This being my first post I’ll open by saying I find reading this forum very interesting, partly for the information about headphones at a level/purchase price above my pay grade (but also other topics). The most expensive pair I’ve owned are the Beyer Dynamic Amiron DT 990 Pro, which I am very happy with as they sound much better than anything I’ve owned previously.

That long winded intro bring me to my question about an annoyance that has dogged me with every pair of headphones I’ve ever owned: Does anyone have a tip or tricks for reducing the sound of rubbing/squeaking caused by head movement when wearing glasses?

Even quite small movements cause some friction between the ear cup cushions and the glasses resulting in annoying sound. This isn’t so bad when listening to music that is loud and full, like much rock or some classical, but I listen to a lot of quiet music, minimal contemporary classical and (true) ambient electronic music (e.g. Eno) and the resulting sound is jarring.

    Happens to me too…but I need to be able to see

    Fortunately once the headphones settle in on my head they don’t rub much. Definitely jarring at first.

    I think it’s worse with my plastic framed glasses than it was with thinner metal frames.
