Headphones that sound smooth and comfortable on a pillow?


HI Friends,

I'm going to be spending a lot of time in bed and on my side. I'm sure eventually this will change, but I find myself spending much less time in front of my loudspeakers.

I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation for good headphones (not IEM's) that are comfortable even when you are lying down on your side?  Or a headphone friendly pillow?  I usually get AKG's.

I like IEM's by the way, just the one's I have really stick out too far to be pillow freindly.

Thanks,


Erik

Guys, Many folks neither want an IEM/bud, or they don't fit their ears.  I have CIEM"s (Empire Ear Phantom's). I also own and will be selling (don't use can's anymore) my ZMF Ori's.  I love the CIEM's and dont' need more.  Some just want a can to listen while in bed.  The biggest question that folks should be asking is what is your source/amp.  Can't figure out the rest without knowing that part. 
I would think you'd want over the ear headphones so they're not applying pressure directly onto your ear, You would want something with a good thick pad but a flatter headband. I've seen some Sennheiser's that might work well. Also, Grado makes an over (or on) the ear headphone called the eGrado that's an around the back of the neck style. You could probably order a pillow that's softer or allows you to control the fill to adjust for your headphones. My wife and I bought pillows from a company called Nest Bedding Easy Breather Pillows. The concept behind these pillows is that you can unzip them and remove fill (put the extra fill in a ziplock bag and store away in your closet) to adjust them to your liking. You can find these pillows at buy one, get one half price. I would suggest you consider one of these pillows in combination with a over the ear headphone with a good quality cusion surround and flat headband. I've read your posts for years and know you like your music. If you need a headphone amp, I have a Schiit Lyr that I never use and would love for you to use it as long as you need it. I just don't use it (you can borrow my AKG K702's as well. I'm serious.) You just pay shipping, I live in Rochester NY. Let me know.
