Yes i mean in that way.

But seriously, Used to love falling asleep to some jams out of my ipod to my old pair of sony whatevers, but now im all about cans and have found i cant really sleep with cans on (unless its in a chair, go figure).

So was looking into earclip headphones like the EW9 and some IEMs.

I tend to move a bit in my sleep, Like shift from laying on my side to my back etc. Well its obvious i cant wear my ES7s or SR225s as i lay on my side so i wanted to make my first post in the portable section with this post.

What are good IEMS/Headphones, that i can listen to and actually fall asleep with on without earpains etc.

I sleep with my CX 95, and also occasionally with my IE 8. Anything that sits flush inside your ear should be fine.

q-jays. there microscopic and super comfy and have fallen asleep with them many times. i sleep on my side too and they don't cause discomfort.

 

[Shingetsu]

Wow those are really small. looks good so far. any other suggestions?

What do you guys thinkk about sleeks?

 

[thechungster]

IE8's are fine when lying down, they don't stick out much.

 

[ka-boom]

How about the Klipsch X10?

 

[Shingetsu]

Hmm Do either of these IEMs need an amp? id rather not get a portable amp right now.

 

[walkingman]

The IE 8 sounds just fine without an amp.

 

[Bonthouse]

Same goes for the SE530, and basically all IEM's except the ER4P.
Straight out of an iPod or whatever they sound fine, they just improve with the use of an amp.

well i say for sleep get something cheap so if you break it you wont mind

 

[Shingetsu]

was also thinking that as well but i see the time before i fall asleep as a rare opportunity to really listen to some music, as the rest of my room mates should be asleep. but ill have to look into what my budget holds for me. So far, Q-jays, and the Klipsh sound good, unless i find some real good prices on IE8s. or if i really want a pair of sa6s

Monster Turbines are good for falling asleep. They are small, not over-the-ear, great sound, well-built. All my other OTE IEMs are uncomfortable if I fall asleep with them in.

This is the main reason I decided to try something other than my Triple.fi 10 Pros that I used to have, because although the sound was quite satisfactory for me, I could never lay down with them in, and I also could not maintain proper seal with them when exercising, due to the absurd design. I was happy to discover that I prefer the sound of the Westone 3s and they sit flush so I can lay with them in and there's no harm, no foul!

I will recommend the Klipsch Image X10 also. They are just so small and comfortable, and they do not stick out at all. They do have a very nice warm, non fatiguing sound to them that is very easy to fall asleep to.

u 'sleep' with your IEM's ?

no wonder..there are people who sleep with their R10



jk

. ..
on a more serious note..i tried to listen to music while lying on bed..not sleep.....with my IE7...and they were very comfortable..i could keep one side of my head on the pillow..and no issues.
