psychoticdreamThat wasn't mentioned. I had the same question (assuming I understand it right) and no one responded so I used an image of one of the headphones in the akg k series (can't remember which one) and approximated the size of the inner diameter of the ear cups. It was a very rough approximation but I got about 50-60mm. I think for most people that would touch the edge of the ears. But keep in mind that is a VERY rough approximation. I wasn't even going to mention it but since you asked I figured I would. I just used a metal ruler and scaled what I measured, while being very careful not to scratch my monitor. If someone has a k702 AE (or this) and would be willing to measure the interior diameter of the ear cups that would be awesome.

psychoticdreamNo need to measure. Unless you have Dumbo ears, these are over ear.

ManroopThe reason I wanted to know the size is because according to the measurement of the k550 I found it is almost exactly the same size as my ears (which I don't think are exceptionally large) and these look like they might be a little bit smaller. People also say that the k550 is huge. Ears are hard to measure yourself though so I might have screwed up.
EDIT: After taking a more accurate measurement (using a mirror and a ruler with notches instead of just a small tape measure) my previous measurement was too small.
EDIT 2: Just saw a side-by-side comparison with the k550 and k702 AE and take back the thing about these looking a little bit smaller.
EDIT 3: Just did a more accurate approximation and got between 64 and 65 millimeters. The only image I could find that I could use was at an angle, but I did tried to measure in a way that the skew would affect the measurement as little as possible. I also had to use the k712 pro.

ManroopI haven't watched that because I don't like him. But without knowing how big his head and ears are it doesn't help any.

Manroopyes that person is Linus, if you actually read any part of this conversation this video was already posted and is what @SuperBobKing is talking about.
Some of these headphones were sent out to reviewers before this drop started, including Linus
