I've recently purchased Ultrasone PRO 750: I found them very comfortable and I have no problems with my glasses (and I also like very much how they sound

). A important factor may also be the thickness of your glasses arms.

thx for your input, yeah i guess the D2000 wouldn't do

With my portable amps (D10 & uDac) the K271 have no bass and really do not live up to their potential. I will swap the opamps on my D10 to the AD8656 (comes with D10), which deliver a bit more current but I don't expect a big improvement. The D4 has a 9v battery and there are other more powerful portable amps which could improve their performance but I haven't heard those combinations. But then you'd just blow past your budget for what could be a failed experiment.

Could you try either of the headphones? You could buy both and return one or both- e.g. J&R is very easy with returns, but you could get much better prices for both at Northern Sound & Light, but I'd feel like a heel returning cans to them.. Better yet, buy & sell used until you're happy.

Sadly Linus Torvalds had laser eye surgery and no longer wears glasses

bump, i cant really try out the headphones first

 

[EugeneK]

I've had sunglasses + AKG K272. No problems there. I don't wear specs. ^.^

 

[jonhapimp]

Looks like the AKGs (Not easy to drive)
Shure SRH840( Mixed feelings about how comfortable they are)
Beyerdynamic DT 770 (Not much comments they look comfortable and supposedly sound good)
are the top three contenders
I think i could get a good price on the Beyerdynamic Dt880(250 ohm i think)
how are they like

I had no problems with glasses and SRH840s.
I found them to be comfortable overall; ear pads were soft and nice, they're just a little heavy.

 

[jonhapimp]

alright
Shure SRH840 vs Beyerdynamic DT 770
Out of those two are the Beyerdynamic Dt880(low impendence version) better

how long can you usually wear them?

 

[stigweard]

They are heavy compared to other headphones, but I don't find the weight of them fatiguing at all. I can wear them for hours at a time without issue. Once I found an adjustment that worked, the weight nearly disappeared, becoming distributed evenly across the band and lifted slightly by the clamping pressure of the cups. I was joking before about buying new frames, but the glasses comfort is going to be entirely subjective based on the frames, your sensitivity, clamping pressure, cup wear, etc... I don't have a problem at all but, as I mentioned before:



the arms aren't thick enough to get in the way. My wife's glasses have arms about as thick, but she takes her glasses off nearly immediately after putting on the 840s. (Balanced by the fact she would rather work blind and listen to them then put them down.)

 

[jonhapimp]

My glasses are really thin, but clamp pressure can **** that up, But it probably could hopefully work fine for me


Anybody have a opinion about the Beyerdynamics

 

[jonhapimp]

I've tried DT660, SRH840 and AKG 272HD while wearing glasses. Out of these, the 272 was by far the most comfortable due to less clamping force and soft pads. The DT660 clamps considerably more than the 272, but the SRH840 was deinitely the worst of them. At least with my glasses, the 840 is a no go for me. Fortunately I rarely need to use my glasses though

Just when I occasionally spend too many hours working overtime on my computer.

Haven't tried the Denon 2000, but I think I've read they don't clamp that much. The DT770 should be worse than the DT660 I assume.

How about supra aural? Like one of the Senn HD25 models? Not my favourite sounding phone, but lot's of people like it.

The Denons are not closed off enough, and the senn HD25 isn't sound i'm looking for which i want really good sounding ones that will last me/satisfy me for at least a year or so
