To be fair, almost all wireless earbuds are shit for repairability. The one possible exception I can think of is Sony’s WF-1000XM3, which still require a pick to change the battery.

And as a headphone geek who buys a lot of different overpriced headphones for his electronic instruments, I can’t say that I hate AirPods for being out and about.

They pair and transfer well, and the ANC / transparency is solid. They’re a bit overpriced, and you’re going to have to trash them in several years like most other BT buds, but they’re pretty damn solid before the battery goes to shit.
