Are these suitable for sleeping while wearing them? I need earbuds that don't project very far outside of the ear.

Totally not. They stick out a lot, and sleeping in those would be outright dangerous to your ear canals, in my opinion.

I would say they are not suitable for sleeping in bed. Okay to wear while your nodding off in a chair.

I wouldn't sleep in them. They do stick out of the ear and if you sleep on your side it would be uncomfortable. If you sleep on your back it might work.

I've fallen asleep with these a few times... not comfortable enough to keep in all night. I would recommend a shallower body style ear bud, that Comply Foam makes ear tips for. It's basically memory foam and is fantastic for canceling-out noise.

Absolutely they will work for that. I've used them just for that purpose, sort of. My neighbor has a loud #*$&$ motorcycle he starts up every morning and wakes me up. So around 3:00a.m. when I get up to pee, I put these on. I sleep on my back anyway, so it doesnt matter. I also put in earplugs. I can't hear crap! Sometimes I even miss my alarm clock, but oh well. It does work to sleep in them if you don't move around a lot while you sleep and you can't roll over! Goodluck! :D

You could try. I wouldn't personally - I use them on my lawn tractor. A bit bulky for sleep I think, especially if you're laying down. Maybe in a chair.

They have a standard 1/8in headphone jack, so yes.Using headphones to go to sleep is dangerous because the cord can wrap around your neck. You may consider another option for bed.

Yes, these earplugs work without falling out and are very comfortable. Be sure to follow their recommended way to insert them in your ears and they will work great in any sleep position (or even walking around in a noisy mall)!

They comfortable, but I won't recommend sleeping with them. But if you do fall asleep, like many people said before, they do fall out to protect your ear I guess.

It would be entirerly possible to use earbuds and place the noise suppressing headset over the ear. They really do block out a great deal of external noise. You'd hear the music better. So: yes.

They are not noise cancelling, so if you are looking to eliminate plane background noise, these probably won't do it for you.On the other hand, if you want a portable (fold up set) that you can use to wear that are comfortable, and mask outside noise with your music, these are pretty good headphones.

I would not recommend it! There is a hard plastic shaft that sticks out for inserting/removing which sticks out and it could be pushed further into your ear than you would want. For sleeping use regular foam ones, there is no need for special audio ear plugs for sleeping.

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...

Just my opinion, but I think not. As I said in my review, I found them too uncomfortable to wear for a few minutes, but even if they fit you better than they fit me, I don't see how anyone could possibly sleep with these on. Try some simple earplugs like these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001YXOEE/ref=nosim/103-1990038-9555833?n=228013

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.

Sometimes I fall asleep wearing them, usually I sleep on my side so I will wear only one ear bud in the other ear. So overall I find them pretty comfortable for sleeping.

You can get custom made ear inserts for sleeping. They fit snugly inside your ear, nothing on the outside that would make an echo noise as you move in your sleep. Look for them at gun shows. Sometimes the companies that make the ear buds for shooting also do the custom ones for sleeping. Good luck.

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

Only laying down vertically not horizontally ear to pillow.They certainly aren't ideal for listen to music on a bed or a couch anyway.I use them in the studio as a reference.

They have decent sound (honestly, I think they sound very good), but they do not cancel ALL outside noise. With no music they block less noise than a set of soft foam earplugs. With music though, outside noise shouldn't be a problem at all.
