Sigh.
 
I just got a pair of K550s that I ordered from Headroom, and found out that the arms of my glasses break the seal needed for proper bass response.
 
I got them to use for recreation as well as recording vocals in my studio, so I may keep them just for the studio, where their isolation characteristics would come in handy.
 
I honestly would never have thought that my glasses would get in the way, but there you go (and we're not talking Roy Orbison glasses, either). My old Denon AH2000s, rest their souls, never had issue with them.
 
So this experience has made me come here to ask others that are sight impared:
 
What are comparable headphones that won't interfere with glasses?
 
Appreciate your help!
