I've been wearing glasses with my A20 and with the X before them. I dont have any problems but I choose temples that are relatively flat and flexible so they won't interfere. My hearing is more important to me than being fashionable. I tried in-ear types and they irritated my ears (I'm older and have hair in my ears). My two cents though and to each their own!

Couldn’t agree more. I have had glasses since I was 12, no problems with the ear seals as long as my frames flat. I too value my hearing.

I was worried about the seal in over the ear NC headphones like the A20 or using a nflightmic with my QC35s. Don't forget you can just "flip" your glasses frame earpiece up. It tilts the sunglasses/normal glasses, just looks a little funny.

I wear proflights and love them. But I have ran into a decent amount of people that don’t find them comfortable

Haven’t heard many positives towards the pro’s but noise canceling is important to me. Not ruling out the CA’s though but any advice is appreciated. Only want to make the investment once. TIA
Look at different sun glasses. I would put good sun glasses up there with a good headset in importance.

Do polarized sunglasses work or should we go non polarized?

Non-polarized for most electrically heated windshields.

Polarized glasses can also make it more difficult to spot other aircraft.
