Has anyone slept with these on? Is there pressure on your ears when you lie on your side?

I personally haven't slept with them on my ears but I have laid on them while using them. There is some slight pressure and they will eventually start to hurt but that's just me. They're pretty light but they're also thin (but not thin to where they'll break and stuff) I wouldn't recommend sleeping with them on so you won't end up being choked by em or breaking them.

First and foremost, it's not that great for your ears to fall asleep to music with headphones on, regardless of what type they are. But to answer your question, I've found that they're quite comfortable to lay down on. When I'm laying on my side with them, they feel a bit fragile, but there's little to no pressure at all.

Yes. However, the sound protectors are bulky enough that they might be uncomfortable during sleep. They would certainly inhibit sleeping on one's side. I suspect ear plugs or ear buds might work better because they will likely be more comfortable.

I sleep in mine all the time. With my ear in the pillow sometimes the marshmallow type cushion will close off and the sound will bemuffled, but I just move my head a bit until it opens up again.The other cushions don't do this but I find the marshmallowsmore comfortable. I pretty much live with these in my ear. ;)

I generally don't sleep with earbuds in, but when I did use these while laying on my side in bed, I had to make sure the earbud angle was correct or I would be a little uncomfortable. This is due to the rather large housing on the awesome 10mm driver. It was well worth it for the sound quality though, WELL worth it.

Let me add this after reading other's reviews. They actually cover most of the ear and the very comfortable padding sit on parts of your ear to be exact. I apologize if I gave you wrong information. But to me it just lays on my upper and very little on my ear lobes. You do NOT need th try to stretch them out with a pillow. You want them snug, but not to tight. If too loose you will lose the Bass part of songs. Find a comfortable pillow and lay back and enjoy the music. Over time the material will get use to your head size. Hope that explains it in my opinion.

Yes and no. After wearing them for a very long time in one day it does irritate you. Feels like a lot of pressure against your head and ears. Personally I don't think they're heavy

My guess is no for sleeping. Unless you lay on your back and never turn. They are also a bit tight on the head, so that could be annoying too. Ear plugs are a better bet...

Depends. These have a strong spring. My problem with them is the pressure points are forward which causes the actual headphones to slip and/or roll forward. You are constantly adjusting them. They are impossible to lie down with them on. On the positive, they sound amazing and they do very well at blocking out the noise. The lambskin ear pads are comfortable. I chose these because they did not go over the ear.

If you intend to be sleeping beside the snorer I wouldn't recommend these. They have a small extension that goes beyond flush with the ear. It would be uncomfortable if you turn your head on the pillow. If you are up and functioning around the snorer it would reduce the intensity of the sound but not 100%

Hi Carol: I bought these for my niece so I asked her your question and she said that she sleeps with them in her ears, but laying on your side with them in your ears is a little painful! I hope this helps...I would be more than happy to answer anymore questions that you may have. I know that she really likes these ear buds. I bought her a regular Bluetooth prior to this and she didn't like it at all.

I use them for motorcycle riding so I have to believe they would help for snoring...BUT...the method of insertion into and out of the ear canal is a short, stiff plastic piece to grab onto. Seems to me it would not be fun to turn your side and have a pillow put pressure on the rod. Maybe I am wrong and it would be fine. Not sure.

No. I would not recommend these for sleeping, unless you sleep on your back and never put your ear down onto the pillow. The plastic sticks out of your ear and it would be uncomfortable and not work very well. For sleeping, I suggest those green foam ear plugs that are designed for sleeping. I think CVS and/or Walgreens sells them.

I have not slept with them on but suspect that they would not feel comfortable while sleeping with them on. They are not made for sleeping. They are made to muffle ambient sound while awake and upright.

They are comfortable, they don't cup over my ears so they sit on top, unnoticeable pressure to slight pressure. Im sitting when i use them so i dont know if they would shift if i were walking about.

They actually go around the ear, so that your ear is inside the padding. So yes they do rest against the sides of your head.

They're great for that , if you sleep on your back. If you sleep on your side, sooner or later you will break the connecting wire and end up with expensive mono headphones. My daughter has gone through too many headphones because of the way she sleeps.

Depending on how i am lying down (If on my side, only the headphone NOT against the pillow, i'd leave in) ... I say they would be ok I suppose. I choose to turn the music off once i am moments away from going to sleep, though I have tried other earbuds and even other Sonys .. These are the best ones I have found in years and they are alot more comfortable then others
