    Currently I'm using Diablo3 headset , which is wired its really annoying when I need to move away from my laptop.

    I did some research about Sound Blaster Tactic3D Rage Headset , Logitech - Wireless Gaming Headset G930 , WoW headset which don't have huge dock and portable wireless.

    So I was wondering did anyone own these headset , I'm wearing glasses and current headset will hurt my ear due to long duration usage.

    I'm looking for Wireless headset without huge dock & comfortable with glasses on , any suggestion would be great , will rep+.

    I have GW2 buddies who have the G930 and so far i haven't heard them complain that their headsets were annoying even after a few hours of playing. I only have hand son experience with the Vengeance 2000 though. I'm not sure whether they are wearing glasses, but my Vengeance gets annoying at around 4-5 hours after wearing it with glasses.

    I had the G930 it was not uncomfortable and I would think with the foam it uses and the amount of pressure it had on my head that glasses would be ok.

    I sold my G930 though for other reasons, the mic was bad quality (for my standards or any recording task) it had some awfull drivers issues since its detected as a 7.1 device and not a 2.0 device so some programs would not play nice with it.

    Sound was just OK and not what you can get from headphones near the price range, its to be expected since your paying more for the wireless tech and the unit must be stand alone and not wired to your DAC/AMP and use wireless for data transfer.

    I tried Vengeance 2000 as you suggested last time I really like the headset but the earcup filled with dust easily & long gaming hours my ear gets hurt.

    True, the velour pads attract dust as for ears hurting, it doesn't really affect me, but there should be padding between the driver grill and the inner part of the earcups instead of it being a hard surface. I don't know whether the G930 has the same issue.
