    Headsets for the bespectacled

    So I'm in the market for a new headset for my PC gaming/skype needs. All of the headsets I've owned in the past have always pressed my ears into the earpieces belonging to my glasses, and it becomes pretty painful after an hour or so.

    Can anyone suggest some headsets that are especially comfortable for people who wear glasses?

    How very clever of you. Now if anyone has anything useful to add concerning comfortable headsets for glasses-wearers, I'd appreciate it.

    I have no problem using these when I wear my glasses.

    Apple earbuds with built in mic. Since I've got some ray-bans that are terrible to wear with my headset because they're so wide. Only other suggestion I can make is to switch over to a pair of frameless lenses.

    That or use a speakers and a desk mic.

    Earbuds never stay in my ears; I need a headset because I moved back in with my family and they all go to sleep pretty early...can't have people talking out of my speakers.

    Take a look at a pair of Sony MDR-EX56LP's. Adjustable earpiece sizes, will fit properly in almost any ear. They're comfortable and provide good sound quality to boot.

    Not sure how picky you are on sound but these are quite good and they're very light. I wear glasses myself and have had these on for hours at a time on ventrilo and I barely notice wearing them.
