Fuck yeah with the replaceable battery. I got some pricey Apple earbuds and the battery life collapsed after two or three years. Ridiculous, given the price.
The batteries of my Sony whateverXM3s (the true wireless ones) recently gave out, and I was positively surprised to find that the battery was a standard cell that was pretty easy to find. Prying the open was annoying, but doable.
You were lucky! Those were the most repairable earbuds… Until now 🙂

Huh, neat. Well, I’m still quite happy with them, actually, and hope they’ll continue to do their jobs for a long time. Bought them because the review were pretty good, and they where on sale for 80€ at a local retailer (was right after the XM4s dropped).
Those earbuds at 80€ would be a steal still now!
Yeah, I got lucky. Retailer wanted to get rid of them to make space for the next generation.
Great article, thanks!
