after a while is so uncomfortable.  I wonder why a company hasn't come up with something to help with this, as I'm sure I'm not he only one wearing glasses and wearing headphones for long periods of time?
 
after a while the "arms" of the glasses really start to hurt the sides of my head.

My HD 250's are pretty comfortable with my glasses on. Just had to loosen the headband a bit so they didn't have my skull in a death grip.

duh - you don't need glasses to hear.

 OH LORD!!!   Im busting a gut here.

I was thinking that to Beag,

Have you seen them huge cushoins on the cans they are using on the X-Factor.  I think they are the new Sony Head Phones.

Not sure how good they would be for mixing though

I only use glasses to drink beer.  The headphones usually don't get in the way of that...

I'm guessing here but I think the glasses go on your eyes and the 'phones on the ears.
 
Thats how I'd play it.
 
Oh, I have to put the glasses on first otherwise I can never find my 'phones.

[hand waving to the riff raff...] 

beepster - the HD280's aren't bad and I can wear them longer than most, but they still hurt my head after a while.  the most comfortable ones I've ever worn are the HD515's but they're not for critical listening - they're for pleasure listening only. 

of course, pleasure listening is what I'm doing at work and that would help, but I also don't want to leave expensive headphones laying around at work either.

Mike - no, I don't watch a lot of TV, but that might be good with bigger cushions.

the cushions on the HD515's are fabric and that's one thing that helps, I believe, because they're not "plastic" or "imitation leathery type stuff that wraps the cushion.  pliable as they are, they're still not as pliable as woven fabric.

of course, the HD515's even if they were made for critical listening, tend to break easily on me.  I have gone thru 2 pair and have not replaced the last ones.  they tend to break at the plastic part where the head gear meets the ear piece.

How about these Beags?

Woo hoo! I'm not riff raff... in this thread. ;-p

But yeah... problem is when you're dealing with true closed backed cans they gotta be tight. Senns seem to have a good rep for not crushing one's noodle.

And yeah... I screwed up the model number. Bleach fumes are something something potato... derp.
