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?

The ear pads press against the ears. The headset goes around the back of the head. If you have a large head, it might be uncomfortable due to the stretch.

The band rests on top of the ears and there is enough pressure to keep the pads pressed against the ears, with probably more pressure for bigger heads. I use these daily for work for video conferencing and love them.

It is great hang next to the ears and for someone with a large head it is ok.

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!

Hi Bojan. These headphones are supra-aural, not circum-aural. That means that the earpads press against the ears instead of around them, so size shouldn't be a problem.I hope that helps! :D

About 1.5" across and 1.75" down. If you have big ears then they will sit on the pads. Most people have slightly larger than that.

They are a bit big for a smaller head. I have a big head myself but lucky adjusted them to fit. Some of my friends who had smaller heads, The headphones fitted just fine.

The pads swivel slightly. Whether they are comfortable, I guess, depends upon your head. For me, they press too hard on the tops of my ears and too lightly at the bottoms just wher one needs the pressure for a good acoustical seal. I tried these and another brand of similar design, but the only ones that were comfortable and, to me, had easier to use controls, look more like conventional earphones (MEElectronics Runaway). It's easy to "find" the controls while wearing them, and the earpieces pivot more freely. They are the only ones I use now.

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 are pretty loose on your ears so I would say no. Depending on the helmet strap you might be able to keep them in place, but I would probably check out more secure headphones for use with any physical activities.

They stay in place while running. In my case they go over my ears, but i think this depends on your ears size.

Hmm...well the 'headband' really does not go on your head as more traditional headphones might. It really rides on the neck. Or at least that's how I use them. So in other words, the ear pieces hang from your ears, with the large curved part riding on your neck. Hope that makes sense. This is the best example I could find no short notice - http://reviews.mtbr.com/review-qak-thump-blu-headphones/thump_blu_wearing

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!)

It depends on the helmet, but if muffling noise inside the helmet is a concern, then I would tend to assume that the helmet padding does not apply any pressure over the ears, so these should work. If the helmet padding presses on your ears it may push uncomfortably against the earplugs, but then it would also muffle noise on its own.

for me, they sit on the earlobes, but otherwise cover the ear completely. fortunately, the headset sitting on the lobe is not uncomfortable at all, i sometime wear them 3-4 hours and its totally ok.

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.

Not sure if my ears are bigger than most, but the pads do rest on parts of my ears. However, the foam they are made of is stupidly comfortable and I find I can wear them even longer than most headphones where the pads clear the ears entirely. They also do a good job of keeping the harder internal parts on the unit from resting on your ears, which is normally the things that makes headphones uncomfortable for me after a time.

I am not sure if they will fit someone with a really big head. They are adjustable. I am sorry I can't be of more help.

Yes, I bought them and my only complaint was that they were very very tight between the earmuffs. I don't, however, have a particularly small head for a woman. They are also adjustable as far as the distance between the crown of the head and ears are concerned.
