[CQ-Contest] GLASSES & HEADPHONES

[S. Markowski Jr.]

I've been wearing glasses for 20 years now.  95% of my operating time I 
use my headphones...... (Heil Pro-Set Plus, and before those the 
Micro-Pro).  Never had problems with headphones pushing on my eye 
glasses arms, or any other part of the frame.  And,  I could never me in 
the classification of having a small head!  Maybe try another 
headset..... I used to get a small amount of "head squeeze" when the 
Pro-Set was new, but I guess I have them broken- in fairly well now!
Good Luck and 73,

If I had two pairs, one with an arm on one side and the other with the arm on the other side, I could swap them occasionally, and cut in half the time that either ear has to endure this discomfort.
