will they feel uncomfortable for someone wearing glasses?

I use a set of neck band 'phones when I'm on my bike - they're the ones that slot into your ears, not the ones that cover the ear, so they don't interfere with glasses.

The sound reproduction is excellent on my set too - they're a budget pair (~£10) but are certainly good enough for cycling.

Try the Koss KSC-35, KSC-75 or KSC-55. They all use the same drivers, and sound amazing for their prices. A lot of audiophiles go crazy with these things, putting them in different enclosures, using different cables, etc. I've got some KSC-75s, they rock. Full, warm sound, lots of bass but not cheap and flabby sounding.

Oh, and the 35s and 75s are clipons, the 75s having an adjustable metal band (covered in a soft plastic) and the 55s are behind the neck. Typically, glasses don't cause any discomfort. Just don't squish both earbands together, let one set on top of the other.

Been Djing for years & ive used all kinds of head-fi, no problems with specs. Sept maybe pushing against my head.

No problemo. I bought some Sennheiser HD600s a year or so back and they pressed on my frames a bit at first. Now I just have a subtle groove in the earpads, which fits my frames perfectly.
