I can sleep on my side with Shure E3cs. Can you sleep wiht the e5000pth? I've been told that sleeping was an problem with the E5cs.
OP, if in-ear phones are comfortable for you, go with the Shures. The fit in a case you can put in a pocket, sound great, and noise isolation protects you from more noise than cancellation.
