Hey there,
It's time to get some new glasses and I was wondering "are there headphone friendly glasses?". Now, when I searched for that, I always ended up with finding glass-friendly headphones. Seems like the majority rather cares about their glasses instead of headphones.
Now for me glasses are just a piece of metal with glass in it.
Features are:
-You can see through them and they correct eyesight
-They look good
While headphones are far more complex and the brand actually makes a big difference of quality, regarding played sound, recorded sound and durability.
So changing headphones is not an option for me.
Now the price for glasses doesn't really matter much as I am privileged to have a good health insurance which takes care of most or all of it.
However the problem is always: The frame of the glasses is never really headphone friendly and you either need to wear them "wrong" (over the headphone in some way) or they hurt after a while / dig into your skull, especially with closed headphones with some pressure. I love the design of the oakley glasses, but just looking at the ear region of the frames make it hurt
I almost gave up my search when I was pointed towards GUNNARs, a company which makes glasses for gamers. Problem there however is:
1. They aren't available at my place, and I don't think it's a good idea to order it via internet
2. They support seems to be horrible (live chat on US page connects you with bot spamming you with automatic answers)
So I am wondering: If you wear glasses - what are your experiences? Do you look for glass-friendly headphones? You found some glasses which actually work with high pressure headphones? If yes, can you name the brand and model?
Did you find any do it yourself workarounds?
