> I even sleep with them I used to do that with my QC15 first and then after it broke twice, with my QC25 replacement. Sleeping with them on is really tough on them, though. After the third replacement device, I decided I couldn't keep on doing it no matter how much I actually enjoyed putting it on at night and hear that soft static. The slight pressure actually felt pleasant. Quitting using them for sleep was hard, though. I certainly felt the urge to buy a new pair but now I sleep with a pillow on my head if I'm sleeping on my side, or a puffier pillow put sideways under my head positioned in a way that it will cover my ears if I am sleeping on my back. It is no perfect replacement but I think the reason why I do that is because I am still seeking that QC20 feel.

They make a pair for sleeping with if what you want is white noise: https://www.google.com/search?q=bose+sleepbuds https://www.google.com/search?q=bose+sleepbuds

  It isn't exactly white noise that I am looking for. It is the residual waveform QC25 has after it has done its best effort at noise cancellation. With that being said, after looking at here [0] it actually looks pretty promising although it seems to not have active noise cancellation.

    I'm assuming you've tried basic earplugs with white noise generator at full power? When I used them to block out building construction noise, they worked well. Maybe even too well - I was wondering if I'd wake up if a fire alarm went off. Active noise cancellation doesn't work well with noises like ambulance sirens.

Are you using earplugs then? I tried to sleep with headphones but it never worked for me and finding a comfortable but effective earplug is kinda hard.
