I usually fly with my sunglasses on and this particular pair was given
to me as a gift and are the first "good" sunglasses I've ever had.
Thus far, I'd not had them on, but clipped on to my kneeboard. I
pulled them loose and slipped them on. As soon as the earpieces
slipped under the cups on the headset, the whole world got loud
again... I guess the gel seals don't seal that tight around my
glasses... Crap! Once back on the ground, I tried getting the
headset to fit a bit tighter but to no avail. Guess I'm going
sunglass shopping in the near future...


Kevin,

I've seen sport sunglasses that use an elastic strap instead of the usual
hard ear pieces. I wonder if something like that might work better in
conjuction with your headset?

Doesn't sound too appealing to me.. More stuff squeezing my head
isn't something I'd be willing to put up with.


You're not applying a tourniquet here. ;-) All you need is enough pressure
to hold the glasses to your face. I can't imagine that being enough to even
be noticeable, much less uncomfortable.

Best of luck anyway! :-)

Fly Safe,
Steve R.
