[Trainer-Talk] Looking for a pair of Bluetooth headphones that are comfortable for listening to audio content etc.

[Kat Bottner]

I’m looking for something like aftershocks, but that you can use for more comfortable things like when you’re lying down things like that. The aftershocks that I have I would not use for that purpose, as the wraparound part would get in the way.

If headphones, do you want cover the entire ear, or just on the ear?  If earbuds, do you want something that has ear tips that actually go in your ear, or not?  Examples are, ear tips can be something from beats or air pods pro, on the ear would be something like air pods 1, 2, or 3.  Finally, do you have a price range?  With that said, I use different options and tried out several models.  The Anker sound q 30 are a good set of headphones that cover your ears and have some good equalizer options that uses the app.  The band goes on the top of your head.  I use them lying down, but cannot turn on my side.  These are considered the most featured headphones under $100.  For something similar, but for more options, then you are looking at air pods max, Sony, or Bose which will run you hundreds, at least $200 to $600.

I have a pair of aftershocks, but the wraparound band is not the most comfortable when lying down. I thought aftershocks specifically had a pair of headphones for sleeping or something? If someone can point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated.
