Hi there,
like I wrote in the title of the topic I would like to know how comfortable would be wearing some over the ear IEMs while having some bars on the top of the ears.
I ask this because I'm tempted of buying the Rock-it Sounds R50 but I'm afraid that I would not be able to wear them, because I need glasses most of the times.
 
Thanks in advance.

should be fine, its just a wire, i felt guides are like a second glasses, took mine off and now it way more comfy

It's OK though most of the time you need to place the cable underneath the temple of your glasses, it is not a must but I find that more comfortable

I wear my IE80s over-ear (no ear-guides on) and comfortably have my glasses on when I listen to music. I find them perfectly compatible, both when stationary and moving, at least up to about 5 hours.
 
My glasses sit neatly on top or just to the side of the IE80 cable over my ear, and I can even wear them like that on long flights (though I take off my glasses on those, most times). It kinda feels like it's not there.
 
Looks like the R50 has a memory wire of some sort, so it might not be so easy, but I would give it a try anyway. It's not a big deal. Good luck!

It's depend which IEMs you are buying like GR07, Sony XBA series, UE900, Westone 4R are easy to wear with glasses and B&W C5, Klipsch Custom 3 are hard to wear with glasses, R-50 are fairly easy to wear.

How comfortable is wearing over the ear IEM's while being outside and often need to put on / take off your sunglasses?
It might sound as a trivial issue but I seriously consider getting a pair of around the ear IEM's and would like to know if they will be as handy as the classic cable down ones.
 
Thanks
