I am thinking about buying the HD555 headphones to use with my computer. I am currently using the PX100's and they work very well for me. The HD555's are circumaural and I wonder how comfortable they are for someone who wears glasses. Anyone here wear glasses while using the HD555's that can tell me about this? Thanks.

I used to have these and wore really thick glasses, they didn't interfere at all.

They are comfortable with and without glasses. They feel light on the head and don't get sweaty.

They are a little clampy but I don't wear glasses so I don't know if that effects the overall comfort at all, but they are definitely a headphone I could wear for hours without discomfort.

I find that the 555s are very comfy.

i was afraid myself about the glasses issue but they are really comfortable with or without glasses. in contrast with, say, the grados

I have HD555 and I try many of fullsize and only which is better in comfort for me is beyerdynamic(dt880).

They are really comfortable. I used to spend even like 8-10h in a row in them, and felt no pressure, no heat, they are simply perfect comfort-wise.

Sometimes I forget I am wearing my 555`s......nuff said.

I have glasses, and owned the HD555 for a short time. They clamped too much for my taste, and pressed the legs of my glasses to my head. I didn't found them comfortable.
But then, I have a big head....

I wear glasses, and my HD 555's still feel comfortable over them. They do clamp a bit--but just enough to feel secure and "well-coupled" to my head. Even modded, they don't get very hot even after long listening sessions.

I have both the PX 100 and the HD 555.

If you like the PX 100, I do not recommend buying the HD 555. At least without somehow trying it out first. The sound signatures are completely different. The PX 100 is a very warm headphone with ample mid-bass and lighter highs. The HD 555 is much more clinical and brighter-sounding. It has the advantages of having farther-extending deep bass, better detail, and a good soundstage. But it is not a very fun headphone to listen to.

I can only tolerate listening to the HD 55 with absurd EQing. I've basically written them off.

So as someone used to the PX100 sound signature, the HD 555 was a very disappointing purchase. It is very comfortable, though.

So PM me to dispose of them.

I guess it depends on the size of one's head, becuse I didn't find any clamping force at all. And I was first owner.

I find them very comfortable. No objections to their fit whatsoever. Used them with and without glasses.
