Hi all I need some headphone help

I have a pair of Razer Orca's at work and I can wear them for hours with no problem razerzone, which I listen music with to drown out the office noise.

So I got a set of Logitech G35's just last week for gaming at home
They sound flippen awesome, even better than the orca, the virtual surround sound is great
But I cant use them for more that 30 minutes at a time because I have glasses
I have pulled, pushed and shifted just about every thing on the headset with no luck.
They are killing me!

I don't want to buy another set of orca's for home as well, can anyone recommend a good set that is tailored for glasses?

I wear glasses the second I wake up till the second I got to bed everyday and I have no problem with my pair of CM Storm Sirus. I wear them about 8 hours +- a day. They are not made for people wearing glasses just saying I have no problem wearing them while having my glasses on.

I use G35's with no problems what so ever. I think its a combination of earphones and frame size/shape.

Agreed with this.

OP look at getting yourself open ear/on ear head phones instead of closed ear.

Once again, do you wear glasses, no point in telling me they have no problems if you are not wearing glasses?

Was looking at them just now, problem is, you buy a set for $$$ and then realise you cannot use them, then have to try another set for $$$ and hope for the best.

That's why to avoid the problem entirely you get a open ear set.

You won't need to try anything else, guaranteed. :)

And you realize the issue with the G35's is not audio quality etc but comfort?

Let's assume for a minute that everyone commenting here wears glasses and can read.

I disagree. It's not about open/closed. It's about ear cup padding. I have explained before that the Corsair Vengeance 1500 follows the design of Sennheiser HD 5xx. Perhaps the most comfortable headphones ever, and their velour padding, which Corsair copied, is a winner for glasses.

And no, I do not own Corsair Vengeance 1500, but have thoroughly tested them against my old Sennie HD 595s and current HD 650s in terms of comfort for glasses wearing.
