I have fairly large ears, i'm currently using the Corsair Raptor HS40 headset and the ear pieces just aren't large enough, after a few hours of wearing them it physically hurts when i remove them. Does anyone know of headsets that have large ear pieces and have great sound quality?

I just purchased my second set of Creative Fatal1ty Headset a few days ago from Newegg.  The first pair lasted about four years and were still extremely comfortable to my large ears before I accidentally ripped the cord out of the in-line volume/mute switch rendering them useless.  They're Circumaural, meaning they fit around the ears instead of rest on them.  They're fairly cheap in cost, but surprisingly sturdy in construction.  They're so light-weight, I can wear them for hours (and do frequently) with no problems.

Holy crap no. 

I had those too like a really long time around and even with my small ears they hurt like hell after just a short time. 

Also they sound pretty awful. Better get the clouds.
