    Default Best wireless headset for big ears?

    I have large ears and they stick out about 1.25 inches from my head. I have the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro and my ears lay right against the driver wall padding. This leads to ear pain about 30 minutes into wearing them.

    So far, I have not found a company that makes replacement ear pads for this model. There are replacement pads for the Blackshark V2 and V2 X but not the V2 Pro. The snap pin alignment is different between the models.

    What I'm looking for in a headset:

    - Good audio

    - Good mic

    - As Techne says "Stinkin cozy". Gotta be comfy. I have big ears and need deep ear cups.

    - Decent battery life like 20 hours

    - Good build quality. Hoping they won't break within the first 6 months of use.

    I do have the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 250 ohm headphones paired with a Mod Mic 5 attached to it but I'm looking at wireless stuff.

    Any help with finding this golden egg of a headset would be greatly appreciated.

    OH! almost forgot to mention that I did have the Corsair HS80 headset for like 8 hours before I had to return it due to a faulty microphone. I was on the phone with Corsair tech support for 40 minutes and they even deemed it faulty.

    Those were comfy and my ears did not touch the driver wall at all. The driver wall is actually slanted at like 20 degrees to conform to angle at which most ears stick out. I have no idea why all headset don't take this approach.

    Just a thought before people offer suggestions.....
    How much are you willing to spend? :P

    I've only tried these a few times (sadly the guy who owns them no longer works for us and I lost touch with him so I can't really ask for measurements) but check these out https://en-ca.sennheiser.com/hd-450-bt

    I have large ears myself but they don't stick out as much as you indicate yours do and I had plenty of room in them :)

    So my only issue is you suggest headphones and not a headset. Maybe I should go with a wireless set of headphones and the wireless mod mic. That might be my best bet for best audio, comfort and having wireless with a good mic.

    Hey man check these out

    One of my favorite things is the interchangeable ear cups.
    I have fairly large ears, and they feel pretty great. I know best buy has these, might be worth trying them on if your store has them on display before buying.
    They are super sturdy, advertised 20 hour battery
    Checks all your boxes, just got to see if its right for you.

    I just got a pair of the Virtuoso SE's. The earcups are shallow but I overnighted replacement earcups for them. I'll post pics and stuff later. The replacement earcups even came with the plastic disc attached to them so they lock right onto the headset super easily. They're also quite a bit thicker too. I'll have to see how it affects audio quality. I'll let ya know.
