I use these (don't know why it says "Apple"; mine just use a headphone jack): https://www.bose.com/en_us/products/headphones/earphones/qui...

Sleeping on my side isn't 100% ideal but they don't prevent it, for me. My biggest problem is turning over in the night and getting tangled up in the cord, then waking up slightly when I try to adjust it.

That one says Apple because it has the volume up, volume down, and middle button attached to the headset, rather than just wire.

I h ave these, too, and they're pretty great. I don't sleep with these in except on an airplane, but even then never on one of these. They're a little big since they stick out of my ear.

I toss and turn, a lot, so the wires aren't ideal for me, but I used to use my wired Apple headphones without the wires being too preventative. These are a bit pricy for my use case, but good to know that they might not hurt my ear as much.

Should note that I don't need noise cancellation, I just listen to audiobooks until I fall asleep on nights that I am having trouble getting to sleep, but have a partner who is a light sleeper and can't just play them on a speaker.

Search "Sleep phones" on Amazon. However, these don't offer active noise cancellation.

Should have added that I tried the headband approach, but my head ends up too hot for me to keep them on.
