I wanted to highlight one of my favorites: Repeat Audio (formerly Gerrard Street). They’ve been pioneers in modular, fully circular headphones—100% Dutch design (TU Delft), one of my friends who studied there put me onto this.

Since 2014, they’ve been recycling broken parts and offering free repairs for life with a no-questions-asked policy. I’ve been a customer since 2016, swapped a few parts over the years, and even got a free upgrade when they rebranded. Had a great chat with one of the founders back then, which only made me more of a fan.

They were doing modular headphones long before some bigger names jumped on the concept. Repeat is now getting some pretty big national artists jumping in to support their mission, so I’m hoping they’ll do cool collabs and swap-outs in the future.

Does anyone have experience with them?

    To clarify, my headphones use rechargeable AA/AAA batteries (haven’t needed to swap them in a very long time), so they work the same as headphones with built-in batteries. But I have the option to replace them in a matter of seconds if the battery capacity takes a hit after X number of charge cycles.

    And if the company chose to use AA/AAA lithium batteries (which I use in some gadgets at home), then it’s even better.
