Default Best Headset for Comfor t-Esp. w/ Sunglasses

The other "best headset" threads are closed and I didn't find my answer. Out of lightspeed Zulu's, Bose A20's, and David Clark Pro X's, or qc25 w/ uflymike (once out), which brings about the least bit of discomfort with sunglasses worn underneath? My cartilage kills me on long flights with the cheap pincers around my head I have now. Would the in ear headsets provide even more comfort, comparatively? I really need something with good ANR that won't squeeze my ears so hard between my shades. Any input is appreciated!

Been wearing uflymike for 12 years. Love them. Very light, very comfortable. I wear glasses all the time. Highly recommend.

It really depends on the kind of flying that you're doing, doesn't it?

The headsets all have sufficient noise cancelling, sooo not really. Looking for the most comfortable to wear for extended periods, especially with sunglasses on or underneath, regardless of the flying being done.

Thank you! I feel like I have it narrowed down to waiting for the Ufly/qc25's or the Pro X's... thanks to kind people like you that give feedback from wearing them!
