Hi everyone! Just got my new iPod and I'd like to upgrade the earphones. From what I've been reading it sounds like the Shure E2c/E3c are what I'm looking for. I have a silly question though. I wear glasses or sunglasses from the moment I get up until the time I go to bed. Will the "over the ear" cords become bothersome? It seems like I'd have to fidget with the cords every time I take my glasses off or put them on. What about you guys/gals that have this problem? The over the ear setup sounds kind of awkward.:confused: Thanks for your input!:)

I wear glasses about half the time and I have no problems with over the ear cords. For the Shure E2 and E3 (which don't have a memory wire), glasses actually help by keeping the cord secure.

I actually use sony EX81's with their over the ear clip. I don't have any problems with glasses, nor do i have problems with my oakley juliets (big arms) so i don't think you should have much trouble with two small cables. The downside that i can think of is if the wire was tight and then you put on your glasses, which may give a tugging feeling when you move your face.
