Does anyone have a preference for IEMs? I've just discovered a cheap brand called KZ that make nice in ear monitors with multiple drivers, over-the-ear repleacable cables, add-on bluetooth cables that replace the wired cable with headphone jack, and impressive bass/overall response compared to traditional earbuds.
The microphones are just *OK* in quiet environments, but for $13, I'm happy. There are a bunch of sellers on Amazon and reviews galore online.

I prefer wearing something on my ears like Sennheiser headphones. They make microphones as well.

I've always preferred headphones on/around my ears rather than earbuds too. I always found earbuds uncomfortable, though th
last time I tried earbuds was a long time ago. I haven't tried any type of recent earbud type things (such as Apple's AirPo
etc.).

Earbuds have not become much better.
Typical headphones interfere with my glasses and they get uncomfortable, whi is why I use a monocle with the headphones. I am sure it looks hypster as he but who cares.
how can headphones mess with your glasses. they are on two different parts of your head.

"Can" headphones always made my ears hot and clammy. I've gotten used
to earbuds with memory foam tips - they expand to better block out
noise, but they're softer than nylon tips.
Glasses have those arms that go back and somewhat wrap around your ears. Headphones could press on those.

Monocle is to be comfortable :-) I could as well ask why use a full
set of glasses if you only have vision issues in one eye...
I do like proper headphones for serious listening, but when out walking or on hot days, earbuds are better, because they don't get sweaty.

My dad lost the vision in one eye in later years. I always thought he
should have trimmed his Santa Claus beard into a proper VanDyke and
gotten a monocle.

Yeah, all I have are the over-the-ear/"can" type headphones, and
sometimes I like to listen to music with headphones while doing yard
work and my ears get sweaty. I do have a portable internet radio (a Logitech Squeezebox) that I could bring out and stream music on (I also have it set up to stream my own music library from my server), but I
don't really like forcing my neighbors to listen to what I'm listening
to. :P
If you ever try to go shooting with ear muzzles and glasses at the same time you will realize the glasses negate the effect of the muzzles because they prevent the ear protection from sealing well around your ear. If your glasses are any bulky I can assure you it will get uncomfortable after a moderate amount of time.

Er, shooting without eye protection is monumentally stupid, bud.
I have no issues wearing glasses and over-the-ear protection when shooting. Sounds like you just need better muffs.

You have eye glasses that don't go around your ears?

Not sure how thick the "legs" on your glasses are, but the wrap around safet glass design doesn't protrude as much for me to perceive any issues regardin a good seal. I have a pair of 30 year old Silencio's that has maintained good vinyl/ rubber covers over the foam, and they seal well around the limbs of the safety glasses. Once my employment situation improves I will buy a set of digital noise cancelling hearing protection.
at work i wear safety glasses and over the hear headphone style ear protection. doesnt even touch.
at home i have some cheap headphones i only use for the mic. wearing glasses now and put the phones on and nothing is touching.

Maybe if you're using headphones that just sit on the earlobe, they might no touch the arms of the glasses. But if you're using the kind of headphones w the rubber(ish) padding that wraps around the ears, those might touch.

It is not that muffs are no use if you wear glases. But you lose haÃlf the sound attenuation easily.
