The secret to sharing a pillow with 580's is to use a buckwheat pillow. It all works perectly then!!

Happy listening!

buckwheat pillows make an annoying crunching sound when you move, and that can be annoying since the 580's are open.

Well hold still then!!

What *is* a buckwheat pillow

 

[kwkarth]

A sack stuffed with buckweat hulls.

Buckwheat pillows!
Highly recommended. Once you get used to them, you won't go back to those neck stiffening fluffs of death!

Buckwheat is a great, environmentally friendly pillow.

Not too hard to grow, doesn't consume much water or space, can be eaten or used for pillows.

Heh! Great link! Buckwheat noodles are good and the hulls are great to sleep on! Ever get a hole in the pillow though? Those little critters go everywhere!

Say, what was this thread about in the first place? Oh yeah! HD580's go good with buckwheat!!
