Hi, I sometimes fall asleep while wearing headphones. Will these break or something?

i fall to sleep , with mine all the , time thus since i've had them they've , been quite durable that's why , i chose them because they advertised to be durable , they've live to my standards !

I can't see that happening with these headphones. The hinge and headband are made of steel and tested beyond military specifications for durability. The cord is also wrapped in Kevlar material. For longer listening I would recommend getting the oversized ear pads - they have a little more padding.

They shouldn't they are built like a tank. Which also means they aren't real light either but I think their comfortable.

Hi Alex,I would say that you're probably safe to fall asleep in these occasionally. The build quality is very impressive, and you do get a 2 year warranty on the M-100's. As long as you don't make a habit out of it, consistently sleeping in these headphones, I'd wager you'll be safe!

Hannah--the QC2s are not good to sleep in. I'm sure it could be done, but if I were you I would look into a pair of noise-canceling canalphones such as the Etymotic ER6i's.

They are a really tight and sturdy. I wouldn't have thought that sleeping with these would be comfortable, but after trying it I could see how it could work. They squeeze your head quite a bit, so you might have marks when you wake up.Sideways isn't going to be comfortable for a large headphone like this unless you have deep soft down-like pillows. If you sleep on your back or let your head tilt slightly you could cut out sound while listening to music. For sleeping on your side you are probably better off with ear plugs (no music) or ear bud headphones (no external sound filtering). They are a really tight and sturdy.

I never tried that but using them when listening to music keeps most noise out. Someone really has to get my attention for me to answer them. For music, this headphone sounds great.

I actually didn't with them as I primarily used them for a concert, but I'd have to assume they would be perfectly comfortable to sleep with. They don't feel heavy or seem to strain your ears as some headphones might when you sleep with them.

More comfortable than a pair of Beats, I suppose, but....I'm not sure if I would advise sleeping on your side with something jammed into your ear in any set of circumstances...

Joanne: they stay in pretty well, but not completely. I seem to have more trouble with that than most though. The bigger problem is that there is a design flaw with the plastic part that attaches it to your ear, just below the ear bud. Both of mine broke almost immediately and I've had to splint them together with electrical tape. For that reason I probably wouldn't recommend these. Sound is good though for the price.

I'd think they'd be damned uncomfortable unless you sleep on your back without turning your head to the side at all. But, then, I've never tried sleeping with them on, so I can't provide an answer from personal experience. You'd probably be better off using some ear plugs to block out noisy neighbors.

They aren't too good for sleeping. I would get soft earplugs (usualy orange). That's what I used when I was sleeping. You should find them in any sporting goods stores.

You definitely shouldn't buy these. I'm not sure if everyone's headphones broke as fast as mine, but my pair lasted barely a week. Now keep in mind that I take extreme caution with all of my things, and I was the only one to touch them. I never dropped them or anything, and they just broke.

Yes, I've worn them for sleeping for a few years now due to noisy neighbors. They are comfortable with multi-hour use; sometimes a new pair can seem a bit large when first worn (hurting my ear a bit, but I have small ears). If this happens, I just pull them out a bit and all is well. And they do stay in all night if you insert them according to the directions on the package (pull ear up and back, roll the plug tightly and insert). I don't know what I'd do without these, they are a lifesaver as far as my sleep!

I tend to fall asleep with these headphones in my ear, while watching tv on my laptop. I can't complain ;)

Somewhat comfortable, but I wouldn't recommend it. In case you fall asleep you don't want to chance them breaking off in your ear

Thanks for your inquiry. Headphones, like many mechanical products, may have a break-in period. As the headphones begin to break in they are supposed to sound better and more relaxed. It is entirely possible that your headphones have a different tonal balance than when they were received because of the hours of use. People cite break-in periods of vastly varying lengths, but we typically recommend 40 hours of use before critical listening. We hope you find this information helpful! Please let us know if you have any other questions.

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.

Yes these headphones are great for listening to music while falling a sleep, the ear pads are fully articulating so they automatically adjust to the way your ears and head are shaped so you get the perfect fit every time you put them on.

Not at all. These are great protective headphones. If you have that problem you should get a replacement. These are the best electronic headphones I've used and should afford excellent hearing protection. Try them turned off. If you hear loud shots then maybe they arent fitting you correctly or there is a defect causing a sound leak.
