Anyone here ever use one of these? If so, any opinions???

My wife can't sleep with music playing, and it is a pain to have to wake back up to put the cans away... not to mention not so comfortable to get to sleep with hd-600's on. Thought I might give this a try!

obriagdo!

Wouldn't she hear this playing though?

What about custom canalphones like the ultimate ears or sensaphonics. You can lay on you side and you set your source to shut off so you are just left with earplugs for the rest of the night. This way you don't disturb you wife, you sleep in silence after the music stops and everyone is happy except your wallet. Plus you get excellent sound quality and will also be able use them as a portable (and home) heaphone.

She might hear it, but at least it won't be playing through the whole room, just low volumes at my pillow. As for the canal phone... I tend to roll and toss at night and like the onter cans, have a problem with waking up having cords wrapped around my neck.

i don't know too much about that product, but i think it's a darn safe bet that it will not take care of your problem, in any respect.

I wonder how stiff is the pillow speaker. If it's stiff like a piece of plywood, it would be uncomfortable lie on.

your head will hurt alot when you use that

I don't suppose the speaker is made out of a soft material....

When I was a kid, I had a pillow which had two small speakers built right in, and because of the fluffiness from the pillow, you oouldn't feel the driver housing...Was a pretty cool thing actually, but I can't remember what ever happened to it. If you're feeling up to the challenge, you can just take a pair of decent drivers, say from the Koss KSC 35's, and stick them in a really fluffy pillow. A couple very fine cuts, then a sewing kit should do the trick. Just make sure to stick the cord out the pillow enough ..... Your wife most likely won't hear it at all unless she's looking to pick a fight.
