Koss WR-40, ultra-light, noise-canceling and a comfortable fit. I got mine
at Radio Shack on sale for around $20, and wish I had bought a second pair.
The also fold up into a nice neat bundle.
They have a very wide band that does not affect eye glasses.

Hello all,
I know headphones seem to come up rather often, but I was curious..
I have been using a $20 pair of Sony MDR-V150s for many years now, but
they are starting to run out of life: part of the plastic band broke
and one of the coverings has split all around, showing the foam
inside. I've been happy with them but I will soon be looking for
another pair of something new. I'll be using them in a wide variety of
situations, everything from listening to music to contesting (cw). I'd
like good performance out of them for listening to music, but great
performance isn't necessary. I wear glasses, so the biggest issue I
have with almost all headphones is that they are comfortable for the
first few hours I wear them, but after 12-24-48 hours, the pinch
between my ears and the arms of my glasses becomes rather painful.
What I'm looking for is something reasonably priced, with decent all
around performance, and able to be comfortably warn for hours of
continuous use. Obviously, earbuds would solve the ear-pinching
problem, but I've never been very impressed with that style of
headphones, but probably because I've never tried good ones that had a
proper fit. Anyway, I was just curious to hear what suggestions you
guys have. Even if it doesn't fit into my description terribly well,
I'll be open to your suggestions.
Thanks!
