  • We kick off disassembly with the most removable, and cleanable, bit: the flexible tips—much like you find on competing models, including AirPods Pro. With three different size options, you've got a good chance of finding a set that fits.

  • Next: hoping to keep it nondestructive, we aim for a likely seam and get slicing with an opening wheel—luckily no heat required!

  • The plate we peel up has the touch controls mounted to it, but your taps are communicated via spring contacts, so no booby trap cables in sight!

  • Inside, we can already spot the glued-in motherboard. Forcing it out seems unwise, so we'll backtrack a bit—and try what has become our standard opening procedure for the generally not-so-repairable earbud category.
