Anybody have problems wearing cans with piercings?

I have my lobes stretched to 1/2", and find it hard to fit my ears into the cups of my beyers. And sometimes my tunnels get pushed into my neck with my Grado's.

I'm sure other must have some ear piercings and headphone experience.

My friend has a size 0 gauge, I'll make him wear my DT770s and SR-60s to see what happens... never thought of this before because I don't have any piercings.

I have a few piercings. They were mostly an irritant at first - kind of like starting out with IEMs. They mostly don't get irritated now, although a closed can will be the first to cause a problem after a while.

Try KSC75 for real comfort (you can chose between ear clips or headband)! Of course, you'll prolly lose a bit in SQ, but not too much.

I have standard piercing, no stretch, and I get utterly bothered by anything on-the-ear. Circumaurals are all fine though, and clip-ones/iems don't bother me at all. With stretches I'd just go for either Stax SR-003 or SR-001, or some quality IEM. Justifies trying the Westone 3, no?

Ressurecting old-as-crap thread because I had my 4th ear piercings done a few days ago. Basically it didn't bother me much with IEMs - actually once my in-ear fell off and got caught in the spiral, so it didn't hit the ground.
 
But recently I got bored, so I started wearing a wooden tribal earring. It's a major literal pain with full-sized cans, and you lose the bass impact that leather/pleather pads are supposed to create, since it rests between the pad and the skin and ruins the acoustic seal, so I have to take it off everytime I want to use my SRH750.
