Hey, my ipod stock headphones have begun to get the infamous static buzz, and i am looking for some new headphones, the thing is I have glasses. Currently I am using Sony MDR- G52 behind the neck earphones, but i find that the things that go over your ear interfere with my glasses arms, and i can't lay down or rest my head on anything as it hurts. The phones even hurt after just listening for a few hours. So, i think behind the neck earphones are out.

I found that the ipod headphones weren't very comfortable eithier, they didn't sit in my ear well, and they kept falling out.

So, can anyone suggest a comfortable headphone that will work well with glasses, but also has sound quality better then the stock buds, and will also stay in the ear while working out? I was thinking the sony MDR-EX71's, my price range is between $10-$50. Anyone know if the MDR-EX81s work well with glasses? Thanks for your help.

81 has that thing that goes around the ears, so they wont work well w/ glasses. Go for SHure E2.

I second the shure e2 or e2c's. You just have a wire around your ear so should not have a problem.

The Shures are a bit out of my price range, of $10-$50. Any other alternatives, if it helps i listen to a lot of rock more then anything else.

Amazon has them for between 60 and 70 if you can add a little more money to it. I just went ahead and ordered a pair yesterday cause I needed new phones and had a similar price range, but decided to go for it.

I know you think they are out of your price range, but I will probably be selling mine soon for about $50 and they come with extra tips and such. I personally wear glasses and i have not had any problems with them (I even wear the wire up and over my ear)

I would highly suggest saving a bit if you have to to get the e2c's if you listen to rock. earphonesolutions said they would match the price of 58.49 including shipping. If you want i could send you the email quote an you can contact them about it.
