Let me know how cost effective they are when the battery wears out or you accidentally launder them.

  I accidentally laundered mine a few weeks ago - left them out for a few hours before trying them and they were (and have continued to be) 100% fine.

  Batteries are replaceable for $49: https://support.apple.com/airpods/repair/service https://support.apple.com/airpods/repair/service

    Judging by how they're put together, https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/AirPods+Teardown/75578 https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/AirPods+Teardown/75578 ...I bet the $49 "battery replacement" is really more like "small discount on a new AirPod or case".

  For what it's worth, mine survived both the washer and dryer unscathed. I just had to clean off the contacts at the base with a cotton swab.

  The case is too thick to miss in a pat-down, making that scenario far less likely.
