    I would find a shop you can try them on for comfort.

    Excellent noise cancelling on them as well.
    Ta, I'll have a look.

      Sadly, wearing them is like having your head in a vice, and not in a good way.
      There's a good way to have your head in a vice?

          I think you have a different type of vice in mind...

            OK they don't seem to make the exact ones I have any more, this seems to be this years version:

            Sennheiser UK - HD 558

            I also have some of these Sennheiser UK - HD 280 PRO which aren't actively noise cancelling but block out noise like ear muffs.

            I bought the missus some cordless ones a while ago as well

            They all go around the ear rather than on top of it which I find a lot more comfortable, it does make them bulkier though. I wasn't keen on the AKG ones as they mostly sit on top.
            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              AKG or Beyerdynamics.

              Sennheiser are alright but IMO poorly made and not as long lasting.

                I bought these for the studio as they were cheap and would do for singers being recorded with a backing track. Amazing value for money at around £40.

                  Wow there is a whole new world out there for the true headphone connoisseur! FWIW I like the Denons as they're seemingly made from wood.
