i've got big ears too man, i know your pain. I haven't tried every pair out there, but a couple I've noticed that are particularly well suited for large-eared individuals:

(priced low to high)

Audio-Technica ATH-M50
sennheiser pc350
Beyerdynamic MMX 300

it's weird, some headsets can feel fantastic and super comfortable at first, even for an hour or two, but after those marathon sessions - they start to feel 10x pointier than ever. extended use - that's when good headsets are made! lol :D

best of luck man!

Eek, don't buy the crap that imomun suggested.



audioranger made some nice suggestions.

Don't expect good sound and 5.1 together unless you're doing virtual surround for gaming which isn't bad.

These are for gaming I assume, so I will add to the list audio-ranger made:

PC360:

PC363D:

HD650:

HD800(if money really is no object):

There is a lot of headphones from audio-technica, AKG, Sehnnheiser, Grado.

Just pair them with a good sound card(Creative ZX, Titanium HD, or Asus Essence) and you're good for gaming, movies, and music.
