• What is the comfort of over-ear headphones like compared to on-ear headphones if you wear glasses?

    I find that after 4 or 5 hours my on-ear headphones (Sennheiser Momentum) start to give me some pain where the top of my ear is being squashed against the glasses arm. I'm guessing that over-ear would stop that but not sure if they'd still be uncomfortable or the seal would be bad due to glasses. It's hard to test as the discomfort currently only manifests after a few hours.

    If it is likely to improve the comfort does any have any recommendations for over-ear headphones? Noise cancelling is a must (will mainly be used for flying), wireless a nice bonus. Will be used more for films and TV than music. Cheers

  • For use when flying I'd say get in-ear. On or over don't play nice with sleeping and headrests. I have Bose QC 20 and even when I'm not watching a film, I just leave them in.

  • I did ponder that but I'm not sure how comfortable I'd find them after 12 hours and most of the in-ear noise cancelling ones have the boxes for battery which makes them a bit awkward to use for anything on the go.
