On your back, of course, but are these just too huge vis-a-vis interference with the pillow? After reading MANY reviews here, I think these would suit my needs sonically for my bedroom system, but obviously not if I can't lie down

Anyone have direct experience? Thanks!

Well, I've done with my 600's, it seems fine unless you lay on your side like me, but if you just relax it should be fine I think.

I have layed in bed with my A500s on (which are constructed the same as the A900s externally). You can do it, but you have to lay on your back (obviously) and shift the headphones a smidge forward since the back will hit the pillow.

So yes it works.

I had this setup for a day. I wasn't feeling good, stayed home from work, rotated my bed in front of my computer monitor, rotated it (thank you Dell 2005fpw) and watched anime with my headphones for 7-8 hours.

I have. Was fine for relaxing, but I had to stay awake. Couldn't sleep with them on. Fortunately my pillow is pretty firm.

I sleep on my side/stomach, and even cheap buds hurt when I wake up.

I use to sleep with them on every night for like 6 months straight. You obviously can't lay directly on your side, but they work ok for laying on your back.

I've layed flat on my back in my bed with my A900s all the time without any problems, even fell asleep with them on laying on my back. Depending on your pillow, you may have to adjust it in a certain way to to meet your comfort needs so that the headphone doesn't rest completely on the pillow making them uncomfortable.

Try a down pillow. Soft enough to contour just about any shape. I've fallen asleep with my HD580s before.

I usually wear my A900's in bed when I'm reading something or studying. I haven't tried sleeping with them, as I usually just take them off once I feel my eyelids getting really heavy.

 

[milhouse6]

I occasionally watch TV lying on the couch with them. They are a little less sensitive to side pressure than other pairs I own -- so the stereo centre doesn't get thrown all out of whack if one cup touches the pillow, if yaknowwhatImean.

That being said unless you're flat on your back, forget it. They are big-ass cups that protrude over 2 inches out of the side of your head.

I'm actually looking for an ideal pair of buds for falling asleep with Pzizz (that don't throw the centre way out of whack when lying on my side...)

... any suggestions?

 

[BRBJackson]

Thx for all the great responses, guys! I'm picking up a pair this week, and yes, they will be ONLY for lying on my back and chilling out in bed , NOT for sleeping

 

[HeavyBassMan]

^ yep. You will be fine.

They are the perfect headphone for relaxing back in bed IMHO. Simply because they are just so comfortable. Especially the LTDs. If you do have a down pillow, or any really soft pillow (as suggested in an above reply), you'd proabably forget you were wearing them.

Just lay back, relax, get your pillow(s) comfy, shuffle up your favorite tracks, and enjoy the music.

Enjoy your purchase BRBJackson

I know I did (and still do)

Works for my W5000s.

milhouse6: check out some Koss KSC75s. You may need to bend the clips out a bit in preference of comfort over a secure fit, but they are quite lo-profile and I've never had problems falling asleep with them.

In fact, I regularly fall asleep with my Sony MDR-7506s. And I sleep on my side, I suppose my pillow is just very soft. Most of the time I wake up with them too, since I've been told I "sleep like a leaf". (there was a language/cultural barrier here)

Oddly grados really bug me though.

Headphones seem to always come of while I'm sleeping for some reason. In fact, I've woken up with what appears to be mild electrical burns on my legs before which I can only assume came from electrostatics.

Now, actually, the SA5000s seemed to stay on pretty well for some reason. It might just be that they clamp tighter.

Hehe, sleeping with 600v of electro stats?? You're braver than I!
