  • Teardown complete! Let's put these back together and sync them up for some tunes.

  • Just kidding! These are toast.

  • What did we learn? After two years, AirPods are still disappointingly disposable. Those tiny batteries will fail before long, and good luck replacing them (or even recycling them).

  • That said, the construction isn't entirely unimproved—this set might survive an extra trip through the washing machine. It's just, we know Apple can do better.

  • If you like wallpapers, here are some bonus X-rays you can print out and skin your AirPods case with!
