Try Sennheiser HD280 or Sony MDR7206. Both easily accomodate a large head. The Sony for accuracy, the Senns for bass.


Or if you really care about sound quality (but not looks): Audio-Technica ATH-M50X


I've got Audio-Technica ATH-A500, I don't think they make them anymore (now its A500X or something, so i can't vouch for that). They look a little weird, but are sturdy as hell and sound plainly amazing (although after years of daily heavy use - connected to PC as exclusive sound source - they might seem to have a little lower sound quality - I'm not really sure)

I've literally stomped on them, run them over with a chair, had the cable go into the chair wheels (repeatedly) and then pull them off my head forcibly when I got up without noticing it. They are still fine.

I did break the audio jack when my headphone DAC fell of the desk and hit jackfirst into the ground (it sometimes doesn't connect properly and has to be wrangled about) :(

Bottomline, to me they are an amazing purchase.
