I'm looking for headphones (*not* earbuds) which are comfortable for somone who wears glasses.

The headphones should:
* Work without a driver (has audio jack, *not* USB).
* Be good for gaming.
* Be comfortable for a glasses wearer.
* Be connected to PC using a wire (*not* wireless).
* Not be plugged to the inside of the ear (such as earbuds, which are bad for me).
* (Preferably) Not include a microphone.

Any recommendation for something up to 80 USD ?
I've been looking at this tutorial:

And "Jabra Move Wireless" seems fairly fit, except for the wireless part and price.

I never used headphones and doesn't understand much.. so I ask here.

(I've heard from an Electrical Engineering expert that all sound producing devices, such as loudspeakers, are essentialy the same.. perhaps I'm misinterpreting his words but I guess that you're familiar with this issue and understand his meaning.)

As a glasses wearer, I tell you this: every headphones are uncomfortable for us. There is no way to tell which ones are good or bad. It all depends on the glasses you wear, size of your ear and so on. The only way is to put each model on your head and feel it. If you decide to buy one judging just by the looks, you may end up with a serious ear pain, especially after wearing headphones for long time.
However, the good headphones will get 'used' to the shape of your ears after using them for some time. Which means they will become more comfortable then they were at the beginning.

Honestly: very few headsets are really uncomfortable imo. Most feel odd for a few days, then it's fine.
I liked the steelseries headsets as they are very soft around the ear but solid otherwise. Sound quality could be better but you get used to it.
Roccat's headsets were especially comfortable but that might be due to their size.

And I'm wearing some pretty big hipster-y glasses.
