The problem with wireless earbuds is that they're almost never small enough to be comfortable when laying on your side.

That's a fair critique for most earbuds.

But this person is using headphones currently. If they had an issue lying on their side with headphones, they wouldn't be looking for headphones again. No matter how big earbuds are, they're almost guaranteed to be smaller than headphones.

I think they may have been using headphones as a catch-all term. But regardless, there are headphones that are specifically designed for sleeping in. They typically use very flat drivers sewn into an elastic headband.
