Thanks: Gave 210, Got 73 | Headphones for glasses wearers?
Hi guys.
Put simply, just got myself some new glasses, and started wearing them again for HD content (to reduce eyestrain) but my large ear warmer style sennheisers crush the side of my head where the headphones sit.
Are there any decent headphones for my needs?
Are the only really suitable ones, the little bud ones that actually go inside your ears? I like to sprawl across my sofa when watching films late at night, so the ones that sit on the back of your neck are also not great, I have tried them.
If the earbud ones are my only option, can you recommend me a decent pair?
I did see some Sennheiser ones on amazon for about £17-20 that are meant to be good, but I lost the link (looking for them tonight)
Thanks for any help  |

CX300's, blinding little headphones, very short cable on them tho so you'll need an extension lead.
got mine from here: http://www.discountdiscs.co.uk/Merch..._Code=porthead
£23.50 delivered within 2 days.
be careful of amazon resellers, i've read there are plenty of fakes floating about on there.

£15.99 Dispatched from Amazon so I guess they are real, I got my cx300's from play, but there isnt any in stock at the moment http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-C...206843&sr=8-15
NO better earphones around for under £16.00 imo

Would this extender cable be ok for them ? (I will plug them into the side of my sony hdtv, with the little green slot) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hama-0001400...7208634&sr=1-1
I would get it from the sellers (£1.75 + p&p)

i got my CX300's for £6.99 from amazon, and they are genuine! now they're going for around £3. BandofBrothers if you have the money, get a pair of CrossRoad MylarOne X3's, they're far, far better than the CX300's and they're $39 delivered (around £19-20)

I have Sennheiser HD555's & the 'extremely comfortable velour ear pads' are fine with glasses.
