The perfect headphones to fall asleep to!

A few months ago I started listening to podcasts to fall asleep, but I couldn't find the right headphones. I sleep on my side and can't fall asleep on my side with the Bose QuietComfort 35 wireless headphones. The wired headphones fell out of my ears and I woke up tangled up in them - I was afraid I would one day suffocate. AcousticSheep SleepPhones have solved all of these problems! Now I can sleep soundly while listening to podcasts. Also, I realized that they are perfect for running (they sell the same product as RunPhones) so I use them for running too. Love her! More. BLUETOOTH: Easy to connect and always stay connected. I didn't have any connection problems. Good communication in multiple rooms of my device. BATTERY: Good battery life so far. I can wear them all night and go for a run in the morning with no problems. There is no battery indicator, so it is recommended to charge every day. "Effortless" includes wireless charging, which works well, and you don't have to remove the Bluetooth receiver from the headband - although I do when the band sweats from running. TIP: If you have trouble connecting to the headband charger, remove the receiver from the stitching or label. They must be connected by a layer of fabric. SOUND QUALITY: Surprisingly good! Better than any headphones I've tried, especially when the speakers are properly aligned with the ears. The sound isn't as good as my Bose QuietComfort 35 headphones for music, but great for my bedtime use or running. A NOTICE. These headphones don't do anything for noise cancellation, which I particularly like when I'm running so I can hear the traffic. However, I did not find them suitable for use on airplanes. I recently attempted to use them on a flight to Hawaii and the background noise of the plane drowned out any sound coming out of the headphones. I will use Bose headphones in situations where I need noise cancellation. COMFORT: excellent! The fleece fabric is very soft and they did a good job of making the device very thin and the headband comfortable. It took a night or so to get used to, but now I don't even notice them. I thought it might be hot but I'm very comfortable, although I'll probably buy a lighter cloth headband for summer. Note that the headband needs to sit high on the forehead in order for the speakers to be properly placed over the ears, so it doesn't work well with bangs. I pull my bangs back to sleep or run so it works well, but I wouldn't consider them for everyday use with my hair. TIP: Check your size and order a little smaller. I'm an average 5'4" woman and ordered the medium which is comfortable but moves me a lot. I wanted an extra band to rotate the lingerie so I ordered a small headband and it fits better - comfortable without moving.All in all a great product!I'm very glad I bought it.
