Yeah my ears are above average in size and so is my head lol.

Going to have to try on headsets before I buy them for sure.


Do you only want headsets? Or would a pair of headphones / Mic be fine too?

Headset so I can switch from Xbox 1 to my PC. Preferably surround sound as well as wireless.

A40s i heard made it really easy to switch back and fourth between devices so I will be trying them on and seeing how they fit.

Hoping they fit well otherwise ill have to keep looking.

best pair I ever listened to would have to be the STAX SR-009. or Audeze LCD-4. or Focal Utopia.

A bit expensive tho. Stuck with my Denon D5000 for home use and B&W P5s for portability

My favorite so far is the AKG Q701, love the sound stage and the slightly airy sound. I guess they sound the most 'open' of the headphones I've owned which is why I like them, but I prefer speakers over headphones most of the time anyway.

A lot of people here just like headphones I see lol.

I am looking for headset opinions. Headset would include a mic.

Astro A40's I will be checking out no doubt.

Becuase as a general rule, headsets suck. The only good thing about them, is the fact it has a mic built in. The build quality is generally lacking, sound quality is bad, and they typically charge way too much for said garbage.

Yeah but the fact that I will be using this headset for my xbox to talk in game to friends is why I would need one.

I understand Headphones are made with way better quality and its easier to buy a stand alone mic that would be nicer as well but I need them together.

Steelseries siberia looks like pretty good quality as well.
