ATECH Ultra Flexible Silicon Sleeping Earbuds with Microphone Earplugs for Sleeping, Insomnia, Snoring, Air Travel, Relaxation, ASMR (Type 1 (S/M), White)

I've bought both the ATECH and MAXROCK earbuds so I figure I'd do a comparison between the two:Size: If small-size is important, then definitely go with ATECHs, they are clearly smaller (I attached a photo so you can see the difference). Just FYI, if you happen to be reading through the MAXROCK reviews, just know that they changed their design in 2008 (from a smaller to a larger bud), so many reviews will be reviewing the older model.Comfort/fit: They're both comfortable for me, even though the MAXROCK has a longer stem, that hasn’t bothered me. And both of them stay in my ear fairly well for the most part. The MAXROCKs have a more adapted design, which might be more comfortable for some people.Reliability: Too new for me to say, but from reading the negative reviews on both sides, it sounds like both products have had a lot of issues with reliability, but no issues with mine so far.Sound quality: If your using them to listen to music I would go with ATECH, the MAXROCKs are noticeably lacking in bass. However, when I’m listening to audiobooks I don’t notice a difference.Personal choice: They both work well for my needs for listening to audiobooks at night. I currently use the MAXROCKs for no other reason than that's what I started with.

Let me start with the good - these headphones are comfortable to wear when I'm laying on my side in bed. I like to listen to audiobooks as I fall asleep and in the past I have tried all sorts of headphones/headbands/pillows with speakers. They're either never comfortable or my husband can hear them. These are very comfortable and silent if you're not the one using them. Since they serve this purpose very well, I went ahead and give them 5 stars, but they're not perfect. The sound is not stellar - they sound thin compared to my previous headphones (which were just Amazon Basics ones, nothing fancy), but since I use them for audiobooks, not music, it doesn't affect me as much as it would someone who was listening to music. They also feel a little flimsy so I'm concerned about the durability of the headphones, especially as I often fall asleep and roll over, jerking on the cord a little. They do have a little loop on the back of the cord where it attaches to the ear piece, so hopefully that will help. It's both good and bad that the ear flanges are built into the headphones... I lose those little flange thingies like no one's business, usually due to rolling over and jerking them out of my ear while sleeping :D These won't get lost, but they're also not adjustable. They fit my right ear well, but aren't sound-tight on my left ear. As a result I sometimes fiddle with the one in my left ear and since it's down in my ear canal a bit (in order to make it comfy to lay on) it's easy to tilt it and cut off the sound. That's a minor complaint, though, I just wiggle it again. Depending on durability I will probably buy these again when my first pair break because they really are the most comfortable earbuds for sleeping that I've found.Edit: 4 1/2 months in these headphones began to die. I can only get audio from one side unless I wiggle them around and hold them in place. Also, they frequently trigger my voice prompt on my phone (which all headphones seem to do on my phone as they start to die). 4 1/2 months actually isn't bad for me - I'm hard on headphones, I fall asleep in them a lot and roll over, stretching them and jerking them out of the headphone jack. I roll them up and shove them in pockets and walk around with them, etc. So I'm leaving my 4.5-5 star review. It would have been nice if they lasted longer and, as I mentioned in my original review, the sound isn't winning any awards, but for the price they are still good for what I want them for.

The earphones are very comfortable when in the ear laying down on a pillow to sleep. The sound quality is fair to good. This is my 2nd pair within a year. The last pair also failed within two months. Both time one side stopped working. The problem is that the units are very compressed to make them comfortable to have in ear and lay on a pillow. With that said, they are fragile. I really want them to work as these are the most comfortable I have used so far, and I have tried 8 different types. Most hurt your ears if laying on for any length of time, so you can only have one side in. Of course the side that your not laying on. They are inexpensive, but I would pay more if they made them stronger.

Great for listening to podcasts/music while falling asleep, which is why I bought these. I was using my 1More Triple driver IEMs when falling asleep and it was painful to lay on my side with those. These work great and the sound quality is still decent.PROs: - You can lay on the side of your head with these in and not be impacted. No pain, no pressure. They fit inside your ear easily (once positioned) - Sound better than I expected (I'm somewhat of an audiophile, so high standards) - Light, so you don't notice them as much - Good priceCONs: - Haven't really found any yet. Maybe longer cord??? The cord is decently long and will most likely do you fine

I'm a really picky sleeper, to the point where I don't much like sleeping away from home. I don't sleep well in silence, or anywhere with unfamiliar noises. Obviously, this creates an interesting challenge when I'm traveling, camping, or spending weekends at a friends house, so I've started using a white noise app with earbuds.I've tried a couple other pairs of earbuds with mixed success - either the cord was too short, causing the earbuds to pull out of the audio jack in my phone, or they were too large and put painful pressure on my ears (I'm a side sleeper).I grabbed these because they're made specifically for sleeping, and the cord was longer than other pairs of earbuds I've used. I was initially skeptical when I received them because there aren't multiple sizes of ear cushions included, but it ended up not being a problem at all. They worked perfectly! I can't recommend them enough.

These type of ear buds are great for use while sleeping. Very comfortable, block external noise well. The design with the loop holding the wire at the base gives a point to hold when removing without needing to pull the cables. Hopefully this will help them last. Sound reproduction is fine.

For someone who has frequent trouble sleeping due to pain, the need for headphones that can comfortably be worn when lying down are essential. These are soft and easy to use, they fit snugly into the smallest of ears and really help by providing a good sound even at low volumes. They are not Bose quality, but are really great for what they do. Thank you for the great design and excellent service too.

The silver gauze has started coming off and is actually causing pain as it is quite sharp!! Beyond that, the ear phones are very small and do not seem to fit in my ears. It's though they are made for very small ears. Do they come in a medium size?

Best earphones I have found for being a side sleeper

These are earbuds that ask a question: are you willing to sacrifice build quality in the name of audio and comfort? As someone who has been on the hunt for comfortable headphones to wear to sleep, these are a godsend -- but the build is so poor that you'll be replacing them in no time. The longest I've gone with a pair is about four months. My most recent pair failed after just 5 weeks. And, like a chump, I'm buying them again. The fit is perfect, the sound quality is decent, and the price is right -- but if you fall in love too, be prepared to treat these like a subscription service instead of a single purchase.

The sound quality is not the worst I have ever heard, but it is certainly not the best either. I wouldn't mind that so much if the earbuds weren't so small and didn't fall out of my ears all the time. I think this product really might be better for a child to use. My ears are not huge or anything, but the buds fall out all the time. A bit disappointed with this product, I must say.
