I basically have a "XL" head and would be concerned about too tight of a fit.
But I'll definitely look at their site and search for some reviews, etc.
I wear them with glasses all the time - both my wireframe daily glasses and my Rudy Project Rydon sunglasses. They have space for the eye glass bows to fit through that should accommodate almost anything short of Elton John style glasses. I have also worn these with my bike and ski helmet with no issues.
They are not high pressure at all. You can wear them for hours at a time. The part that is in contact with your cheekbone is 3/4"x1/4" (by eyeball) so it's quite large.
They have a
45 day return policy with a "satisfaction guarantee". I take it at that you could try and return them if they don't work for you. That's kind of what I did.
What I like about them is that they work well, seem to have less impact from wind noise (due to conduction) and they let you still hear clearly what is going on in the environment around you. They are set up so that if you push the button on one of the sides, it will stop/pause your audio. I find this very useful when I approach an area that would have busy traffic or where I really need to concentrate on the road ahead. It's easy to do even with full finger gloves on. With the no ear bud inserted in my ear, I don't get that feeling of being disconnected from my environment while riding.
