Sony Link Buds S repairability rating?

3 years ago by iopq to c/righttorepair

I'm considering this product, but I'd like to ideally be able to replace the battery myself. How difficult or easy is this? I haven't found a guide about them online yet

Hell, are any TWS earbuds user repairable? Hadn't thought about it much but they must be a nightmare to work with.

Sure, the wf-1000 xm3 is just pop open and unscrew two screws to replace the battery

It doesn't even have a water resistance rating because it doesn't have a watertight seal. I would expect to have to heat up the linkbuds S with a hair dryer first to get in

Appreciate the info. I have the wf-1000 xm3s and it's good to know I can work on them if I have to.
