Watching this AirPod Pro repair video is like witnessing a high-stakes surgical procedure-but instead of a scalpel, we’ve got a heat gun and a prayer! 🔥🔧 If only fixing these was as easy as just ‘unpairing’ and ‘re-pairing’-we’d all have a lot fewer headaches and a lot more working earbuds!
The problem with apple isn’t pricing only, you can buy professional equipment for 10 times the price of the AirPods, the problem with it is the longevity, if I buy a 300$ earphones I’d expect them to last at least 10 years before buying another pair, not 2-3 years !
If you are careful with your device maybe it can last 10 years. But the battery, it won't matter how you take care of it, it will still degrade as time passes on.
This repair is so difficult it’s insane! This crap MUST be made illegal! With all that EU was doing about right to repair, did they overlook Wireless Earbuds? Why can’t they just design it so some part would simply unscrew and give access to the insides? Why do you need to solder the battery?! I literally have a Gillette Razor with a battery inside and all I need to do to open it up is a quick twist. There’s a rubber gasket, and I’ve used that thing for like 15 years now probably, submerging it into water, cleaning, all of that - ZERO problems. Why does Apple need to bath AirPods in a glue?! This is madness!
@@maziu27 Did you read what I wrote? I literally have a razor with NOTHING but a thin rubber gasket separating the battery from the water. ZERO problems 15 years using it!
As someone who’s worked in the EFFA department at the Elk Grove warehouse. I can confirm it’s 100% deliberate. You should see how they feel about third party lighting cables 😂
@@MonstertruckBadass The warehouse has an entire section of steel dedicated to counterfeit, 3rd party lightning cables. For people that don’t know, the serial number on your cable matches the serial number of the phone it’s packaged with. It’s an off white, size 1 font serial number on the outside of the cable. You generally need high magnification and light to see it. I have a theory that they have a code that burns pins on cheap 3rd party connectors. The engineers had a special hate for “counterfeit cables” so it wouldn’t surprise me if my theory became true
Steve Jobs said it best in an interview, “people vote with their wallets. If they think it’s great they’ll buy it and otherwise they won’t it’s as simple as that.” I guess most people just don’t care enough.
I still lament ever since the launch and craze over small BT headphones. No one thinks about all the batteries and waste these things end up being. Sitting hear wearing my 12 year old Sony MDRs, I have a set of 1980s Porta Pros. These things last forever if you take care of them. Thats the problem, batteries made these consumables and not "products" like a lot of Americans think of when we buy electronics. I have computers as old as 12-15 years old that still run. These days Apple builds in electrical runoff as they put high volt power rails right next to data lines which inevitably causes device failure 5 years down the line. It makes me angry that this is "preferred" among the general populace, we've allowed companies to enslave people into a cycle of infinite buying crap that does very little to enrich our lives.
the only thing I want to mention is that you used so much iso to remove the ribon cable and the white glue. there was a big chance a earspeaker from that much amount of iso. good to hear that everything went fine. Btw I do microsoldering aswell so that's why pointed that issue out. love watching your videos, keep it up man.
@@exceptionallyrisohigh chance for the isopropyl to seep into the earspeaker cavity, making it sound buzzy and crackles alot, with it being trapped in there its not easy to remove since using heat will damage the earspeaker and the isopropyl has no way to evaporate since its isolated
Hey so an idea you could use next time if you ever come back to this idea is. You could always wrap some electrical tape or thermal tape around the contacts for the battery. As it looks like the tolerances were made with virtually no wiggle room to keep the contact (:
i had airpods faux (get it cuz they were fake?) gifted to me abt 2 weeks ago. i tried pulling off the ear tip off of one; broke immediately. the other literally decaptiated itself with the case and split in half. bruh
Few months ago I replaced the battery of my 2.5 year old soundcore liberty 2 pro. In Bangladesh I did not find the exact same battery, so I had to connect 2 of 30mah battery parallelly and to make it even more clumsy I had to separate and use the bms from the previous battery. Man that was quite hard with limited tools, but it did work!
Wow, the Airpods 2-gen USB C case is IP54. New Samsung Buds are ip57, but the case is only ipx4. I never washed my earbuds but it sure would be nice to have an option
AirPods 2nd gen (lightning) are water resistant, accidentally went thru the washer then dryer twice, all I needed to do was charge them. But be careful lol.
I have to say that I still love AirPods. The store here in Germany has a 3-year extended warranty on every part, even the battery, for €25, which I didn’t even need on my first pair, which is 4 years old now. I had never wire-bound headphones holding up that long.
This make me realize fair buds is totally user friendly. It just needs sounds improvement and better tws features utilization. More companies should make battery removal like toss a rock type easily
3:39 The only way to prove if Samsung did it right is to run them through the wash like you did your AirPods. If they still work then they indeed built them better.
I'm good with the mid range skull candy wireless earbuds, have had a pair for 4 years now, and they still last for 4+ hours. And they only cost me like 50 bucks.
1:04 Or wait for the seal to degrade and fail when you’re trying to replace the eartips, unfortunately I have to get new air pods because the ribbon cable broke during the same incident.
What time did it take ? How much do you think it should be charged ? Awesome job, I hope that while it becomes easier with experience and proper tools, Apple will do a better job with the next generation, perhaps with some help of regulatory constraints Keep it up !
I replaced the batteries in my OG airpods from 2017 successfully by taking it slow and forcing myself to be patient. How would you compare the difficulty level of the airpods pro battery replacement to the original? I’m going to have to do my APP soon. Honestly because of all the adhesive and sealant for protection to liquid Ingress, these look like they’re going to be a lot more difficult.
First of all congratulations you’re a beast for doing this repair 🧑🔧 🦍 However I’m wondering if the sound quality is the same as before opening or if you can hear a difference with the repaired AirPod
@@mazahaka3691 hey man ✌️, im not sure for this point as, I’m doing repairs as well, once I had to remove an iPhone speaker and when I placed it back and tested everything, I was able to hear a very bad difference as I broke the isolation made of silicone to propeller aim the song out of the speaker hole. That’s why I was just wondering as he broke the « original seal » by opening the airpord, if the sound quality would’ve been different.
They make these this way on purpose, they want you to buy a new set instead of repairing them. Though I've not heard or used this brand, Fairphone Fairbuds, they are designed to be able to replace the batteries in the earbuds and the charging case if they go bad. And they are IP54 rated so splash/sweat proof. Not to mention that the Fairphone is also very repairable and anyone can do it with a little common sense.

Dude I really need your help in resetting my earbuds. My earbuds aren't pairing together, they both pair seperately and if I take out my left and right buds out of the earbuds one connects and the other does not. Can you help me please. If you do I genuinely appreciate your help man. Thank you so much.
He showed the samsung buds and how easy it is to repair but failed to mention how samsung stopped production because of quality control issues. I owned galaxy buds and they stopped working after I dropped them one time but I have dropped my air pods hundreds of times with no issues. I think all of the glue is actually a good thing because it means the airpods last as long as possible.

Apple has always designed products to prevent you repairing them. It's how they make money.
That’s why they try to talk you down from buying the more expensive products. They don’t want you to get AppleCare.
@jaykuz3496 I find thay always try and sell it to you.
We Europeans will rescue you. Everything has to be repairable until 2027, and as with USB Type C, Apple will bend the knee and obey as ordered.
When the time comes, I'll of course try to do this too. I've replaced my iPad Pro battery, so I can do this too!!!
