View Full Version : Earphones with "Over the Ear" cords ???
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.
