Hmmm, I suspect that you don't wear glasses, Stuart!  I've tried this and the 
problem I have is that since the pads are between the phones and my ears, they 
just mash my ears against the earpieces of my glasses!  What I need is something 
that will fit AROUND the ears, letting my head take the pressure rather than the 
ears.  And of course they need to be soft enough to let the earpieces of the 
glasses through.

I don't know about that, but I wish I knew where to get the old-style cushions.
