I've head quite a couple pair of headphones before, but none of them suit me. I have huge ass ears, so when i put on normal headphones for more than half an hour my ears start hurting alot. Any headphone recommendations for someone like me with big ass ears? I want them to have good sound quality too, and mic is not required as i have an external mic. Looking for under 100$.

sennheiser hd280 (neutral sound, removeable cable, closed headphones) - $100
Fostex T50RP (not much base, but don't expect a high sound spectrum at that budget, also closed headphones) - $100
Sennheiser HD518 (ok sound, removeable cable, open headphones) - $60

if you have a problem with glasses you might as well get IBMs or on-ear headphones (all of the above are over-ear)
Audio-Technica ATH-WS55 - $80
AKG Q460 - $100
AKG K619 - $90

don't know much about these but maybe you'll find an audio-technica in a local store and try it out

So I'm gonna give you a suggestion for each type of earphones.

Earbuds - VE Monk Plus , about 12$ - Absolutely sick soundstage and musicality, might lack bass if all you listen to is wub wubz

In Ears - Xiaomi Piston 3 or KZ ATE - Go for the first if you need a more balanced sound, latter if you prefer a warmer tonality to your sound.

Open headphones - HD518 or HD558 (the latter usually have promotions that drop them to 99$) HD518 is basically an HD558 with more bass (less refined tho)

Closed Headphones - Takstar Pro 80 - Basically where the HyperX's get all their fame from, and you can get them for about 50$ on ali-express.

Pick one then add on a clip mic of your choosing (I use one that cost me about 3$ from ebay), you should be set :)

M4ngoLoh yeah thanks for reminding me tr1p i do have glasses and headphones fuck my glasses up. i do have a mic.

if you have a mic the good thing is : you can pick up any earbuds, doesn't matter if they got a mic or not

i love bass when i listen to music (trap, deep house/bass house, etc) but in videogames, too much bass aint good
sennheiser cx300 II or cx300 II enhanced bass are good, depending on what you want

razer hammerheads are good, and they have a very nice sound, music and gaming
