Sunglasses + ANR headset
Does anyone have a good idea for sunglasses that will fit under a Lightspeed Zulu without messing up the ANR 
I have some Ray Bans right now, but they stick out in the back of the headset and totally mess up the ANR

Anything with temples- that is, all sunglassses- will increase the noise a little bit when used with any headset, any design. I have a friend who uses earplugs under Zulus because he wants the absolute best noise reduction he can possibly get. I use $20 Foster Grant Ironmans from Target, and I am a happy customer. Don't get too fussy about all these devices. All airplanes make noise and all headsets have problems of one kind or another- you are going to hear some noise no matter what you do.

I know a guy who has a pair that fits perfectly under his Zulus - I'll give him a call and find out for you.
EDIT:
He has a pair of Vedalo HDs. http://www.vedalohd.com/
Think he has these http://www.vedalohd.com/product.aspx?id=97 but I'm not sure.
Hope this helps.

Titanium spring temples
I'd recommend glasses without hinges, instead with very thin springy temples. Typically made from a titanium alloy, Maui Jim and Serengeti both have models.
The temple-piece is very thin and flexible, and shouldn't interfere with an ANR headset hardly at all. (they fit beautifully under my passive headset).

I am developing a visor to solve the problems of using sunglasses with headsets. There is a prototype and provisional patent. Currently I am looking for feed back to see if it is a viable product. If anyone is interested please visit www.headsetvisor.com , check it out and complete the survey. Any input is appreciated.
