Looking for something I can use to wear to have audio from bluetooth that doesn’t get in the way as a side-sleeper

    I backed it for my wife and while they have their quirks, she says they’re very comfortable and generally do the job well. Basically Bose used to make a Sleepbuds product then discontinued it. A good chunk of the product team left, bought the IP from Bose, and started this to continue the development and add lots of requested features.

      Looks very cool, kinda hoping for more of a headband type thing but I’d definitely try something like this if I could

      On the second one from Musicozy. The first failed after 2 years of nightly use (a wire broke), but given the price I certainly am happy. Cheap, alrightish sound quality, battery lasts a few nights, and nothing stuck in your ears. Cannot go to sleep without now ((

    I have the wired version of these Hearprotek earbuds, and they are amazing. The earbud is so small it doesn’t reach past my ear, and they are some sort of soft silicon, so they dont bother my ears when sleeping on my side. I went through dozens of “sleep earbuds” until I found these. https://a.co/d/0a7kYUM

    Check out bone conduction headphones.

    The audio quality is not the best but it more than enough for podcasts or youtube content. They are much more comfortable for me as long as the volume is relatively low or else the vibration starts to become annoying. I would recommend trying them out if you can from a friend or order some expecting to return them because they aren’t for everyone but if you are like me you won’t want to use anything else.

      Using Shokz myself, but for the intended use- sports. For the outdoor runs/cycling they are good. But for sleeping, they still press into your face when you sleep on the side.

      is this a bot response or something? I fucking love my bone conduction headphones but theyre defintily not appropriate for side sleepers, hell I can’t even use a headrest comfortably while wearing them let alone lay down with them on

    I’ve got a pair of these that I like. They do the job as described. They’re not great at anything else but I like them for laying in bed.

    I use Sennheiser HD450BT over the ear headphones. A little tricky but with a softer pillow side sleeping is fine. Can occasionally have issues with the ANC with some pillows.

    Using Brownian noise from my phone.

      Those are murder for me now, gotta jack up the volume and I find them less comfortable than the Pros. I’ve been spoiled by Pro’s sound cancelling

    I got some $8 sleep buds from Aliexpeees that have done well. I’ve also done the headband ones, but you can just put that in in Amazon and find a plethora of them. I’ve also see people use pillow speakers and put them inside the pillow case, but you’ll need to still have your audio jack for that.
