On the other end of the wireless earbud arena, we have the new Samsung Galaxy Buds—which we recently tore down and found to be surprisingly repairable! The ball is in your court, AirPods.

Time to get up close and personal: the AirPods have model numbers A2031 (left ear) and A2032 (right ear).

We have some real gripes with the AirPods' design priorities, but there's no denying the engineering talent that goes into them. Peer into this X-ray and you can pick out batteries, microphones, antennas, speaker drivers, circuit boards—all in something that fits in your ear.
