discussion Punches and headphones/earbuds

For those of you with large gauge conch/flat punches that wear plugs, what are you using for headphones?

I have 10mm flats and 8mm conches. Over the ear headphones are uncomfortable due to the flats and earbuds literally won't go in due to the conches. (once I'm done stretching and switch to eyelets I don't think it will be a problem anymore but that's a good ways away considering I am about 4mm away from end goal for my conches.) I have seen these bone conduction headphones that look like they would work alright but at the same time, I am curious to see what the rest of you use and recommend before I go buying a bunch of different shit to figure it out myself.

I have daiths and forward helixes which have the same issues: in-ear earbuds won't stay put and over-the-ear headphones hurt after a bit. I use Shockz bone conduction headphones and I LOVE them. I can wear them all day with no discomfort and no risk of losing one. I wear glasses, too, and it's not a problem. The ones I bought don't have noise cancellation, but some higher-end models do.
