Movie/Tv headphones

[Cujonic]

Hello there

I have been searching and trying various headphones for using with my tv, but my problem is i have very sensitive ears and find most headphones uncomfortable after 30m-1h.

I know i might have too many criterias to find a good headphone, but cant hurt to try

-I have rather big ears (6,7cm long, 4 wide, 2.7 deep) so need big cans
-My ears gets very hot in most cans (havent tried open back yet)
-I have a minor hearing problem on left ear so i dont like too high treble or "screaming sound"
-Dont like the foam padding on phones like Grado
-They cant bee too bulky so they hit my shoulder laying sideways on the couch (sennheiser 5xx size are fine tho)
-Prefer wired 3.5 mm jack (have had too many problems with my bluetooth transmitter)
-They cant have too much jaw pressure

Headphones i have tried are :

Beyerdynamic Byron in-ear : so far my best option, but wanna try a little "wider" sound, and the seal does annoy a little after a while

Sennheiser RS175 (too bulky, too hot, some jaw pressure)
Sennheiser Rs 120 (semi decent, but the fabric and on-ear annoys too much)
Sennheiser 569 (the little bump inside the cans hit my ears and hurt after 30 min)
Soundblaster Jam (cant stand the foam padding)
Skullcandy Uproar (too hot "swampy" ears after 20 min)
Apple Airpods (too high treble, not too comfy)


Headphones i want to try, and need some info on is :

Beyerdynamics 880/250ohm (semi open)
AKG K702

Does the semi open/ full open make them much colder than closed cans
Are the treble too high (read something about reference have high treble and lower bass)
Do they need an Amplifier to sound decent (dont need super sound just decent)
Do they clamp much on the jaw

Sennheiser 599 :

Do they have a different size than the 569 model, or do they have same depth with the little bump inside

On-Ear Headphones :

I have only tried non expensive ones and didnt like the cramping on the ears, but will there be much difference in comfort/heat if i buy more expensive ones like Bose soundlink or Philips Fidelio

In-ear Headphones :

My Beyerdynamic Byrons are the ones i use most, but will comply foam make them more comfortable and less feeling of seal.

Are there any other in-ears that really has a much better sound than these for movies (thinking like Shure SE 125KE, or Bose Soundtrue)

Budget ~200EU

Any kind of input or suggestions are appreciated

HD650, all day.

I've worn mine for four hours, before my ears got too warm... And at 6'6 with proportionate features, I have rather large ears.

The laid back sound will quell any treble concerns. What's your amplification like?

Tried moving your ears more towards the center of the HD569? I had PXC350 that forced me to move my ears near-or-dead-center of the oval.

considering how many comfort issues you have, i think you should get acrylic custom iems. its sticking something very far into your ears, and it wont fit when you have a cold but at least they wont exhibit too much of the problems you've listed. i'm quite sensitive to my ears getting hot and even open backed headphones don't really help. i dont know what your budget is but i suggest you look into customs, particularly the ones that people describe as smooth with rolled off treble. If you wanna go all out, considering the size of your ears, i think you could get something with a lot of drivers.

Cheers, should have stated my budget is around 200 EU

@Nick : Those do look nice, was hoping to spend a little less, but might consider. How deep are they, and do they have the bump inside the cans?. Dont have an amplifier as i didnt think i would need one for some casual movies/tv

@Pbui : Yea theyre ok when put in the middle, but i move them around alot, and in most of the comfortable positions i hit the bump.

@Pithyginger : Could be a very good solution, havent considered that, but it seems a bit too pricey for me. If i dont find others i would definately consider saving up for those

"lol, i had this problem too, gave up after a month" ..a shame such a little detail can ruin such good headphones. There must be alot of people with this problem even tho most reviews says "even the biggest elf ears will fit these". I dont consider my ears that big and flapping, but guess i was wrong
