So I want to buy a new headset to replace my current configuration of a set of sony earphones with a headset that goes around my neck.

I've been eyeing some of the logitech headsets but after reading many reviews of headsets that go around the head that are uncomfortable when wearing glasses, i decided to not get one of the logitech ones.

I've been looking at ones which have a smaller earpice but am unsure of what's good out there. Any recommendations from RFDers that wear glasses? Thanks.

Well, you have two choices.

1. A superaural (sp?) headset that essentially rests on the outside of your ears, instead of going around them. If you find a loose enough one, it will be mostly be support by the head band and shouldn't put much if any pressure on your ears, and thus the glasses.

An example of this would be the Plantronics .Audio 330:

Or the DSP 400 http://www.plantronics.com/north_america/en_US/products/cat640035/cat1430032/prod440042

2. A circumaural headset that has large soft pads that encircle and cup your ears. That may be uncomfortable for a glass wearer if the pads put any pressure on your ears.

An example of this would be what I have.. a Steelseries 5H V2

The ones I have are incredibly comfortable since the pads are very soft (made of a felt-like material instead of leather-like) and do not put any pressure on my ears. They are rather expensive though..

I think hes referring to those 'behind the neck-around each ear' kindof headset that really suck (especially the logitech ones), not the regular over the head ones
