Massdrop - TH-X00 Cup size help

[omedon]

I have heard the ear cup size is on the smaller side. The only pair of closed headphones I have on hand are Kingston Cloud HyperX gaming headphones which are as snug as I care to wear. Does anyone know how the TH-X00 earcups compare? I'm interested in these headphones (I always coveted the denons) but I wouldn't want to pay $400 to be uncomfortable.

I don't have the Kingston Cloud HyperX, but I do have a TH-X00 on-hand. The exterior cup (as I'm measuring) is 100.8mm. The opening in the earpad 59.41mm high, and 35.03 mm wide, by my measurements.

I've always favored big cup headphones. When I used the Denon D2000, which seems to have similar dimensions, I didn't have any comfort issues (at the time, I also had an industrial piercing which added to the comfort requirements!).

Moreover, they fit the Lawton Audio pads or MrSpeakers Alpha Pads, both being huge. I can measure the latter if you want.
