  • Inside, the first thing to catch our eye is adhesive. Guess that's why Nothing made the Ear (1) only partly transparent—adhesive is not very pleasing, and they know it!

  • The second point of interest is a button cell battery, similar to what we found in the AirPods Pro and the Galaxy Buds Pro.

  • As long as this is not a custom cell, this might be a good sign for replaceability.

  • In order to continue, we need to disconnect the in-ear portion from the stem. And it looks like we're lucky with adhesive for once ...

  • This red glob glues a tiny press-fit connector to its socket and prevents it from accidentally disconnecting during a fall.

  • With delicacy, and without any heating or tearing, we manage to maneuver our tweezers around the adhesive and disconnect the flex cable. Huzzah!

Eenmaal binnen is het eerst wat ons opvalt de lijm die is gebruikt. Waarschijnlijk is dat de reden dat Nothing ervoor heeft gekozen om de ear (1) slechts gedeeltelijk transparant te maken—lijm is namelijk niet bepaald plezierig, en dat weten ze!

Wat ons als tweede opvalt is de knoopcelbatterij, die we ook vonden in de AirPods Pro en de Galaxy Buds Pro.

Zolang dit geen speciale, op maat gemaakte batterij is, is dit goed nieuws voor de repareerbaarheid.

Om verder te gaan, zullen we het in-ear deel van de stam los moeten koppelen. En het lijkt erop dat de lijm nog niet zo erg is als verwacht..

Deze rode dot met lijm bevestigt een kleine drukaansluiting in het bijbehorende contact en voorkomt zo dat deze losschiet als je de oortjes laat vallen.

Op soepele wijze, en zonder gebruik van warmte of getrek, weten we onze pincet langs de dot met lijm te manoeuvreren en de flexkabel los te koppelen. Huzzah!
