| - | [* black] So far, disassembling these earbuds is fairly non-destructive compared with [guide|75578|certain competitors|new_window=true] (albeit still not exactly repair-friendly). Let's see if that pattern holds as we dive into the charging case internals. |

| + | [* black] So far, disassembling these earbuds is fairly non-destructive compared with [guide|75578|certain competitors|stepid=152770|new_window=true] (albeit still not exactly repair-friendly). Let's see if that pattern holds as we dive into the charging case internals. |
| [* black] Fortunately, the clear adhesive used in the headphone stems isn't any more troublesome in the charging case. Some heat and a good slice from an opening pick grants us entry. | |
| [* black] Separating the two white halves of the battery housing is a bit more of a challenge—they're connected via clips and plastic nibs, which are not only glued but seem to break easily as well. With careful heating and prying this is manageable, but definitely not ideal. | |
| [* black] Overcoming this hurdle reveals the single-cell battery inside the charging case, and a stacked circuit board. | |
| [* black] Did we say ''stacked''? Oh yes, in each half of the housing we find a board held in place by standard Phillips screws. They're tethered together via a seemingly sturdy bridge connector. |
