So I'm coming straight from a bunch of gaming headsets. The likes of, Razer Krakens, Steelseries Siberia V2s, and Corsair Vengeance 2000s.
I strongly disliked the audio quality from the headsets, and the comfort was not a strong point for me. The small-ish circular ear pads clamped the tips of my ears as the cups were too small! Plus the Vengeance 2000s were very heavy and I'm not a van of the cloth-velour material.
So I'm looking at some Sennheiser headphones, for under £80 which I am mainly looking at for comfort from big ear cups. My ear length/height measures 7cm or so.
I'm currently looking at the Sennheiser HD 429 and 449 as they are said to be around-ear design with leatherette ear cups.
-However I have read reviews that the ear cups are not actually that big and may not fit for me.
Should I just go and buy the HD380 pros? I'm pretty sure they are big enough according to:

All I'm really looking for are:
Lightweight
Big OVAL ear cups
Leatherette not velour
Comfortable
Under £80 from sennheiser?
Thanks! Please offer your suggestions.
