I wear specs and it seems that its very diffiult to put on these.

Any suggestion to mod it in some way. I understand that we can get the sportapros headband but i think it look rather ugly and dun looks confortable to me. Any possible way to enclose it in some cheap headphones enclosure...

Some guys just get the flexible metal head-band from an el-cheapo throwaway headphone. I've seen it and it works very well.

Strange, I wear glasses too and I've never had any comfort problems with the ksc75 with both my pairs of specs.

I share the same sentiments too. I thought the clips only cling onto your ear and not over the spectacles loop?

I dont have any problems with mine and I wear specs too. Maybe you can try bending the "end feet tips" of your specs so that they are more snug towards the back of your heads?

Maybe take a photo of your ear+specs+ksc75?

"I share the same sediments too."

Surely you mean sentiments? Sediment I think is whatever is left at the bottom of a glass of dirty water. :D
