Comfort is an issue not to be underestimated. Besides the obvious issue of
wearing something on your head for extended periods of time, there are more
subtle issues. I stopped using my MDR V6s because the padding around their
ear cups would push the pointy end of my earring against the side of
skull--ouch! I bought a pair of K240Ms because they have oversized ear cups
and hence do not have the same problem.

(I like the K240M for general-purpose monitoring, and I use a set of
Beyerdynamic DT770 'phones for more critical monitoring. They have better
isolation and more detail than the AKGs. Both have ear-cup padding that is
large enough to go all the way around my ear without the earring problem.)
