If that's the case why isn't the battery replaceable. I spent less money on way better audio quality headphones (Sennheiser HD25) over 20 years ago and they are still going strong. So far I replaced the cable once and the ear pads every few years. Though I would like to buy airpod pros for traveling I cannot bring myself to buy something that will last only 2 years. That is a disgusting example of inbuilt obsolescence and should actually be illegal to sell.
- gls2ro 7y agoWhile in general I am for replaceable part I really fail to see how this desire can be put into really. AirPods are really really small in terms of how much tech they include. Please take into consideration that making something replaceable means (in general) adding more stuff to the product. I doubt at this scale that is it possible to maintain the small size and to also have replaceable battery with the current hardware capabilities.
