Swap the batteries, tips, charging case, shell, or even just individual buds.

But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don’t do this not because they can’t but because they don’t want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.

    I’m not a native English speaker so, yeah, I used the wrong term because I forgot that the word “earbuds” exists. But what I meant is simply that sound quality is not the selling point for earbuds.

    If I go for earbuds I want them to have good battery life and be comfortable because I have weirdly shaped ear canals, and I’m only going for “decent” sound because the ones that actually sound on par with a good pair of over ear headphones are like twice the price, at best. Also, yeah, wired is usually my go to for quality. My favorite so far on that front are my ATH M50X but they are not super comfortable for extended use because of my big ass ears so I’m still looking for the holy grail in that price range.
