      They’re called sleepphones and yes, they’re designed for side sleeping. Basically a headband with speakers. Each speaker is like a C battery, stitched into layers of felt.

      The Bluetooth version has a silicon casing with a folding crease in it, to keep it flexible, but it’s several inches long and doesn’t seem to last long before I get whining. Idk how much of that is Bluetooth degradation vs the receiver’s wear and tear from folding or being lied on. It needs regular recharging (micro USB, or i think they have a cordless charge version).

      The 3.5mm has a long braided cord, has never whined, and doesn’t have the chunky Bluetooth receiver. It gets charge from the phone. I always know I can use it when I want to.

      Sleepphones also sells replaceable parts piecemeal so you can get just a band, just speakers, just BT unit etc.

        Thanks. They look very nice and from what I see the wired version is much cheaper too, hopefully the cable can be bought as well, I always kill earphones from getting shibaried by the cord.
