  • Nothing of the nothing (what a name!) broke during our disassembly of these transparent fellas, and no harsh methods were needed to reach any components.

  • That said, this wasn't exactly a piece of cake compared with some other earbuds we've encountered—and once inside, you'll find some critical components that could have been easily replaceable if they weren't soldered together.

  • There are a few repairs within reach of a determined DIYer, like a motherboard or battery replacement within the charging case. But you're unlikely to reseal those see-through bits very tidily—and in the case of the stems, re-gluing them might actually clog up the works.

  • Repair-wise, we can't help feeling that Nothing kind of shoots itself in the foot with their main design feature.
