Yep, stupid question but really important for me : is it possible to use the LCD-2 or HE-6 while lying on your back in bed ? I know I have no problem wearing listening to my T1 in bed but it was almost impossible with the AKG701 because they are too big. I'm really interested by the LCD-2, HE-6 and HE-500 but I'm afraid I won't be able to use them in bed like the K701.
 
I can't believe there isn't already a thread about bed-safe cans

Why can't you just sit up in bed...?

Those cans on all those mentioned are huge :\  unless you are a giant with a titanic sized noggin' i would say no, the cups most likely will push upward too much.  Then again what do i know?  Im short

 

[rattesp]

Because my bed is sooooo comfortable.

 

[rattesp]

Arggghhhh ... It means i'll have to go back to the HD800.

 

[Canadian411]

My bed is comfortable too.

The HE-500 I have weighs the same as the HE-6, and I can't imagine laying down with it for long. Way too heavy. The HD800 would be a far better option if you must lay down in terms of weight, though it's still big in size.

They can and I do use my HE-4 (and the loaner HE-500) while laying on my back with a few pillows

I don't think the weight would be a problem, but if you're lying on a pillow, the LCD-2 might be a better option because the HE6 are very sensitive to anything blocking or covering the open back, or getting even close to it at all.  I tried lying on my back with the he6 and the pillow puffing up around my head changed their sound for the worse. 

 

[nc8000]

I use memoryfoam pillows that don't puff up

 

[rhythmdevils]

Yeah that could work.  Different pillows are going to have different sound characteristics.  You have to mod your pillows for the best soundstage and bass response.

Aren't there any hi-fi beds? Maybe Coconut audio can cook something up.

I use the LCD2s in bed w/ no problems.  But maybe that means my head is way too big.  In all seriousness, I do prop the pillows below the point that they would envelope the open vents for the 'phones.

As long as you're using adequate protection, I don't see that there would be a problem. It's a little strange that anyone likes their headphones quite that much, though...

Eiderdown pillows provide the best sound and comfort.
