- ir123 6y agoCould I use them to cut off external noise that keeps me awake when I am trying to sleep?
- gotem 6y agoYup I sometimes accidentally fall asleep with mine on. The noise cancelling works even while not playing anything. Just make sure you don’t sleep on side and crush them but you should be fine as they’re pretty resilient to damage (except water).
- ciaranlee 6y agoYes. Probably depends on the exact noise. I've used them to good effect on planes and when sleeping beside a snoring person.
- math 6y agobest trick i know for this is to have another source of noise that you can tolerate (e.g. a fan). noise cancelling headphones are useful if you sleep on your back...
- cjauvin 6y agoI would recommend a white noise machine for that, I haven't been able to live without mine for many years now: https://www.amazon.com/Marpac-Classic-White-Noise-Machine/dp/B00HD0ELFK/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=dohm+noise+machine&qid=1603042136&sr=8-5 https://www.amazon.com/Marpac-Classic-White-Noise-Machine/dp...
- TheAdamAndChe 6y agoThere are also a million white noise apps on the play store. I like Noice, its in the f-droid repository.
- npteljes 6y agoMynoise.net is also a wonderful resource.
- rich_sasha 6y agoYMMV, I would struggle to sleep in mine. Noise makers are better for drowning out noises, IMHO

- dzhiurgis 6y agoAirPods Pro work way better for sleep due to low profile (mostly just using single one tho), but I've used big cans too. They do get damaged rather quickly (pads compress, drivers crackly all the time) and not comfy.
- spiffytech 6y agoThe kinds of noises that often keep people awake at home aren't really the strong suit for active noise cancellation technology, but it works well enough that there's a whole market for noise cancelling sleep aids. You're probably better off looking there than the Bose QC; ordinary headphones and pillows often don't agree. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-cancelling_headphones#As_a_sleeping_aid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-cancelling_headphones#As...
- torvald 6y agoSo true. Most bang for the buck i know.
- jermeh 6y agoI own the Sony version of them, the wh-1000xm2. They have xm3 and I think xm4 now and they are all highly praised. I bring them with me basically everywhere. They're especially incredible when flying.

- gtirloni 6y agoI upgraded to the 1000xm3 from a QC15. It was much better. Im pretty satisfied.
- santa_boy 6y agoThanks, bookmarked. I so much wish I went for these. I bought the Beats headphones that were a little cheaper. I don't find anything good about them either in comfort or functionality. Social media influence!
- seventhtiger 6y agoI have worn the Bose QC35 II on a 19 hour flight. It greatly reduced the terrible hum of the airplane and the battery lasted all the way through (bluetooth and sound were on maybe 6 to 8 hours). They are that comfortable.
- nicbou 6y agoI have Airpod Pros, and I found myself wearing them without playing anything, just to tune out the noise.
- amerkhalid 6y agoI got QC35, one of my favorite thing ever. I can listen music at really low volume and still hear all different notes. And I can sit outside in my patio next to a running A/C unit and not hear it at all.
