Do you have a recommendation by chance to use on a long flight? thanks

The problem with the bose headphones for long flights are the fact that even though they are over the ear, they are still quite small. I found that to get them over my ear, I have to wiggle my ear into them. After a few hours... say, a flight to Taipei or Singapore, my ears would get sore and I'd have to take them off for awhile.

As much as it embarrasses me to admit it, I found that the most comfortable earphones (for me) are the Beats Executive Noise Cancelling Over Ear headphones.

I also tried on a pair of Sennheiser in Amsterdam Airport that were awesome... can't remember the model but they were almost $1,000US. hell no.

Maybe I just have big fricking ears. But I find that for long international flights, even a bit of discomfort winds up being a big sore sport at some point.
