that sells instruments and listening tools to musicians and perhaps they have a way to reduce the tension in the headband. My guess is someone would have to deftly bend it beyond its springback memory tensile force yet not so far that it takes a permanent set and loses all clamping force. My guess is that this is done for musicians who use headsets all day long.

They might. I have a fairly normal head and they are not all the way compacted. Also, they fit together when opened such that the headphones are touching which means that they will cup against your ears no matter how small your head is. They actually have to be stretched to be put on by anyone.

The pads press on the front of the ear and do not go completely over the ear.

They are adjustable. I think some people just can't figure out HOW to adjust them. The wire's don't slide in the top band, but down by the earpieces. It fit my normal-sized adult head and there was still room to pull it out, so I think it would fit a head bigger than mine. Hope this helps!

I believe these would be comfortable for someone with a bigger sized head because have great long cushion on the ears and it stretches pretty good.

I have small ears and when I saw the size of these I thought they would simply be too big and I would have to remove them. The large pads fit over my ears which is really surprisingly comfortable so it's like my ears sit inside them? I've been using these for over 8.5 hours a day working and never once have they gotten uncomfortable or itchy like a pair I have that sits on my ears nor have the gotten sweaty (FL heat). They look large and are highly adjustable but even at no headband adjustment that are snug and have never slipped off. For me, this is prob the most comfortable headset I've used besides my Sony MDR-V6 headphones (too different functions and price points though of course!)

Hi Harold, I've never done anything really strenuous with the headphones on. I wear a size 7 1/2 size hat and they are snug, but not to tight. Hope that helps.
