Too expensive for me, but it's nice to see audio companies throwing some love toward those of us who wear glasses. Maybe they could add this feature to their mainstream models?

$300 normally sounds like a ton for a headset... but these are "elite" AND "pro" so I'll be pre-ordering two at a minimum.

$500 for that? $500 will net you an HD598 + AT2020USB+ + nice DAC/amp or even better.... TB isn't exactly known for high end audio, so their asking price is down right ridiculous!

Turtle Beach lost me as a customer and someone who could ever recommend their products after I bought a pair of Ear Force Sevens for $299 and the plastic part that holds the ear cup broke. Probably costs 30 cents for a new one but I was told that I'd have to buy a whole new headset because they don't repair them.

I just took my money to a competitor instead.

As someone who wore glasses (now contacts) I have a problem with that groove.
Firstly, I dont even see any such thing on the example product shown. I never had any discomfort from gaming with glasses on in the first place except with a pair of TB headsets.
Also, that groove must be fairly wide if it is expected to line up with glasses while remaining adjustable with varying headband levels, which if it is would impact acoustics.

Turd Beach has a long history of putting out gear of a bad build quality. I'd stay away.
