hey everyone,
i'm looking for a new set of headphones). my current ones are in-ear sennheiser cx500, which I know are not headphones, but given the improvement in the portable headphones field, i thought i could get myself a good pair.
please note: the headphones should be "glasses friendly"
I'm currently leaning towards Harman/Kardon BT model. from what i have read they are comfortable, produce good sound and their BT capability is great. another set I'm interested in is Bowers&Wilkins P3. i understand that the memory foam works nicely, so i thought maybe it could adjust to allow for the glasses?
is the bluetooth even worth it, or should i just go for a cabled pair?
anyway, i'm opened for suggestions. this is what i want from a set, so i would very much appreciate any recommendations based on the following points:
*** in regard to the BT - i would like to hear people's input if it even worth the money, and whether or not a cable version is better (though using headphones without cables seems quite awesome).
thank you very much in advance

- price: up to $300. if there is a set that's worth another $20 than ok, but not more than that.
- foldable, preferably into a hard case (though a soft case is not a deal breaker)
- full, around the ear is preferable (i think it isolates outside noise better?). on ear (as you see i like the p3) is ok if it's good
- glasses friendly - i wear glasses all the time, so i want headphones that i can wear and enjoy. i don't want to have to pause every now and then to ease the pressure (i do not want another in-ear set).
- Bluetooth support, preferably with apt-x support. given, of course, that the BT in the headphones is good - range is not that important (will be paired with laptop which is in front of me, or my player which sits in my pocket / backpack). battery life is important - i don't want to have to charge it every hour. i do prefer a set that has a built in mic so i can use it to answer calls as well. oh, and of course - good sound.
