we should all do a laser eye surgery for the best audio quality

[@lachlanlikesathing]

But will it make your lows higher?

[@eiffelwong1]

@@lachlanlikesathing it will make me high, i guess

[@EnnTomi1]

just get rid of the eye, it is distracting for listening audio.

[@airwilliam24]

I wax my head bald to maximize the seal around my ears.

I can picture monocles making a big comeback in the audiophile market.

You aren’t wrong but I’d much prefer to find a headphone that works with my glasses. I do wear thick plastic frames. That said I do not work in the headphone selling business where it makes total sense for you to find something that works with everything. Also I’m right there with you when it comes to contacts. I even struggle to get eye drops in my eyes.

[@Assimilator702]

I chose the perfect frame without realizing it. I recently got a new frame and they were just large enough to cause extra light refraction and give me unfathomable headaches. I’m talking nauseous eye ball hurting migraine inducing frames. The mere thought of those glasses gives me a headache. They had a wide leg that did interfere with my headphones. So I went back to my optometrist and discussed the problem and we with basically the same frames I was already used to. I did notice that Sennheiser HD 6 series cans are the least affected due to the narrow ear cup shape. I do wear contacts but many times at night when I know I won’t be leaving the house I remove my lenses. It”s nice to know that my glasses aren’t affecting the sound. I do find that the leg of my frames makes an indent in my Beyerdynamic velour pads so I’m careful not to wear those too long when wearing glasses. Hopefully my glasses won’t interfere with my Focal Elear pads. I plan in trying some Dekoni Sheepskins but I don’t like wearing glasses with leather pads due to the indentation the glasses make in the leather.

I've always preferred the look of thicker frames and just dealt with their incompatibility with bigger headphones, but a few years ago I came across Proof Eyewear's "Reed Wood Rx" frames. They're thick wooden frames around the lenses in a squared off wayfarer sort of style, but transition to a thin metal about half way down the arms in a manner I found to be very headphones friendly, at least for my skull shape. Best of both worlds.

I've been meaning to do a video version of my blog post that was about the same thing. Now I will have to re-think it. Cheers for this.

[@it5official484]

i cant be the only one who thought the thumbnail said "glasses for pedophiles

[@metal571]

So what you're saying is, don't break the seal

[@lachlanlikesathing]

And don't cross the streams

[@Siberius-]

Only one of the "seal-break"s is a real thing.

I dont remember subbing but I'll finish watching dis

[@foravidayy4088]

for Christmas I'm getting glasses Not cuz it looks good is becuz I watch many yt vids so this really helped

[@harrystresslevel]

i dont even wear glasses. why am i watching lul

[@godofhope]

The Logitech UE 6000 and probably the UE 9000 are very sensitive to glasses frames. I can hear a huge difference even with thin frames in bass response.

[@perryplays5569]

any tips bro i use steel series artics 5. i have had my glasses for over a year, but through this time the arm on the right side has come lose and the screw does not tighten properly due to the arm having pressure from the headset. it feels so uncomfortable, feels like im looking through my glasses sideways even though they are straight still.
im going to be getting a new pair soon from specsavers and would you have any recommendations. my eyes are bad for site so results in my lenses being thick
i watched the entire video but still dont know whats better

[@ВикторТурий]

Hello! 2020 is now. 6 years ago you said that your favorite iem is sony 7550. please tell me what are your favorite iem now?

[@trellusg]

Those glasses really do look great on you. 👍🏽

[@phixi0n]

I wear IEM's because glasses just make over/on ear so uncomfortable.

[@ThunderKat]

I try asking this on google and they offer the other way around response.
Sound silly when actually a good pair of glasses is where the solution starts and not the headsets.

glasses for headphones are such a bummer. And so are companys for glasses. Every 2-3 years or so when i need new glasses, i need to pay a ton of money extra, wich makes no sense at all. I m using the same glasses for like...for ever. Since they are super paper thin titanium thingys and every other i try are bad on headphones. The fun part is: if i want new ones, i pay MORE for not wanting new glasses. I could save money buy getting brand new ones because they allways sell them as like a deal thing. But if i only want new glasses for my existing ones, wich in theory should cost LESS because i m not buying new glasses alltogether... i end up paying more... its complete BS

[@BurstLimitKL]

About how much were the glasses?

[@rez3594]

Iam mostly using in ears Cuz of this

[@HiFiInsider]

is it just me or the video and audio aren't in sync.

[@landocal0]

I hate when the headphones squeeze my ears between the frame and the headphone pad. I use titanium thin glasses and that seems the best.

[@antoinep9733]

Because looking cool is not a priority, I just rest the arms on the tops of the ear pads. Pixie mucus sounds promising though 🧚‍♀️

[@creatorbydefault]

Thank you for this 🙏

[@spellchanger1169]

I wear my glasses over my over ear glasses, not ideal. I am thinking of converting an old pair to attach to my head phones.

[@tsuriranpu]

I really want to buy wireless headphones. But I can't wear them with my glasses and my beanie so wired it is😂

My new frames I liked them but my mum really should have taken me there in person... sigh oh well... but yeah.
