Getting comfortable at bedtime can be difficult enough without adding headphones or earbuds to the equation. Yet millions of people enjoy listening to music, podcasts, audiobooks, meditation tracks, white noise or relaxing sounds before falling asleep.

The question is: what is the most comfortable way to enjoy personal audio in bed?

Sleep headphones and earbuds are popular solutions, but they aren't ideal for everyone. Pillow speakers, such as Pillowsonic Symphony, offer a different approach—placing the sound source beneath your pillow rather than on or inside your ears.

For people who prioritise comfort, convenience and private listening, the difference can be significant.
