Fairphone Fairbuds setting the standard for repairable design.
They've been out a year now. When they can best the sound quality of my Technics AZ80s, or when Technics follows-suit, I'm all in :)

that's pretty pricey for such a simple wireless earbud, plastic everything, small battery and bulky housing to accommodate for repair-ability seems like strange tradeoff. From the photos it really looks like something that should be 80% cheaper.
"recycled plastic" -- who cares, literally everything has recycled plastic
Going after sound quality, wired ear buds + Bluetooth Aux adapter could get a decent bang for the buck and likely better overall battery life. I imagine that if battery replacement/repair is something that matters it means you plan to use earbuds fairly often and could use something durable.
Some people don't like wires anymore, I get it
