I always listen to music in bed before sleep, i love it. But how do the airpods do for sleeping? Can you comfortable rest on your side with your head/ear on the pillow without the airpod putting pressure and getting uncomfortable?

Thanks!

I actually did that yesterday morning. 30 min podcast in bed, head on the side. It was cool.

Slightly uncomfortable in some positions after a while. Probably depends a lot on your ear shape, pillow density, etc.

no issues at all here, tried it last night and was fine. Sometimes i like to watch youtube videos as i fall asleep..weird i know but they were fine then.

i have had the air pods in my ears while watching the football and listening to podcasts and it's easy to forget they are in even my ears.

lying on my side with my ear pressing against the pillow is too uncomfortable for me - i take out one airpod and just have the one for the ear pointing up, as i did with earpods.

sooo much better being wire-free though, no tangles and pulls!
