Looking for a headset with large ear cups

Currently I am using a Plantronics Gamecom headset & the sound is fine but it gets uncomfortable after about an hour while I am wearing my glasses. Do any of you use a headset while wearing glasses? If so, what do you recommend? The PC 350 headsets ear cups look large but I wonder if they would still put pressure on my ears.See More

"Yes I totally agree, Cisco makes great business products but piss poor consumer products. I have only had the best of luck with the old Linksys equipment which is much more configurable and higher quality than the new Cisco consumer equipment. Yes,…"

"Exactly the same here. The poorer parts of town are getting fiber, whilst over here, where the people who are still employed live, the part that has a very low crime rate, all I can get is cable. And not very good cable, either."

"if you plan on doing any heavy gaming, then idk of any wireless cards that provide the bandwidth you get from ur network fully...may just be better to have a rly good router with wireless capabilities but also LAN ready."

"You need a separate ADSL modem. And doesn't BT already offer Fiber which does need a separate box? I thought they did. I know Virgin Media does."

"Looked into Apples Airport before, read it didn't play nice wirelessly with Xbox 360, anybody ever try the Netgear RangeMax WNR3500?"

"When you buy an ADSL router here, you have 4 ports, and the RJ11 connector for your broadband line. If I just went out and bought an Airport Extreme, can I just plug this into a BT broadband enabled phone line and connect, or do you need a separate…"

"But... there appears to be no RJ11, ADSL line output.. so basically is this just acting as a wireless access point... when all modern adsl routers are wireless??? I'm talking about BT tyoe ADSL connection rather than cable connections. Or..…"

"Personally, I prefer Apple's routers. Apple Airport Extreme is absolutely brilliant if you need an HDD and a printer shared across your network. They are also very easy to set up and maintain. If you have a Mac, some extra features are added to…"
