Bluetooth Over Ear Headphones for big ears

Hello, does anyone have any budget recommendations for Bluetooth over ear headphones? I hate my ears being crushed, so can anyone recommend ones with large ear cavities?

Probably not exactly budget, but I absolutely love my Sony WH-XB700 bluetooth headphones.  They show at around £120 on Amazon right now, but I paid around £100 last year.

Perhaps the only thing I'd say about them is that I was expecting better bass, given that they are advertised as extra bass.  But that's probably a personal preference, as I've always like a moderate amount of bass in my music - which is I why bought this model.

No idea. 
But could you state your budget first?

Under £100? 😊

The big problem is defining "big ears". A lot of headphones look OK in the piccies but the earcuff orifice can be a bit small or even worse virtually circular and still sit on your ears.

I've got a pair of EVO bluetooth noise cancelling headphones from 7dayshop, which cost me £19.95 around four years ago. They are significantly better than I expected bearing mind that I do wear behind the ear hearing aids and they fit me even with the hearing aids in place without crushing my ears or squashing them against the aids. I find them quite comfortable, even after a couple of hours on the train where they do a reasonable job of subduing extraneous noise (kids, people on phones or chatting. even announcements etc)

They work with everything I've got, MP3 player, tablets, phone, TV and laptop and they do cut out a fair bit of outside noise. - I use them if I want to listen to something on the computer whilst my wife is watching the TV. They obviously wont compare with Bose, Sony or some of the others but really are a bargain (last time they were available they'd gone up to £25). My wife has a pair as well when she wants to watch different stuff to me.

These get very good reviews and look to have a fair amount of "ear space" This is also a very good price as they are usually around £80 Soundcore by Anker Life Q30 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones with Multiple Modes, Hi-Res Sound, Custom EQ via App, 40H Playtime, Comfortable Fit, Bluetooth Headphones, Multipoint Connection: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo Check out some of the reviews

Actually I've just ordered myself a pair as my Evo's are getting a bit battered after several years worth of hard work - they get used nearly everyday and the earcups are getting a bit worn and it's probably not worth trying to replace them even If they were available

My Soundcore's have just arrived and to say that I'm impressed would be an understatement. The ANC is certainly better than my EVO's and I really like the transparency mode that lets you hear what's going on if someone talks to you rather than having to take them off.

They are really good - Tubular Bells is a pretty good test. Plenty of space for even the larges ear flaps, certainly recommended
