Real good headphones. Obviously bigger then standard ones for a mp3 player.

Do you wear the bigger ones or feel a prat wearing them?

Seems to be getting fashionable nowadays so it just depends if you feel self conscious wearing them outdoors.

Good choice from a good make of headphones.
I'm looking at buying a pair of their DJ / Monitoring ones later this month.

I don't think you would feel a prat going round in them. At the end of the day if you are enjoying your music, why care about what others think.

I see many wearing big headphones nowadays and think nothing of it, If you want the sound quality that they give you then go for it.

Well having got over my self conscious phase (having to use a stick and dark glasses) I guess big headphones wouldn't bother me.

But my bluetooth headset sounds ok so I'm not sure I'd change.

Do I wear big headphones on the move? No. Not because I think they look bad or anything (I don't). More of a practical thing.. I like to have my iPod with me whenever I go, and I don't always have a bag, so any headphones I use outside have to fit into a pocket.

So, I have a pair of Shure in the ear earphones for outside use, and a decent quality set of full size headphones from Technics at home. The Technics particularly provide good sound from pretty much any source.

I have some koss in ear earphones for places where they could get damaged, and a set of Bose for everywhere else. I like the fact I can put a PC headset over the top of them and still be comfortable. and yes, I have done that in the past.

My son wears big ones like that, he DJs part time.
Not looking forward to him finishing uni soon, as all his "stuff" moves back in with him, and its all a bit too loud for me!!

Wish I could easily get the hearing aid shoes to use. Other than that in ear ones are no good to me so those look pretty good.
