Im looking for a pair of headphones for around like 80-90$, now keep in mind I have a big head, Steelseries Siberia v2 didnt fit my head. Right now i'm looking at the Audio Technica AUD ATHAD500X, and the Sennheiser HD 518. Maybe you guys can tell me which ones are better or maybe you know of a better set of headphones!

HD518's yup. Slick has 598's or something like that and they are the same size and slick's head is massive.

Alright thanks man ill go with the HD518's  :)

 

no no no

 

500X for big head peeps. Sennheisers don't stretch much and can clamp big heads too much

Open-Headphones.No question for your situation.I have tried HD 558 and 598.Tell you what,they are very comfortable.I didn't experience any forceful clamping.Even you are sensitive it doesn't matter since the ear cups cover your ears whole.And I bet the plushiness of the cups will do a better job.

Even the side over head doesn't hurt for long listening.The HD 598 is one of the most comfortable HPs I've worn!

If 518,share as much as told to their older siblings,it shouldn't be a problem.

P.S: Slick has HD 595.Older version to HD 598.

Would you recommend the open ones or the closed ones, I'm normally in a quiet room.
