George43Anybody rebuild their Apple earbuds?
Mine are old and don't hold much more than an hour of charge.
I understand kits can be bought from Apple or battery stores.
Can anybody repair them? Utube videos?

2PAKToss em and buy a new set. My understanding is they aren't battery replaceable.
Mine only last 3 hours or less. I will toss them and buy new ones as well early next year.

Ronin1069Don’t even hesitate, get the new Pros. They can be found for pretty good prices right now and the noise cancelation feature is a game changer compared to the generation you currently have.

Rick LeeI've had several sets replaced under warranty by Apple. Now I just buy them from Costco, so when they die, it's a no hassle return. I love their sound quality and use them hours a day. But they are not built to last.

Dead on. As an audiophile, well, throw in function for what you can do with them, the noise cancellation and pretty hard to argue against. I bought my first set when they came out. Then last year I was able to finangle Apple out of a 2nd set, for free. The original ones are dedicated for the gym, if the sweat ever kills them (getting first signs of this but they still work). They’ve been used and abused. The other set I keep mint for work, home, etc (no sweating in them). Very happy with them. So much in fact that I leave the phone at home all the time, or locked in the vehicle and just have my cellular Apple Watch on and the APP’s in the case in my pocket for a phone free, but still connected for phone, messages life. I can get pandora to play off the watch and pipe to the APP’s.
they are worth the $179 that craft mentioned. Run them with noise cancellation on, and spatial audio off for music.
I never did like the OG ones. They are big, or long I should say, extremely odd looking, and look like some Picard would wear. The APP’s don’t look so damn hideous.
