I'm looking for a good pair of headphones to get my girlfriend for her birthday. I've found both of my pairs on this forum (Sennheiser HD280s and little silver earbuds with delta-sigma on them) and I couldn't be happier.

Here's her problem: She needs music to fall asleep to and her roommate next year needs silence. So do any of you know of a pair of headphones or earbuds that would be comfortable and safe to fall asleep in?

Price is more of a factor than quality; we're both college students on a budget and she really is not an audiophile. Any help would be appreciated!

(Oh, and if you could remind me of the name of my earbuds, that would be great, too.

)

i fall asleep easily with my EX71's on. IMO, these are probably the most comfortable in-ear buds around.

edit: i think the brand with delta-sigma logo you are referring to are audio technicas.

I can most wholeheartedly second that. I've used them to fall aslee to music in the last two nights and they have been comfy as!

I'll third this suggestion. She can sleep without the use of the extension cord, leaving no chance of a cord strangle.

your headphones are sharp md33s
as for falling asleep...none of my phones so i have nothing to add there

Which pair has better sound quality, Sony EX71 or Sharp MD33?

I have a hard time sleeping with IEM's. I can sleep with my HD515's though. They are very comfortable. I got them for like $65-$70 or something, it was a 1 time deal, brand new from a big box retailer.

I'm not sure I ever want to fall asleep in HeadPhoes although it's slightly more attractive than falling asleep in HeadFoes...

e2c's are good to fall asleep in. they also block out snoring

I'm surprised no one has suggested the Sennheiser HD650?




I'm joking, I'm joking, please don't hurt me Sennheiser mafia!!!
I do like the HD650, and HD600 as well.

Seriously, I've tried using several different types of headphones to fall asleep with, including Beyerdynamic DT880, Sony EX70 and Westone UM2.

The Sony EX70 worked well and I'm listening at ultra-low volume anyway so the bad sound quality is acceptable.

x5 Sony EX71

And no, I didn't break my TriPorts by sleeping with them!

I could see that being a problem if you move around a lot while you sleep, but then if you move around that much, you may not be sleeping.
