Headphones with drivers larger than 50mm?

To be honest driver size does not directly means better sound quality. But still.

Audio Technica uses 53mm drivers on their full sizes and recently ES10.

Sony XB series? SA5000 uses 50mm driver.

Most electrostatics.

Sennheiser HD800 IIRC have a large ring driver exceeding 50mm.

And the Sony MDR-XB1000 is rocking 70mm drivers. :L3000:

The original Fostex T50 and T30 had 60mm drivers


Forgot to measure my T50 clone when I cleaned the systems, but from sheer looks I'd say it's rather 80mm or so...
