How well do AirPods hold up with using while sleeping? Are they more durable than EarPods or wired earphones?

I always sleep with earphones in, & often wake up lying on top of them or tangled with the wires around my neck. I have to replace my earphones (from cheap unknown brands, to Sony or Beats by Dre) at least 1-3x a year. My Apple Earphones that came with my iPhone 7 Plus lasted me almost 2 years before having problems so I wonder if AirPods will be even more durable because they lack the wires.



Do you use their Airpods regularly or nightly while sleeping? If so, how long have you been using them, & have you had any damages to their function? I think the reason my earphones always get damaged is because the pull & strain on the wires when I get tangled up in them. I’m wondering if using Airpods could resolve that. Will me lying my head or shoulders on the Airpods will damage them? (I’m petite, 95 lbs).

iPhone XS, iOS 12.0.1
