Sunglasses for remote audio hn headphones?

[seth]

My headphone pads are showing indentation from sunglass arms plus comfort, plus possible air gap. The only sunglasses I see are the $160 ombraz. Any other options out there?

Thanks!

There are some 3M safety glasses that have very flat arms/temples. Available with various lenses. I've used these on a couple jobs filming in labs (I knew ahead of time, so brought my own safety glasses). Swing by a good hardware store. Cheap, too. Here's one example.  https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b00050518/

 

And pilot glasses, which are largely designed to fit under headsets...including the one RA bases their HN headphones on, it looks like. One online supplier (that a pilot friend pointed me to): https://flyingeyesoptics.com/pages/sunglasses

When you get the chance Jim could you edit your post with the right link for the pilot glasses? I'm interested in the latter (and - at the moment - both links are for the safety glasses).

D'oh! Sorry. Done.

The most flexible temple pieces on sunglasses that I've tried are the ESS Crossbow Suppressor frames. You can also try the Revision Sawfly frames.

Cheers Jim, a good selection there. I may well look into picking up a pair of their Bono model.

Funny how in so many years of wearing headphones I've never considered this has been addressed!

I'm guessing those are both sunglasses designed for shooting ranges? Good idea.
