How are headphones when wearing glasses? I'm looking for a pair that will be comfortable for extended use (6+ hours).

Its noticeable, but not uncomfortable. I find the wire as it wraps over the back of my ear, falls between my glasses and my ear. There is a very slight pressure point on my ear from this. I would shift the cord around a bit to move the spot, or avoid completely. I started to get used to it. It reminded me of when I first started wearing glasses actually. Just a slight new pressure point. I will try putting the MA750s in first, then glasses on top as J. Thorburn suggested. Good idea.

Headphones are quite comfortable even with glasses because the loop over each ear is loose, and hangs virtually weightless between the ear and the side frame of the glasses (rather than being between side frame and head).

it is subjective but i do not have any problems with wearing it my Oakley Flack Jacket or other Maui Jim Glasses out doors, OK with my reading glasses too. i never tried for 6+ hours i do use it during work for long period of time though, g of use at a time, you have to try it to feel it, the cord is very comfortable.

you pretty much have to put these on then put your glasses so the arms rest on top of the headphone cord. my glasses are still secure when doing this, and if you don't then it will cause discomfort.

I wear these withy glasses and, personally, have had no problems. They're quite comfortable.

I do not know what you expect in terms of comfort with glasses. I wear glasses too. I use a Bose QC15 set of headphones (costing nearly $300) as well as the SONY. I use the SONY where I expect some rough use because the Bose, though providing excellent noise cancellation and sound quality, is not of very sturdy construction. However, with respect to comfort while wearing glasses, I notice no difference between the two. Until you mentioned it, I did not know either of these headphones could be irritants to spectacles. It is quite possible that I am not as sensitive to pressure on the glasses as you are. All I can say is that there is no difference between the SONY and the more expensive headphones in regards to this property.

Not very. Comfortable with glasses. Seem to be a good balance between comfort and tight if you don't want tight cans. Too loose for me though. I like the bass and brightness of tight headphones. I gave these to my son (who wears glasses) because I actually wanted tighter cans. I found I had to have my hands pushing them tighter to get better sound. It all depends on how picky your ear is. He loves them and wears them everywhere, all day.

I wear glasses and these headphones create no problem. I would imagine that it varies from style to style. My frames are bendable metal, however I am not aware that the headphones interfere with them at all. I hope this helps.JM

I wear glasses as well, headphones and glasses just do not get along. My issue is the cords and putting glasses on and off while wearing them. I think over ear are more comfortable while wearing glasses but these are less troublesome when removing or putting on glasses. Unless using a portable player the shorter cord on these can be a problem if you move around while listening. I must be lucky cause neither these nor my other headsets cause discomfort during long listening sessions. For most, though, the only way to get around it is to wear in ear buds but they have their own problems.

Pretty comfortable for me. I'm wearing light, thin glasses and quite frankly I never notice any discomfort between the headset and the glasses. I'm not sure how it would fare while using glasses with thicker temples/tips.

I bought them for my wife. She likes other "in-ear" types and wears these for hours and hours without any complaint. Personally, my ears get sore when I wear any type of the "in-ears" so I use skull candy "fix-buds" when I am going to listen for a long time. So, if you like the in-ear kind of headphones, they'll be great. If not, I suggest the skullcandys I mentioned earlier.

As others have stated, they're over-ear. I have been using mine for the past 3 years and these headphones are unbeatable for the price that they're sold at.As for comfort, I use them at work and have them on my head for about 6 hours a day..... Most of the time, without anything playing haha. I usually tend to forget they're on my head until my ears start to sweat a little.As long as I take them off my head every 30 minutes and let my ears 'air out' for a minute or two, I can have these on indefinitely. I actually like leaving them on without any music playing to be honest. It's a comfort thing, and people see the headphones and think twice about talking to me and disturbing me at work.

This pair of headphones are quite comfy. My only issue with them is that when I wear them for a long periods, my ears start to hurt, not because of the sound, but because they don't really sit well on my ears - that's probably because my ears are shaped kinda oddly, so its not really a fault of the headphones but of my genetics. Other than that, my brother has used these for 6 hours straight at one point and had no issue whatsoever. However, these headphones are open headphones so not only will the sound leak out (other people can hear it) if you put the volume too loud, but you will be able to hear other people as well. So if the airplane is gonna be noisy, you might as well not be wearing any headphones. This pair of headphones are quite comfy.

It depends on how long you want to wear them while wearing glasses, I think. I wear mine for several hours at a time and I have to adjust my glasses once in a while - but that's been true of several different headsets I've had. Seems to go with the territory.

These headphones are pretty adjustable. And I have a pretty big head and they are just right/almost a lil snug for me. If they begin to give me a headache after 3 or 4 hours of scoring and mixing, then they should be comfortable for you for much much longer.

Well they are a bit on the heavier side. Which makes sense because they are technicly made for professional use. When I say that I mean in terms of sound but also time usage. Like no one is going to use them (professionally) for more than 2 hours on end. But in terms of using them for just listening to music then after a while the weight does get to be a problem for people. Personally I like them it would be nicer if the headphones were lighter but nothing is 100% perfect. In the end it depends on the consumer (you).

I have a very large head (I just measured it as about 24.5 inches in circumference, or "XX-Large" according to a hat site), and I wear glasses. I find other cheap headsets extremely uncomfortable, to the point where I'd actually log off of voice communications with my friends because my ears hurt.But I find these headphones very comfortable and frequently wear them for hours without even noticing. I would recommend anyone with a big head give them a try; be aware that you might need to wear them for a while before they loosen up a bit. Also position them so that your ears are entirely inside the cups. The cups measure a little more than 2 inches by 2 inches, square, on the inside.

I wear glasses and found these headphones to be a pain with them... overall, they are a bad fit, and they just dont sit well with glasses (in my experience).

I don't think any headphones are comfortable to wear for a long time. But I've worn the BOSE noiseless, and I would say these are pretty up there. I take trans-Pacific flights (10-13 hours), so that means I've worn these for about 15 hour stretches. I wouldn't say I didn't feel they were there, but think of the alternatives (tremendous engine/air conditioning noise). So these are definitely a must-have! Also, I don't believe in buying any headsets over $120 or $150 unless you're a snobby "audiophile." So these are your best bet!

Yes, very comfortable for long hours gaming. Used one for 2 years, finally wore out the microphone, ordered another one. I only use my glasses when reading, but have used them with this headset and it was fine.
