Eyeglasses and Headsets - Comfort?
I am looking to purchase a headset designed for someone who wears eyeglasses.

I have found internet lists of such headsets. However, when I go to the manufacturers websites and view descriptions and specs, such a feature is never mentioned. Actually I did fine one, however this headset is no longer sold.

Anyone know of such a headset? I play my games on PC only. Thanks.

Plenty of them.
Most over the ear headsets don't have issues with glasses

Headset wise I like various HyperX Cloud II and Alpha as I find them comfortable even when wearing my glasses. I have switched the earpads though to thirdparty Velour earpads. The pleather/leather types as they don't breath.

I'm not an audiophile and in my 40's I can't tell the difference between these and Audiophile £500+ headphones.

You could also find a place where they make lenses for the specific headset you want
I have a pair of prescription lenses on my HP G2 that fits over the headset lenses works perfectly
This is where I got mine

This sounds like a job for Pince-Nez glasses honestly. They just clip on the nose, circumventing the problem of the arms interfering with the headset, because there are no arms on the glasses. I never wore them to know exactly how comfortable they are, but I assume if they are good enough for the President of the United States[www.loa.org], that they are good enough for you.

Alternatively earbuds also circumvent this problem.

Thanks for the responses. The suggestions are things I was not aware of or never considered. Good info. Cheers.

don't buy any headset that have synthetic leather for earpads. those things are nasty and will flake. especially in summer if you don't have ac.

I'm mostly using a an airpods max. during flights to visit family, I'm wearing it for 5-12 hours at a time and never felt any discomfort but other overear headphones ( even expensive from bose sennheiser etc. ) were not comfortable. after less than an hour I would have severe headaches from the from uncomfortably pressing my head and glasses made it worse.
