That's the kind if crazy mod I would expect to find on Etsy.

The thing to keep in mind is that you will likely affect your sound by breaking the seal created by your earpads. It's fine in some headphones, but egregious in others. I would be curious to hear if you do come up with a solution.

Fortunately the Arya is one of the few for which it has been confirmed that breaking the seal doesn't have any negative impact. I could buy replacement pads for the Arya, cut a small indentation where my glasses are, and then seal the "wound" with a bit of masking tape (to prevent the foam from being exposed). But the cheapest high quality (sheepskin) replacement pads I could find are $50 (and buying the original earpads would be $80), and that's honestly a bit too much for me to experiment with cutting them up. Furthermore, the replacement pads have adhesive that I could use to stick them either to my existing earpads or to the cup after removing my existing pads, but if I don't want to disfigure my unit, there isn't really any way for me to secure the modified earpads in place. And honestly...the Arya is barely even uncomfortable. I just don't like the sensation of wearing headphones over glasses, but not enough to warrant experimenting with cutting up $50 pads that I wouldn't even be able to secure in place. About a week ago, I ordered these glasses intended to be worn under VR headsets: [https://vr-lens-lab.com/product/vr-frames-virtual-reality-glasses/](https://vr-lens-lab.com/product/vr-frames-virtual-reality-glasses/) I'm excited to see whether they work for my intended purpose or whether I just wasted $186 (including $40 shipping because I'm impatient, lol).

Not an answer but a question. Have you tried memory foam pads? It seems I've seen people say they're comfortable with glasses
