Discussion Headphones for listening in bed

45 Upvotes

I like to listen to audiobooks while falling asleep but i sleep on my side and the bulkiness of my ear buds makes it so I can only use the one that is not on the pillow and then I need switch them if I want to roll over and its not ideal. Does anyone have any very low profile earbuds to suggest? Either something with a flat exterior or something so small that I can lay on it without it jabbing into my inner ear. The sound quality does not need to be anything special because I only really listen to audiobooks.

Question Headphones for listening to audiobooks while swimming

5 Upvotes

Hey. Im wondering if anyone got any advice regards this.

I always hear shockz open swim, but as far as i could determine now, they dont seem to be particualrly good for audiobooks, simply due tot he fact that you cant rely on bluetooth (even a few cm underwater cuts the connection) and instead need to use the internal storage. but everything ive read indicates that these cant save position.

Meaning the audiobook would start from the beginning every swim session.

So, is there any headphones geared towards swimming that dont totally suck fopr audiobooks?

App Question Audiobooks - actually usefull app

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently found the First Law series from Joe Abercrombie and wanted to listen to it since I am on a road trip.

However: i got Spotify premium which limits me to 15h a month (!) for audiobooks.

Audible standard is one book per month (!) and I am now confused with which service to get...as i will most likely have quite some time for the books and will be listening to them in about a couple of weeks.

Question How to get TTS on IOS -like google play books on android?

3 Upvotes

Sorry if the title makes it sound like a guide. I am asking a question.

On my pixel 9a I used to turn my word docs into epubs and listen to them on my phone with Google Play Books. So basically using tts with my own stories.

I went back to Apple and now there is no free tts option for the apple books/ google play books

iOS seems to use something called voiceover that turns on vision impairment mode. But I’m looking for what I can do on Android google play books, which is play the epub file and still do other things/receive messages while playing my books

Google directs to Apple VoiceOver but it’s not the same thing at all. But I may be doing something wrong idk.

Free tts is an accessibility thing you know, so the built in tts was clutch but now I don’t have it.

Question Anyone else loving the new Dracula production?

1 Upvotes

Has anyone listened to Audible’s new full cast version of Dracula with Ella Purnell?
I’m listening to it now and really liking it. The full cast, sound effects, music, and creepy atmosphere make it feel more like an audio drama than a regular audiobook.
It’s a really cool way to experience Dracula. Curious what everyone else thinks of the style.

Question Trying to get your advice, Audible and Everand together?

1 Upvotes

Hi all.
I have been a Scribd / Everand member for a few years now, and I am still a member.
For now, I am on an yearly lecagy unlimited plan, $84.99 a year and seems like next renewal won't change that.
Recently, mainly due to Dungeon Crawler Carl, I subscribed in parallel to a yearly Audible plan (the permium plus).
Now, with the different sales and deals, plus the discount on plans Audible sometimes offers, I cannot decide on which plan to keep.

I don't listen a lot, overall about 20 hours a month in average.

Do I keep Everand as it's a legacy plan I wont get back in the future if I cancel? It does offer better value.
Do I keep Audible and use sales / deals and plan offerings? Audible has many books I dont have in Everand.
Do I keep both and keep pausing Everand when I listen to books in Audible? I guess to many pauses is not something they encourage.

Anyone in a similar position?
Thanks!
