So yeah, I've been told I'd need a parachute for a wave cap, a rake for a comb etc etc, so I really need a pair of quality headphones for a large headed individual (it's not supersized, and I'm blessed because I've got a pretty big frame so it looks really proportional to my body, but 7 7/8 is a problem. Anyone else have a big head and a good pair of headphones that work for ya. Thanks
Ok, after measuring about 61 cm:eek:, I use the xone xd53, Nice headphone big. Only disadvantage Wearing it for hours it gives some pressure to the ears. Before i had the akg 181 dj headphone, Fits nicely too, good sound, but break very easily and the headphone wire is not that solid to. Wouldn't recommend it.
Well, anyhow good luck with the search.

You could try looking at the HDJ 2000's, I heard that they arent to small, and I've heard the the TMA 1's have quite a loose fit so either one might just work for you.
You know, I'm in the same boat as you.
My buddy has the Xone: 53's. And he complains about them being large. For me though? They fit fine.
I was pretty well set on a pair of HD 25-1 II's, but then I was reading reviews about how they fit "snug" on people with smaller skulls.
So honestly as Christmas is nearing, and my wife already said she'd get me a pair of headphones... I'm looking at the AIAIAI's. They are supposedly a bit larger, and stylish to boot.
I got the same thing regarding headsize. Already got a headache from wearing the HD25 for no longer than 5 minutes.
I am going to try the Pioneer HDJ500s next week. Hoping these will do the trick better.
I'm the other way around. Ultrasone's are a bit to big for me. Really should try the HD25's I guess.
I've got a decent sized head, 7 1/2 - 5/8, depending on how much hair I have on my head at the time and the HD-25s are too small for me, they kill my ears which in turn gives me a headache. My buddy ordered a pair of TMA-1s a few weeks ago and I got to try them a few nights ago; well, as soon as I got home I logged onto djtt and bought them, they sound really good to me and they fit my head, plus they look and feel awesome.

I would say there's another hat size or two smaller than my head (hat size is the easiest way for me to relate other people's head size) where the TMAs will still work. Otherwise, I would stick with the HD-25s. The only reason I bought the TMAs was because the HD-25s were too small otherwise they're very similar besides the price, which is what was making me want the HDs.
And it's not what the sig says it's how you use it:D And the money just sort've worked it's self out. I quit smoking cigs and saved the money for the MBP and then sold my old macbook, beats by dre studios and my old live 7 license (parents paid for my suite 8 license because it was was part of my "books" for classes, lame, I know haha) to pay for the s4 and headphones.Quote:

my head is like.. 60cm (my cap 7 1/2, it's too tight but i can't wear it)
my budget isn't very exact yet.... i'd say max 100 euros, so sadly, no AIAIAI (i should have buy it this weekend on djtt...).
what could be cool for me? I'm gonna begin djing, at home, i think with VCI-100.
I'll use it in parties too.
Which headphones can be cool for me?
BeyerDynamic DT770 fits my domus major perfectly
BeyerDynamic is still one of the better cans for production indeed!
I have a massive head. I use a pair of Zone's, and they're great. Maybe even "too big" in some ways... but I'm used to headphones being too small. :D
SONY MDR series is pretty big.
The Technics RP-DH1200's have a large adjustable range... when i use them, there fully to the minimum of the adjust range... and i dont have a particularly small head or anything... One of my melon-headed mates has used them aswel and straight after using them, asked me where i bought them and he went and bought himself a pair... Plus there exellent on the Bass and Mids... Great sound isolation, and work awesome in high noise environments (clubs-duh :P) Wouldnt reccomend them for production monitoring as they are a bit heavy on the bass in that regard and the mids and hi's arent as clear as proper production headphones such as the AKG-K240s, but AWESOME for DJing and Beatmatching...
Highly reccomend them for big headed (and normal sized head) people... Dunno about people with pea sized heads... probably wouldnt go too well
PS... plus the Technics look sexxy azzzzzzzzzz.... mmmmm....
I'll 2nd the Sony MDRVs

Insert nice cans joke here :)
only if she came with them...
which is the first price for quite good heaphones for beginner like me?
do you have any idea? what would you buy for max 100 euros?
SRH750DJ could be nice?
These?
mmmh maybe those one, ore the sony on the other picture ;)
so... i look on the internet, about good headphones... around 100euros
i saw
-Allen & health XD40 & XD53 -> XD 53 may be too expensive.
-Pioneer Hdj-5000, or maybe other pioneers?
-Shure SRH-750 DJ is on my budget in france, but maybe a lil bit too tight?
-beyerdynamics 770 pro.. may be to expensive too.
-maybe Sony MDR but don't know which one could be good
(in Whats in Your dj Bag? - MSTRKRFT: is it hdj-2000? looks amazing! but amazingly expensive lol)
:D
I found the DT-770 to be too much of a (production) studio headset, so I chose for the Pioneer HDJ-500.
ok, do you think hdj 500 are betters than shure srh 750?
i'm a lil bit afraid about hdj 500, i hope they arent too cheap...
can the hdj 500 be folded for transport?
I haven't tried the Shure tbh, so I can't compare them.
HDJ500s cannot be folded for transport.
