Yow RS-1s??? I can't even lay down with those comfortably, let alone sleep. U must be joking

My girlfriend gets so pissed off at me sleeping with my EX71s; I never hear her talking to me (a blessing - thank you Sony). The HD590's velour pads are so comfy, but I wake up every time I roll over...used to be able to sleep like a mummy.

You will, however, hear your G/F snore and nag you through the HD590s. Solution: lower the cones of silence

Dude I once slept 3 hrs in a minibus with 100 degree heat on the worlds ****tiiest road when I went on holiday. My old man said "how the **** do you sleep", which I replied "better than you, *******"!

You mean, you're worried about rolling onto one side with the Ety's in a perpendicular position, resulting in impalement?

i seriously don't think its possible to hit your eardrums with er4's or 6's. that would be incredibly unsafe

Learn to sleep sitting up in a recliner and you can wear any headphone you wish.

Or you can get a pillow speaker from Radio Shack for $5.99. It's not like you want to go to a rock concert every night, and you'll be able to easily hear your alarm clock in the morning.

pillow speakers are stupid, i would feel like a jackass using something like that. plus they dont block out things like snoring, or drunken banter from the room next to me

 

[geekay]

so, i prefer to a er4p to sleep with.
but ,now i usually sleep with sr325.

Well, some people use things simply because they perform their intended function. A pillow speaker really isn't a bad idea for a lot of people, if you think about it--you only really hear it when your ear is close to it and can roll away from it and fall asleep (or after you fall asleep) and get better sleep than you would otherwise with music playing in your ears all night long. I have tried sleeping to music in the past and it wakes me up all throughout the night. Probably the same for many other people.

From a "how it makes me feel" perspective, I'm almost 40, married with kids in a quiet house, so pillow speakers would actually be kind of cool. Come to think of it, pajamas and slippers aren't completely out of the question either

. Maybe even some magnifying eyeglasses with a little light so you can see what you're doing.

It gives me wierd dreams!

I've dosed off with my HD580's a few times, very comfortable as long as I don't roll over on my side. Earbuds would be the obvious answer because they wouldn't restrict movement like over-the-ears 'phones would.

Back on topic: A small radio, with a line in, might be a good idea. The Tivoli Model One's a great sounding, and looking radio, and works well with the iPod plugged in.

Another vote for the EX71s. Whatever their faults (bass, treble, build quality, etc), comfort certainly isn't one of them. The fact that they're so comfortable and easy to put in/out, and can be used when lying down is the main reason I still have a pair.

I've decided to get both the EX71's and the ER6's, because I recently took up gambling and found myself with a spare $200. will this decision come back to haunt me when my gambling addiction gets myself in the hole $200? Yes. But at least I cant listen to music in style!
