Best over ear noise cancelling headphone for large head?

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for over ear noise-cancelling headphones for someone with a large head/glasses wearer.

I just got back from a long (9+ hour) flight and I was borrowing a set of Beats over ear headphones and within an hour I could hardly put them on my head, the ear/head pain was unbearable. I had the same issue with PlayStation over ear headphones, after an hour or so they are so painful I need to wait a day to use them again.

Anyone else have these issues? I’m trying to find a good set of noise canceling headphones for flights that are comfortable enough to wear for several hours or more. Does my large head cost me use of headphones like this? Do I need to use in-ear only? I’ve never found in-ear noise cancellation to be great, but after sitting on that flight yesterday in silence because I couldn’t watch a movie it was terrible.

Thank you kindly!
