I wear glasses and I can't get this headset to adjust were it doesn't pinch my ears against them...I'm taking them back and would like some recommendations on a comfortable head set for people that wear glasses...I would prefer it to be usb... Well, I think all new headphones are gonna hurt your ears for a while, and still hurt after wearing them for hours and hours. I also wear glasses and bought a set of Steelsound 5Hv/2's which are now a few years old, and they are pricey, I got mine at a 100 bucks on sale! But I have prefect sound, its been said, I can hear a T-Rat fart at a hundred yards My problem is the POS onboard Reltec sound card I have on my Evga P55 FTW MOBO, that loves to drop sound whenever it damnwell feels like it hahaha...
