I'm just so glad this topic is getting brought up. Many weeks have been spent by me trying to find the right headphones that would be comfortable for me to wear with glasses without giving me headaches. What I've found mainly were the following: - The thicker and softer the earpads are, the better. These would usually mold around the arms of the glasses and would put way less stress on the glasses themselves, thus less stress on a single point on the sides of your head. - The thinner your glasses arms are, and the smaller the ends of your glasses arms are (the part that hooks behind your ears), the better. THIS has been the main turning point for me personally. Ever since I switched glasses to ones that have really thin arms and simple pointed ends, my headphone wearing experience improved significantly. It used to trigger my chronic headaches after wearing them for only a few hours, now I have very little problems with them. Having small glasses arm ends also improved the headphone pad seal for me, since my previous glasses had pretty big hook looking things to hook behind my ears, but these kept interfering and didn't fit well inside the earpads. Above all I do really recommend you to physically try out as many headphones (and glasses) as possible if that's within your realm of possibility. I've actually gone around trying out new glasses frames with my headphones around my neck, so I can quickly try out how they fit with my headphones on haha. Personally I've stuck with the Bose QC35 II. They create a lot of space between my ear and the edges of the earpads and the earpads mold around my glasses arms really well. A wildcard pick that I've actually been using for the past few months are the KOSS KSC-75. Been loving these so much, they don't interact with your glasses at all, sound really nice, and only cost like $20 to boot.

These are actually my top 2 picks as well (qc35 ii and ksc75). As someone who has always worn glasses my whole life, and who has an embarrassingly large headphone collection, I think the biggest factors for comfort in order are clamping force, over ear vs on ear design, and pad quality. The qc35 is balanced very well for my head, but another great pick for comfort would be the Phillips shp6500 (it also sounds better imo if background noise isn’t an issue). The ksc75 is one of the biggest steals in audio. If you don’t mind the unique design, it has absurdly good sound quality for the price, and is extremely comfortable. One more thing to take into account is that “rtings” has a website that provides some useful info on how a set of cans might fit, though I would be skeptical of their holistic scores since they are weighted in an odd way that never seems to really capture the value of a headphone.

The struggle truly is real lol

I’m used to that skull pressure. I do have really thin frames, so it does help. Plus I use open backs most of the time so that helps too. I don’t even break my seal on my AirPods Max because of how thin the arms are. So maybe that’ll help someone.

With my personal experience, heres my solution on this: 1. buy a decent headphone with a metal headband frame so you can reduce the clamping force by bending it out without breaking. 2. experiment with softer and thicker pads, try different material like velours or fabric aside from leathers (this will change the sound tho)...or 3. just get iems

I've had great success with over the ear headphones. I have used very comfortably the HyperX Cloud II, and since getting a bit further into audio, I'm using the open-back Phillips Fidelio X2HR headphones for very long sessions at a time. They don't clamp as hard and the soft, velvety pads play nice with my acrylic frame glasses.

As other people commented, having thin frames is probably the most helpful. My glasses have thin frames which probably allows me to use my headphones comfortably. Having soft pads would also help, since the pads would mould around your frames instead of pressing them into the side of your head or sandwiching them between your ears and skull. Still loving my 599’s Juan - thanks for bringing them to my attention.

@@raptorhacker599 Headphone pads can’t mould around thicker frames as easily as thinner frames, so the pressure is focused on your thick frames and the frames dig into the side of your head. With thinner frames the pads wrap around your frames and the pressure is put more evenly around your ears. The thin frames dig into the pads rather than your skin.

For myself who is short sighted and wears glasses all day, the Sennheiser PXC 550-II has been an excellent purchase for me. Literally while working wear these on average for up to 8 hours a day, and hardly noticeable, and you are right, once you break them in, you don't even realise you are wearing them, a bit like when you first start wearing glasses...😊

I used to fly aircraft and my David Clarke headphones had a after purchase upgrade earcups using gel. They were the most comfortable earcups I have ever had with glasses. I don't understand that the mainstream companies haven't adopted this in there products.

Having started using glasses for the first time in my life about 3 months ago, this became an issue with almost all of my headphone collection. My situation is more dire because I have a fairly sized afro, and always wear my glasses with straps, which poses even more of an issue with the cable getting tangled and sound isolation. I've noticed that thicker, softer pads like on my goldplanar gl2000 or monolith m1060 (both open back headphones) felt the best, but over an extended time (2-3 hours plus) the side pressure pain would always come. Also, my ears tend to equalise to the sound isolation difference, and it's only when I adjust the headphones, that I'll notice if one side has a better seal than the other.

As someone who basically always wears glasses I think the pads are what to look for the most. I feel like the fake leather pads always have been uncomfortable for me. I would get used to it, but it wasn't preferable. I know they're not inexpensive but the Sennheiser hd 6xx have been the most comfortable cans for me while having my glasses on. The velour pads don't get sweaty and the cushion clamping force well. Otherwise I just use iems for most of my listening anyway. Sure it gets annoying when I wrap the ear loop around the hook of my glasses, but it isn't uncomfortable. Lol

Finding closed-backed over-ear glasses friendly headphones is a big challenge. Reducing clampforce and breaking in pads or alternative thicker pads go a long way. Foam/material that allows for more articulated/pinpointed decompression helps too like memory foam or velour/alcantara pads. If you don't mind semi-open/open-backed on-ear that still sound great I would recommend Koss Porta-Pros, Koss KPH-30i (w/Grado pads), or Koss KPH-40. Koss has some of the best price to performance headphones out there. The Koss KPH-40 in particular sound amazing, can easily adjust the clamp, have soft foam, and are so small and light that they don't impede wearing glasses at all. I wear blue light filter glasses all the time since I stare at a computer monitor all day at work. Whenever I get fatigue from the pressure of wearing these glasses with one of my headphones I always reach for a pair of Koss headphones as a replacement to relieve that fatigue. I have almost a dozen mid-high end headphones and I still use at least 1 pair of Koss headphones each day.

Ever since I've gotten into audio in my late teenage years, I've always used glasses with thin side frames, and that definitely helps out. Sometimes my skull does hurt after hours of pressure, but by then I usually just switch around to using my IEMs.

That's the other option I thought of, going with an IEM instead.

Just an update, I picked up some hifiman sundaras to try and they are pretty comfortable as well. Not as comfy as the shp9500, but the sound quality is much better and fuller. I am not sure what it is about the sundaras that are aggravating me. I am only getting the issue on my left side, but it is also after the 2 hour mark. The pads are unreal nice. I am wondering if I will get used to it or that just may be a thing with them. The weight is greater so there is that potential as well. Good luck everyone.

My son had this problem as a glasses user. He was using Sennheiser 58x with glasses with a hard plastic frame and was fine for months...then he replaced his glasses with a nicer pair but it had a thin metal frame and within a couple days he had a gnarly gash from the glasses, it was all scabby and gross. Ended up swapping out the stock headphone pads for a pair of Dekoni hybrid pads and it resolved the issue completely.

My glasses' frames literally bent their position and i had to fix em several times, what headphones can i use to remove this problem?

You'd think this could be solved by custom cushions that are shaped to exert less pressure in that area.

i put soft earplug under the arms where the pressure is.. if it's too much. cut the earplug in half.. or you can poke a hole in them and slide the earplug onto the arm of your glasses then put the earphones on.. take a little bit of tweaking but the save me so many headaches..

I still bringing this up. My motorcycle helmet has a channel built in for eyeglasses and I have speakers inside. Still cannot understand why we don't have this in headphones!

For me only the Sivga SV021 ($150) has soft enough earpads and a clamp force that is very light, and they get better after breaking them in a bit. That being said, I am thinking of getting some vintage pince-nez glasses to wear when using them. The only other one that felt great was the Meze Empyrean, but that is $3000+

My glasses have acrylic frames that's about medium thickness. PortaPros, Philips X2 and hifiman Sundara are headphones that I've never had major comfort issues with. For closed back headphones, I'd say the AKG K371 is reliant on perfect seal in order to get the intended sound signature, with glasses it does lose some bass.

I switch to one of those super thin and flexible glass frame. helps with the pressure and leaks a bit but still not perfect.

Thin frames for the glasses + HD599SE works great for me. The soft velcro (cloth, whatever?) pads play very nicely with the frames without causing the latter to "dig" into my skull. A pair for outside though... I don't know just yet what I will choose

so far after a lot of over ear headphones I have liked the Focal Listen Professional best as they fit well and don't cause discomfort with my glasses even after an hour or more of play. the only issue I'd say is that until you find a comfortable fit for them and they loosen up a bit the glasses may be slightly off of your nose for the first week or two. but otherwise no real issues after a year and a half with them.

Something I know from people who've dealt with it is to buy headphones that mold to your head slowly. Then they wiggle their finger back and forth on the part of the cup where the glasses protrude from the ear. This speeds up the time needed to wear them before they fit.

HyperX Cloud Stinger (the non core versions) exert very little pressure on the head so they are very comfortable with glasses, at least with frames that have thin legs.

The Stealth 600 gen2 and Stealth 700 gen2 headsets from Turtle Beach have earcups with softer foam around the glasses area than the rest of the earcup.

The best I have ever had is a $14 glasses, headphone from turtle beach. If they made a high-end version I would definitely get a pair

I have had really good luck with the shp9500. The clamp force is very light and I can wear them forever and have no issues with them with any of my glasses

YES!! I also need earpads that are breathable mesh or something other than faux leather/"protein", that's not friendly with ppl who sweat a lot! I also need great noise cancelling, and am dying to find that concert experience sound that I can't experience LIVE, as I am disabled, car-less & haven't been to a concert in 20+ years- or even a movie theater in almost 10 years! Sadly, my budget as a disabled single girl is $100 tops. I know I was so impressed with the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless, thus got myself a used pair of the coveted Cyberpunk version for $70, but despite it being listed as "New open box", the wireless/BT function was broken, so I could only use them via cable. Even these non-squeaky ear pads were still enough to cause a creaky noise on my cheap glasses, so I usually just listen without my eye aids...

My steel series which are for gaming, but also work great as a headset for working at home. I had to break in the band and replace the pads with a soft felt style. I got contacts though... And it did make everything easier

So what about making a custom glasses that rest ON the headphones instead on your ears?

ive been using bose soundtrue around ear II that arent being produced for few years now, good sound quality, easy to replace pads, and hell they are the comfiest headphones ive ever had on my head. after 10h+ at my desk i dont even notice them. tried qc35 for a while but they are just way heavier and the clamping on my giantic head was way stronger. i also run do some 2h+ sessions of inline skating with adidas rpt-01, it might sound crazy but the sound quality out of these is actually really decent for these tank of a headphones, but you really have to change the default eq preset. and having metal band its easy to get rid of the clamping enough so the still fit great but dont make wearing sunglasses a pain. they are made by the same brand as marshall

HD58X, DT770 & Grado user, I simply tilt the legs of my glasses upwards to instead rest on my ears, they rest on my headphones pads, yes the angle of the glasses has changed slightly, but you get used to it quite fast, has been a non issue for me ever since I started to own overear hedphones. Grado does play nice with glasses though.

I have some beats which are on ear and are horrible for my glasses, also tried some astros a10 and didn’t find them at all comfy. Finally ended on some arctis 3 and they are the most comfortable headsets I’ve ever used

Fitment tips: use frames with thin and close fitting temples, with light clamping pressure temple tips should be as flat and minimal as possible headphone cups should be as large diameter as possible, large enough to have room all around the edges of your ear so you're not crushing the tops of your ears into the temples on your glasses pads should be as deep and soft as possible, ideally memory foam so you have max conformity and even pressure spreading pad fabric should be light and breathable to keep all these things stacked around yours ears from getting sweaty. something low friction like velour will also keep the headphones from grabbing the glasses temples and moving them or grinding them into your head as much. headphones should be low clamping pressure Most comfortable solution seems to me like it would be an AKG style headphone with fat aftermarket velour/memory foam pads.

I use hd600 and edition xx for when i listen for along time. The xxs are comfortable out of the box but the hd600s(not the most comfortable out of the box) have been used for about 10 years now and they are perfect now

My Focals are pretty good with or without glasses, the AirPods are decent, but I have some skullcandy crushers that (as the name suggests) don’t go well with glasses.

I've been using the WH1000 XM4 for a while now and I found out that the stock padding is very unfriendly to my head shape and glasses. I ended up buying velour padding from Misodiko and that just fixed everything for me. I get way less bass from the headphone but way better fit especially when wearing glasses.

Headphones that play nice with glasses aren't easy to find. But I'll raise you with glasses plus behind-the-year hearing aids. The cans have to be large enough to avoid rubbing up against the microphones on the hearing aids and allow the hearing aids to do what they need to do: receive sound from the headphones. Having to wear hearing aids is not good (seriously, protect the only hearing you've got). And shopping for over-the-ear headphones that work well with glasses and behind-the-ear hearing aids is pretty hard.

The “breaking it in” strategy did not work for me. I tried it before watching this video and it changed the shape of my glasses, making them too tight for my head. No hate to this guy for the suggestion, it might work for some people. This is more of a PSA than a criticism. Great video!

If you wear glasses, get the Astro A40's or A50's because they are open back and have soft fabric ear cups that don't make you sweat. The sound quality doesn't change when you put glasses on because there is no seal. I had to return my Arctis Nova Pro wireless because they were closed back and the glasses interfered with the seal around the earcup.

That's nice,great review as always.👍

I've had good luck with Beyerdynamic DT 770s. ~4 hour sessions. The pads are replaceable, too. It _seems_ like the better the velour surface, the better they work with glasses frames. I might have also suggested those crazy double death star looking headphones Sony used to make. Absolutely hysterical looking.

I've found that the clamping force is the most meaningful thing to consider and with some headphones you can bend them a bit. For a lot of headphones (even cheaper ones as long as they're primarily an audio brand) you can switch up the pads to something more comfortable. That is out of the question for you average user sadly as pads aren't usually available at your regular electronics store or even an audio focused store. Famous brands like Bose or Apple(/Beats) tend to not have the best audio quality at any price point, but they usually create comfortable products with comfortable audio signature which is easy on the ears and more than fine for your average consumer. They're designed for average consumers and comfort in mind first. Even though I don't personally much care for those products, I do think they have those things going for them. They're very much designed for the masses and they sell for other reasons than just the brand. Ease of use and comfortability. For me personally, as someone who wears glasses, nothing beats IEMs when it comes to comfort, but there are also a lot of IEMs that are very uncomfortable. With IEMs I feel like sound signature that's suitable for you also has a bigger impact than on over/on ear headphones. Great video and good topic btw!

I haven't owned an over-ear headphone in a few years ever since I got into IEMs, and they don't really interact with my glasses all that much. Of course, going for IEMs comes with it's own downsides. Not everyone will like having silicone or foam nubs shoved into their ear holes, there's the occlusion effect that comes with it, and finding a really good fit is perhaps even more finicky than with over-ears (cable and tip rolling, different ear shapes and all that), but once you find a set that works for you I think it can be a pretty good alternative to having to deal with glasses and headphone pads, and in general IEMs tend to be a more affordable investment than full-sized headphones.

Firearms headphones are usually a good fit with glasses since a lot of people like to wear safety glasses while shooting Unfortunately they’re also quite expensive And in my experience are surprisingly not durable

Oh... Interesting. Yeah. That makes sense though. I need to look at those...

considering other headphone names...i think you stepped on a golden goose with your headphone name. maybe a some gadget guy headphone or IEM collab.......also i wear a beanie all the time, headphones on top and helps a bit with the glasses.

It's a real pain to wear headphones throughout a cross country flight. I switch between surface headphones and airpods

I'm so happy i don't need to wear glasses. I can usually keep my cans on for a full day if I take a few littel breaks to air things out.

Great video

I would say the high quality gamer headsets feel the best on my big head with glasses.

I think, sport frame for glasses will not be as bothersome as normal frame while using most headphones.

@@SomeGadgetGuy yeah, because my other idea is on the realm of impossibility. What if they make a headphone with a mount for glasses (Adjustable of course) kinda like the night vision googles mounted to helmet.

Oh dude. I'd want that SO bad. I'd rock something like that with sunglasses. I know it would be nerdy.

Been wearing glasses my whole life and no one seems to ever cover this topic despite the billions of people in the world that wear them. Razer's Kraken line has a groove in their design to relieve the pressure on your temples. If their crap didn't always break on me, I would've stuck with them but alas, the search continues.
