Default Thinnest headset for CB?

Bought a J & M headset setup for Hubby with Honda and HD cables.

Hubby evidently has big ears because he found that they are too thick and uncomfortable in the helmet. Unfortunately once open they won't take them back so I guessI'll see if theyfitmy helmet though I already have 2 HD sets.

What I need is suggestions for a thinbut decent head set....he needs them for honda but would be best if we can alternate the cables between the 2 types of bikes.

it might just be the helmet design, there are helmets that are setup to have headsets, some do not do well at all with them...

Both are HJC. We have a 3/4 and a flip up. He says 3/4 (which is the set I bought) he says it's managable for short tripsthe other is a no go.

He has very touchy ears I guess.
