I also have a smaller head and am currently happy with the Final Audio UX5000, but also have had luck with the UX3000, and Sennheiser Accentum or Accentum Plus, though those run a bit too tight around the jaw for the first few days until they loosen up a bit.
Edit to add, the AKG N9 Hybrid is very comfortable for me also. All of the headphones I have mentioned stay secure on me (the issue I tend to have is the same with the weight sitting on top of my head and making a hotspot and not enough clamp at the earcups which also causes slipping).

Hello fellow audiophiles,
I just wanted to share my experience so far with high end headphones for the first time.
Its like a new world opened up that was hidden all along. When you first play your favorite songs thats youve been listening to your whole life, its like, damn. Its like a whole other song and experience. Truly mind blowing.
Next step is a dac and now im hooked so it might go down hill from here. Ive always wanted hi fi headphones but I'm still a student so never had the money for it. Now im almost done my studies and cant wait to spend more in the future lol.
Yeah, I debated a lot if I should get open back or closed back, but in my situation, the logical choice was closed back, definitely. But in the future, I will for sure try open backs.
Now im not the most experienced fella here, but in my opinion, 100% definitly. I had the momentum 4s a while back and they were decent, but its not even close to being the same. Not even close.
Yes, definitly want to build a hi fi setup over time. Thx for the info, although many people in the comments tell me I dont need one wich is weird kuz when I did my research, i came to the conclusion that its better to have a external DAC than rely on the DAC of the PC (or whatever you are using).
Well I use them with my PC and they are definitly loud enough for my ears. I listen to music and play video games most of the time. Once in a while I make some music as well. In fact, I have my windows on 25% volume because they're pretty loud and quite a bit louder than my previous pair.
As someone who is returning the ult for Accentum plus, definitely accentum. ULT Wear has a lot of bass. It is the bassiest headphones in any range. I had got it for 6k, but it was so bad that I am still selling it on OLX.
theyre worth spending money on when ur an audiophile, i had the sennheiser ie200s, ie900s, sony xm5s, and now the sennheiser momentum 4s. the clarity is unmatched and top tier, i dont think theyre worth it if you’re js buying them for normal daily usage, if you’re really into music and want top notch sound quality then it is worth it.
the sony ult wear has better ANC compared to the sennheiser accentum plus, but the sound quality of the accentums is slightly better(better lows and highs). accentums have a way better battery life too. the ult wear has better bass though.
in conclusion, if ur gonna buy this to listen to music which is bass-centric, go for the ult wear, if you want more clarity and seperation, go for the accentum plus.
It can limit some of that noise, though not completely. Try to get your hands on the Plus variant, if that's possible. The ANC on that is slightly better (though there's not a huge margin between the two).
Skip the Sennheisers, wouldn't recommend anyone to purchase these. I think these still come with the micro USB jack (or maybe it was the 450BT, idk, not too sure). There's not enough room for your ears and they sound pretty average.
The Space Ones had an issue with the ANC (2 of my friends bought this pair because of my recommendations last year and both of them had issues with it, ended up exchanging it with the Sony 720Ns).
Though I dunno if that issue still persists (talking about the Space Ones). Other than this issue, they were a decent pair, imo.
The Jlabs lux, from what I've heard, feel cheap to the touch but sound pretty decent and provide a decent ANC (given the price).
Wouldn't recommend the JBLs. I've tested them out and they feel like crap, not the sound, but how they fit on my head. Weird earcups, along with a wonky, plastic design.
The 720Ns are pretty fine, at least from my experience. You will feel that the build is a bit cheap to the touch but then the audio quality is pretty decent. Also, you'll start to feel difference with how the song/audio feels if you have a decent ANC as it gives you a sense of isolation and makes the experience a tad bit better (switched from Accentum to QC Ultras and this is what I've observed). The earcups will start to peel off after a while, but that's common with almost all the headphones.
It's meh. You'll just feel the ambient noise a bit more lighter, but that's about it. If you start listening to music, you won't be able to hear much of outside.
I usually wear it to the gym and yeah it gets the job done for the most part. Mine has some QC issues but it's too late now.
