Best headphone for sleeping

I don't think that you want to go to sleep with an expensive pair of headphones. Perhaps some v-moda bass freq, they're not too expensive, they give pretty good sound, silicone tips are comfy and double as earplugs and if you toss and turn and somehow break them, you wont be heartbroken.

The Apple iBud would be me choice.
Because I have several of them, and it would not matter if they broke during the night.

I agree, this is best...in my case...my wife can't do it and our daughter sleeps in our room with us at this point so it is all a no go. For those that want "throw away" sleep phones, Apple iduds are a good one. UM2's are nice to lay on and more comfy than the Apple phones (I used the Apple's for quite a bit before the UM2's arrived). Course...someone should rig up wireless speakers that fit into a pillow. Just loud enough for the ear to hear...but not enough to bother the person next to them

Supposedly they don't work right on speakers, it must be headphones, different isolated sounds coming into each ear. It's probably a load of BS, but I do find the CDs very relaxing.


I found those CD's to be more affective with full cans. When I use my IEM's and move around something is lost. I still use them the majority of the time, but when I want my head to vibrate a little, I use the full size cans.

Thanks Barbie. I was almost going to buy the Portapros....until I read about them pulling out hair! Unfortunately I read a review that said the Sportapros don't sound nearly as good as the Porta. I wonder if I'd even know the difference? The only headphones I've ever used in my life have never cost more than 15 dollars at Best Buy or Walmart.

Well, I believe I've narrowed it down to either Koss or Sennheiser for sleeping headphones. Relatively nice, but not too expensive in case I roll over on them and break them. Of the two, can I get some opinions? After googling some reviews, it said the Sennheiser would be better for classical music, which I might want instead then...


Senn PX 100 v. Koss Porta/Sporta

I used the PX 100 for sleeping for a long time. They get the job done, and like you said, you won't cry if they break.

The PX 100 in black.

EDIT: I found this. Page two has more on the packaging if your interested in that stuff. Mine looked just like this.

the sennheiser MX500 earbuds would be good because they won't be uncomfortable as iems are to some people, they will deliver adequate sound, they are cheap!
