I want a pair of headphones that I can wear when I go to bed.

Requirement:
Warm sound
Comfort
Not full size cans

A good description would be, a headphone sound similar to HD598, but looks like momentum on ear, except feels more comfortable than the momentum on ear( less clamping force, feels like HD598 ). My budget is within $200. I don't use amp either.

PS: I don't like IEMs, also, has anyone tried the bedphones? Are they any good?

Not headphones, but not IEM's either:

How about smaller earbuds? The Yuin PK series is pretty small and have a warm sound. PK3 has got an engaging sound with warm mids. PK2 has got a more neutral sound but the mids are still in focus.

Just considering their design, they are probably not intrusive at all and it should be easy to sleep with them in your ears.

Looks great! How do they compare to the apple stock earbuds? I used to use apple stock earbuds until my cats break them.

I must be in the minority, but I have never tried the Apple stock earbuds... I would still say that both the PK3 and PK2 are better. You can find threads about both the PK3 and PK2 here on Head-fi.

They have been sold for about 10 years so you can find many reviews:

If you will mainly use them while sleeping, the PK3 should be just fine. They sound great when you are awake and should work when you are going to sleep/are sleeping...

The Yuin earbuds have been sold for a long time and are popular, so there might be fakes. You need to be careful when buying. If they are too cheap, it might be because they are fakes. Usually PK3 sell for between $30-40 and PK2 for $50-60...

Well, I never do that and could never imagine doing it. But some people do like it.

Still, the Yuin PK earbuds are pretty small and not very noticable when put in your ears, so if you want comfortable earbuds look no further!

The only negative thing about earbuds is that they have very little or no isolation...
