K702 vs DT990

[SpudMaster]

I currently have a pair of AKG K702 headphones which I am happy with the sound. Initially I found them uncomfortable but they have now broken in nicely.

My only real issue with them now is that the ear cushions squeak like mad with the slightest movement of my head on the arms of my glasses which is annoying the say the least.

I understand that the Beyerdynamic DT990 has softer ear cushions so was wondering if anyone could share there experience with them and wearing glasses. I also quite like the idea of the additional bass that the DT990 supposedly has over the K702.

I think the squeak is just the ear cushions against the arms of my glasses. It goes away if I remove my glasses so I'm just wondering if the softer ear cushions of the DT990 with stop this as the cushions on the K702 are quite firm really

Thanks for all the input.

In my case the squeaking is definitely being cause by my glasses and not the headphones themselves as I can reproduce the squeaking sound by simply pressing the arms of my glasses on the ear cushions firms and rubbing them back and forth. Maybe its just something that I will have to learn to live with or try some different ear cushions
