I've found a good number of negative reviews of Bose QC 2 and quite a few good things said about Sony WF-1000XM5 so I'm leaning towards buying them but would love to hear the general recommendation on Lemmy first.

I live in a very noisy environment and need earphones for my sleep, when I work or relax, and for listening to podcasts as well as a bit of music. And since sleep is most important for me, I have in-ear comfort as the top priority.

I can’t imagine why not. Though, you probably shouldn’t in order to protect your hearing.

Ah, I've just realized it's probably generally unadvisable to sleep the whole night with any kind of earbuds in your ears, right...
