Hi all,
my friend is willing to buy some cheap sealed headphones for home usage, so I was wondering: is it possible, that generally speaking - headphones with bigger drivers should sound better than headphones with smaller drivers at comparable price ? Or is the same ?
I am especially interested in these headphones
(smaller size):

(full-size):

I guess that full-size headphones should be more comfortable to use, but I am not sure about the impact to the sound quality when compared to the more "portable" models. Could be those smaller phones also a choice for home usage or would you definitely prefer full size phones ?
Also if you have any other suggestions for good cheap sealed headphones I'll be glad to hear about them. Sound quality and comfort are most important factors. Or if you have practical experience with some of the 4 models above it would be cool to know your opinion. Of course opened headphones would sound much better I know, but my friend simply wants sealed phones and I doubt that anyone from us could ever change her mind.
