Anyone here sleep with noise cancelling earbuds in? Looking to cancel out some snoring next to me. I'm a side sleeper though, so not sure how that'll go with earbuds in. Currently do not own any so can't really test it....

Um excuuuuuuse ME. Women don't snore. We purr.

Speak for yourself. I’ve been informed I can impersonate a MAC truck.

Hahaha.

Sometimes I wake from a nap to a blaring tv because "someone" can't hear it. Usually it's because I'm exhausted.

Have you tried a fan or similar? Sleeping near noise I find it to be partially an anticipation or regularity problem. A broken snore pattern isn’t too bad, a regular one is. The drip hole in the gutter pinging at precise intervals is unbearable!

NOT airpods pro. They suck for side sleepers.

Side sleeper and regular washing machine/snore like truck = Llab. Although I myself can’t sleep if someone gets to a snoring before me.

So I’ve tried a few, though YMMV. Anything hard is a no: EarPods, Loops, Earphones etc., all hurt in time.

Soft plugs for me take time to get use to. Ones I have used for riding have been Alpine and Surefire. ATM for riding I love the Surefire Sonic Defenders EP5. Haven’t tried them in bed, but they might be a bit too suctiony.

Honestly though, if I was a flat out back sleeper and could get my Sony 1000XM5 headphones to stay on… That would be heaven.

I have some Loops and side sleep. Haven’t tried the combo. You might get too much pressure which can cause damage.

I do - I am also a side sleeper, but having used earbuds for a while, and a pillow that, while firm, has a cushiony layer, I'm used to the feeling of them. I almost need them to sleep, now

What earbuds do you use? I'm looking at some Soundcore A10s. Not noise cancelling, but seemingly tick the boxes.

I just use samsaung galaxy buds. I think galaxy buds 2? certainly not pro.
