Are m40xs comfortable?

How are they with glasses? Just worried because the beats I use now are horribly uncomfortable.

Very. I am using them right now. They dont feel right around your ears. They will be great.

This is how nice they are.

They don't use memory foam though, so I would guess that the foam won't be very compliant with glasses, so I doubt they would be terribly comfortable, especially since the ATH-M line is known to some people to be fairly uncomfortable, due to the somewhat high clamping force. Since you have glasses, I would stay away from them if possible, at least unless you have somewhere you could try them before you buy them (or buy them on amazon, and return them if they aren't comfortable...)

Yeah I agree with this. I have not tried them with glasses at all. I just did and they suck.

Can you recommend any under $100, that's good for gaming and glasses?

I can try. I haven't spent anything close to $100 for headphones recently at all, so I haven't been researching it. 

 

Now, IMO, your best bet would actually be to get IEMs. I know, there is the whole thing about closed back headphones having a small sound stage, and not being good for gaming, but IEMs are different, I promise. I would suggest the Shure SE215. It's a great, very durable IEM that is incredibly good for the price. The cable is removable if you break it (and can be replaced for as little as $15 with a cable from ebay) so they will last forever. They have a pretty sizable sound stage, and the precision is fantastic for gaming. A friend of mine uses them regularly for gaming, and music listening. He's had them for a couple of years now, and never had a single issue.) They also isolate really well, and they are really small, so you'll be able to use them for just about anything. Because they fit inside your ear, I don't think you'll have too much trouble with glasses. Some people have reported that the cable is a bit thick for some glasses, but you could easily get a Westone style cable, since those things are crazy thin. That's my recommendation, but YMMV. (I'm also an IEM guy, so there's that...)
