Final Thoughts
  • The Samsung Galaxy Buds earn a 6 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):

  • External assemblies are held together with clips instead of glue, making for a mostly non-destructive entry process.

  • Disassembly can be accomplished with common prying tools and a Phillips screwdriver.

  • The earbuds use coin-cell batteries that are relatively easy to find online for future replacements.

  • The charging case battery is easier to replace, but will most likely be more difficult to source.

  • Adhesive is used to keep many of the internal components together, though it is not excessive and can be reused for reassembly.

  • After opening, careful prying is required to separate some adhered components without tearing fragile cables.

  • Some cables in the charging case are soldered directly to the motherboard instead of utilizing contact pads or board connectors.
