Can this headset be used with glasses? and this headset vs the steelseries siberia v2 which is better?

No, its too small and too tight unless you have a tiny head. I would guess this is better just based on my orevious experience of senhiser vs other brands but it probably comes down to taste.

I think it is better. I have been using this headset for over 2 years, and it has worked perfect. It would be hard to find a better headset.

No, these are not the best glasses for headsets. I do use them with my headset because they are the best ones with the flat nose piece. I can use a headset for two hours but after that it applies too much pressure to my head. The glasses made for headsets have the pressure point nose pieces models: Gunnar Optiks PPK-00101 PPK Full Rim Advanced Video Gaming Glasses with Headset Compatibility and Amber Lens Tint, Gloss Onyx Frame Finish, and Gunnar Optiks PHA-00101 MLG Phantom Full Rim Advanced Video Gaming Glasses with Headset Compatibility and Amber Lens Tint, Gloss Onyx Frame Finish

Yes. Put on your glasses first and then the headset. The new pads are soft enough so that the glass frames do not press uncomfortably against your skin. I wear the headset outside with my eye glasses while I mow the lawn in the hot sun with no problems.

This headset does not work with windows so there are two things you can do: Possibility one: download additional proprietory software (forgot the name... search the skype forum... I tried it free for a few days and it worked... lousily) Possibility two (recommended): return this headset and get one that works with windows.

What the other person said. The headset is not detachable from the Maelstrom and the headset is USB only. Also I would highly doubt that PS3 has the drivers for the headset installed or even.let you install them. Razer made this headset specifically for PC only so its probably not a good idea to plug it into anything other than PC's. If you want a good headset for PS3 then buy the Razer Carcharias and plug it into an Astro mixamp instead. Ive heard that combination is pretty good.

gold plating only counts for durability. as for quality, i've noticed zero difference when using it on my phone or my computer. (steelseries siberia v2 headset)

I wear wire frame glasses and have no problems. Best headset I have ever tried, and now own.

My surround sound was pretty crappy with my headset....It sits nice on my head, only hurting if I'm wearing glasses, or playing for like 2-3+ hours.

Hi Jarmon I can't say for certain if the headset is compatible with Windows7. You may be able to download drivers to fix compatibility issues although I believe you should be able to just plug and play. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Yes this headset will interfere with glasses. It took some getting used to but it doesn't bother me that much.

Yes, I wear glasses/have worn glasses my entire life and the headset is more comfortable than any other headphones/headset I've had.

Hi Nicole, I've been able to use the headphones for long gaming sessions without issues with glasses. My ears do get a tad on the warm side at times. I love the cord it's not rubber, but a blue mesh material cord cover.

I wear the headset over my ear with glasses. It is comfortable, but it did take some getting used to. Definitely leave on the foam sleeve that comes on the over the ear piece. I haven't tried it without it, but other reviews complain about the hard plastic. I'm sure it would be more bothersome to wear the ear piece with glasses, without the foam sleeve.

Thanks very much for your question. Fit and comfort with headphones is very individual. That having been said you should be able to use these while wearing glasses. They are wonderful sounding headphones.

The headset works great with Skype. I use the Plantronics Spokes app to manage the interface. Note: Skype is changing their API soon which might affect the on headset mute and pick-up/hang-up functions until Plantronis rewrites to the new API

I'm having the same problem. I contacted the company and they said the headset isn't designed for Windows, and that you may not be able to get it to work even with the correct drivers. Annoying!!
