Which headphone is best while sleeping?

After many restless nights, you're wondering which style of headphones is best for sleeping, right? As someone who speaks with customers daily, it's a common question I receive. If you're like most people, you immediately think about noise cancellation headphones first. While those are great in really loud environments, comfort should be a top focus while sleeping.

When you're in bed for hours, anything digging into your ear or pressing on your head will be a problem. I have spoken with countless people who have earbuds but cannot make them work. They tell me they either fall out or are jammed in so far that they hurt. They also feel weird when you sleep on your side. The same applies to traditional over the ear headphones. They're perfect while on the subway, but not so much in bed. With either option, moisture can become trapped in your ear, potentially leading to bacterial buildup.

We receive significant positive feedback stating that our SleepPhones® headphones are the best option for sleeping. They're a headband, so nothing sits directly in your ear. They are designed for comfort in bed and feature thin, padded speakers inside a soft, breathable headband.
