Very uncomfortable w the Edition XS and 6XX, no problem w Aeon Closed X and R70x. I find IEM w weird ear hook shape to be more annoying w glasses than hp.

No way you just used a headphone to explain cost....

I had some glasses with thickish temples and temple tips which caused discomfort and sometimes pain after awhile. Decided to switch to this brand called Silhouette. They make some ridiculously ultra thin eye wear, I have absolutely no problems wearing headphones now, even on-ears are okay. The temples and temple tips are basically just a wire almost.

Yeah I'd say. But I grew up with a headset since I played video games with them and glasses. So I have thousands of hours with the feeling.
Sounds like it would be! I know they make glasses that are designed to be worn with motorcycle helmets and pilot headsets.

Interesting, did it take a while to get used to? I just rigged up a pair of my reading glasses to one of the headbands for a pair of goggles and that is drastically more comfortable.

I have ray-ban frames which are very tall but flat horizontally (if that makes sense) and they sit quite flat against my head and thus don’t cause much issue. The very end of the arms where it curls in at the back so press into my head a bit when using my 560s but it’s not too bad.
My skinny head causes more of an issue with my 560s because they tend to slowly slip towards the back of my head and I have to periodically pull them forward. Might be partially due to the glasses arms but I think it’s mostly my head size / shape. Either way it’s not uncomfortable, more so annoying.

One of the reasons I enjoy on-ear cans so much.

I wear glasses and you get used to it. I find it helps to move the glasses off the bridge of my nose slightly

I wear glasses and headphones at the same time. I do use some of the most comfortable headphones ever, which are the HD 700 and the Aeons. Changing pads on other headphones can help sometimes.

I just realized a visit to the doctor here in the US without insurance will cost you an HD600.

I think I’d be an Etymotic because I like isolation and being to myself.

Etymotic ER2SE, people who understand and really matter will love it. Normal people will get bored or will think it will hurt inside.

Wouldn't you still feel the pads around your ear?

What if to make it more difficult to use pads to distinguish... You're kept blindfolded for 3 minutes tops and then you start the listening all in a vacuum of stillness... You may notice one or two but it will be more difficult to try looking out for what headphone it is

I would love to somehow blind test headphones. I'm not a dogmatic person and would love to eat crow and save some money by selling the LCD-5 and just chilling with HD660. But there's things it does that the 660 can't (at least sighted).
The downfall of headphone blind testing is that you would feel the pads. And I'd be able to know which brand is which by the pads haha (Hifiman is egg shaped, Sennheiser is oval, DCA is "D" shaped, Beyer is circular, and Audeze is rectangular with lots of cushion).

Meze Elite. I really am great but many people can’t see it.

It's just self jerking amongst audiofools to make themselves feel good about their ridiculous purchases... Me included

Basically trying to justify pricing by using that as a quality indicator
