Sony earbuds are also poorly made unreliable junk. I haven’t touched Sony earbuds for 10 years because every pair I bought died within three months. Sometimes a product is poorly made rather than being “easily repairable.”

I'm still hoping for an iFixit collabo with some makers to see "replacement shells" made, so that the guts of the iBuds can be transferred into a case that allows easier service. iFixit has been at this long enough, that more sophisticated teardown methods might be employed... cnc, for example. With the fancy lithography, you can see where the battery is, so that "ooh scary" part shouldn't really have been necessary, except as a public service...

If you had them long enough to worry about the battery, theres going to be a huge amount of ear wax, along with dirt etc. It would cost bare minimum $100 to do it, even if the battery was free. You could fairly easily get a new pair of them for that price.

The only thing they need to make replaceable is the battery.

I think it might've been a little over played in the video, but their point on the environment still stands. What normal average person would be able to confidently open a pair of airpods to change the battery? The average person would take them to Apple would've upsold them on getting Apple Care and they would've gotten a new pair chunking the old one. In my experience when my AirPods pros microphone was damaged, Apple had me "send them in for repair" and then it was in a "awaiting repair" queue for weeks. Eventually the repair tracking disappeared and got my "repaired" airpods back. It was a new pair. Another thing, how is Apple going to intergrade these into their recycling program? I really really doubt there is a magic machine they have that disassembles this in a cost effective way that Apple would be okay with. If Apple were upfront about it I wouldn't care. But given my experience and the fact Apple has all of this "we love the environment" stuff, it really shows the true values behind the company. It is a shame that we as consumers can be lied to and Apple will likely never be held accountable for their actions in misleading consumers that their products are some how more environmentally friendly than other electronics, when they all end up in the same place slowly polluting our world.

Airpods Pro 2 Magsafe Box should be charge %100 ?? Otherwise, %20 - %80 should be charge ??

I came here for a teardown with analysis of the parts. Instead I got a lecture. The pragmatic truth is that it would be impossible to make something as small as the AirPods "repairable" without compromising the design or weather resistance. If Apple were to bulk up the design to satisfy environmentalists then their sales would decrease and then another group of people (potential purchasers) would declare their displeasure by not buying them.

I like the fit of these earpods so I bought some of the best fake apple pro 2 I could find only cost me $45. They sound pretty good and for the money can't beat them. Iphones think they are really and do what I real set would do when connecting them and setting them up. Best part is they can be serviced very easily. Just a little squeeze and they open right up, battery was right there and $10 spent on a batteries and 4 solder points and back together they went. No glue at all inside these. I get around 6-7 hours of play time and couldn't be happier.

Not to mention wireless earbuds, I don't think regular wired earbuds are that repairable too. While yes, it is disappointing to see how bad it is from iFixit's POV but it was just a video cracking the buds open without any explanation on what goes where or how things changed internally from the last AirPods Pro. Repairablility of the buds and a more informative attitude of video making, both still has a long way of same length to go.

There's really no excuse for what apple does. My Sony WF-1000XM4 buds, use replaceable coin cell lithium batteries, and neither the case or the buds itself, are glued together and can be opened up relatively easily.

I mean your compressing battery, microphone, receiver, H1 chip, etc in a small compact space. Repairability is always the sacrifice.

I mean considering I threw away wired earbuds 1-2x a year and have my AirPod pros for 3 years now that's a win.

The problem humans have is that they want everything about everything: good price, solid construction, practicality, good materials, good durability, good performance, resistant to drops and at the same time easy to take apart for "fixing". Good logic right there.

@@toasterbread75 A pretty big drop in the bucker when tens of millions of these become trash in just 2-3 years. This also requires way way way more energy and precious metals etc to be made than say a plastic bag.

So if the person doing the repair is skilled enough they can replace the battery in these things, I’ve seen some shop here in Thailand specializing in replacing AirPods battery, so it’s not impossible it’s possible you just have to be skilled enough to do it You want it to be recycled properly, sent it to apple if you have other brand see if they have a recycling program if they have such program send it to them

This entire video just seemed like an excuse for iFixit to Apple bash.

Look at the state of that casing 🤣 Opening the casing is the easiest part. The rest is a nightmare on elm street 😱 Still I managed to salvage the battery 🥳

I opened my Galaxy Buds 2019 case 3 times already and replaced the battery. Glad i don't own any Apple Products. They're terrible for consumer friendly users.
