we should all do a laser eye surgery for the best audio quality
But will it make your lows higher?
@@lachlanlikesathing it will make me high, i guess
just get rid of the eye, it is distracting for listening audio.
I wax my head bald to maximize the seal around my ears.
I can picture monocles making a big comeback in the audiophile market.
2:45 where it actually starts
You aren’t wrong but I’d much prefer to find a headphone that works with my glasses. I do wear thick plastic frames. That said I do not work in the headphone selling business where it makes total sense for you to find something that works with everything. Also I’m right there with you when it comes to contacts. I even struggle to get eye drops in my eyes.
I chose the perfect frame without realizing it. I recently got a new frame and they were just large enough to cause extra light refraction and give me unfathomable headaches. I’m talking nauseous eye ball hurting migraine inducing frames. The mere thought of those glasses gives me a headache. They had a wide leg that did interfere with my headphones. So I went back to my optometrist and discussed the problem and we with basically the same frames I was already used to. I did notice that Sennheiser HD 6 series cans are the least affected due to the narrow ear cup shape. I do wear contacts but many times at night when I know I won’t be leaving the house I remove my lenses. It”s nice to know that my glasses aren’t affecting the sound. I do find that the leg of my frames makes an indent in my Beyerdynamic velour pads so I’m careful not to wear those too long when wearing glasses. Hopefully my glasses won’t interfere with my Focal Elear pads. I plan in trying some Dekoni Sheepskins but I don’t like wearing glasses with leather pads due to the indentation the glasses make in the leather.
I've always preferred the look of thicker frames and just dealt with their incompatibility with bigger headphones, but a few years ago I came across Proof Eyewear's "Reed Wood Rx" frames. They're thick wooden frames around the lenses in a squared off wayfarer sort of style, but transition to a thin metal about half way down the arms in a manner I found to be very headphones friendly, at least for my skull shape. Best of both worlds.
I've been meaning to do a video version of my blog post that was about the same thing. Now I will have to re-think it. Cheers for this.
Hello, can you review BASN G1?
any tips bro i use steel series artics 5. i have had my glasses for over a year, but through this time the arm on the right side has come lose and the screw does not tighten properly due to the arm having pressure from the headset. it feels so uncomfortable, feels like im looking through my glasses sideways even though they are straight still.
im going to be getting a new pair soon from specsavers and would you have any recommendations. my eyes are bad for site so results in my lenses being thick
i watched the entire video but still dont know whats better
Hello! 2020 is now. 6 years ago you said that your favorite iem is sony 7550. please tell me what are your favorite iem now?
I waited one damn year for this... THANKS!
About how much were the glasses?
I dont remember subbing but I'll finish watching dis
So what you're saying is, don't break the seal
And don't cross the streams
Only one of the "seal-break"s is a real thing.
Would you generally say open back headphones are less sensitive to glasses compared to closed ones? I noticed this for myself but I'm not quite sure
I would say that it all depends on the design of the headphone and it seems difficult to predict. Headphones are designed to expect a particular damping (compliance) of the air between the driver and the ear, and it depends on the headphone how it will react to changes in damping. And of course the shape of the ear pads and your skull will be a factor. The innerfidelity article interesting in terms of the variety of results: www.innerfidelity.com/content/effect-glasses-headphone-frequency-response
Yes, open are open anyways so it shouldnt change the sound much on most open backs. Closed need to be closed from both sides.
I try asking this on google and they offer the other way around response.
Sound silly when actually a good pair of glasses is where the solution starts and not the headsets.
The Logitech UE 6000 and probably the UE 9000 are very sensitive to glasses frames. I can hear a huge difference even with thin frames in bass response.
Those glasses really do look great on you. 👍🏽
Thanks for the new business idea :P
Ohmygod, that lachlan is back lol I always love that part.
I hate when the headphones squeeze my ears between the frame and the headphone pad. I use titanium thin glasses and that seems the best.
Lachlan is back!
I wear IEM's because glasses just make over/on ear so uncomfortable.
for Christmas I'm getting glasses Not cuz it looks good is becuz I watch many yt vids so this really helped
Oakley Tincup. Flat frame sides
こんにちは！日本人のファンです！いつも楽しく見ています！笑 僕はメガネつけないんで教官はできませんが、とてもいい動画だと思いました！
Also, are you going to be reviewing those IE 40 PROs? I'm considering them and would love to know how you think of them!
I will eventually, they are surprisingly good!
@@lachlanlikesathing 返信ありがとうございます！That's awesome! We'll be waiting. Keep up the incredible work!
@@shuusoku8093 I have them, do you have any questions?
Thank you for this 🙏
i cant be the only one who thought the thumbnail said "glasses for pedophiles
i dont even wear glasses. why am i watching lul
is it just me or the video and audio aren't in sync.
Hi Iachlan, how are you and what did you have for breakfast today?
I’ve accepted defeat and just stick to IEMs🤷🏼♂️
Iam mostly using in ears Cuz of this
glasses for headphones are such a bummer. And so are companys for glasses. Every 2-3 years or so when i need new glasses, i need to pay a ton of money extra, wich makes no sense at all. I m using the same glasses for like...for ever. Since they are super paper thin titanium thingys and every other i try are bad on headphones. The fun part is: if i want new ones, i pay MORE for not wanting new glasses. I could save money buy getting brand new ones because they allways sell them as like a deal thing. But if i only want new glasses for my existing ones, wich in theory should cost LESS because i m not buying new glasses alltogether... i end up paying more... its complete BS
Because looking cool is not a priority, I just rest the arms on the tops of the ear pads. Pixie mucus sounds promising though 🧚♀️
IEM
Ello
I wear my glasses over my over ear glasses, not ideal. I am thinking of converting an old pair to attach to my head phones.
My new frames I liked them but my mum really should have taken me there in person... sigh oh well... but yeah.
I really want to buy wireless headphones. But I can't wear them with my glasses and my beanie so wired it is😂
I miss your long hair
so you should have outside headphones, inside headphones, outside glasses, inside glasses.. well then
BLACKER BLACKS
