How big ears do you have?
I think I have big ears, but i don't know. I want to compare them to some other ears.

Measure your ear from top to bottom of earlobe.

Left ear lenght: ~60mm
Right ear lenght: ~62mm

Measure your ear from tragus to back of rim.

Left ear width: ~35mm
Right ear widht: ~35mm

Measure your ears, please!

i dont have a way to measure them right now. but the so called small circumaural, Equation RP15, Denon HP700... aent circumaural for me. guess my ears are bigger than the average headphones user.



 Would not worry to much,most headphones seem to be made in Asia and I wonder if they are made to fit Asian ears.
 
Which brings me to my next question,do Asians have smaller ears than Westeners.

If you go to buy sunglasses from Oakley, they have a special Asian fit. I haven't tried them, but they appear to be smaller than standard fit. So it's likely that Asian phones are made similar.

I have seen in the gas stations, they also make special preservatives for asians too.

I feel like Dunbo now compared with you.
 
Left:
length: 72 mm
width: 38 mm
 
 
right:
 
length: 73 mm
width: 38 mm
 
An important curiosity might be that my tragus seems to be outtie, which make plain on ear phones like the grado comfies be extremely painful to me.

But maybe you're older than me?

I've got the same Tragus-problem, so I know how it feels.
