Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice on finding headphones that won't hurt my ears and nose bridge when I wear my glasses. I have a decent headset right now, but just like my previous ones, the over-ear design puts pressure on my glasses, which leads to discomfort after a while. Does anyone have suggestions for affordable alternatives?

You might want to check out in-ear monitors (IEMs) if you're open to spending a bit more. They're popular among pro gamers and provide great sound without the pressure on your ears. Just be cautious about those over-the-ear parts; they might not work well with glasses.
I switched to wired earbuds since they don't press on your ears like traditional headsets do. They might be a good option for you!
That sounds nice! Do you have any recommendations for good and comfortable ones?
Consider trying soft ear cushions instead. Look for fabric ones instead of hard memory foam or fake leather, as they can reduce pressure without being too pricey. I had a similar issue before, and with time, my old HyperX Cloud II got more comfortable. My new Astro A50s are great too, but they are on the expensive side!
Those are definitely pricey, and I agree that everything that pushes on my ears tends to get really uncomfortable fast.
Do you know any specific IEMs that are comfy? I've seen some with awkward designs that could clash with glasses.
