Small and practical, wireless headphones have a limited lifespan. To avoid putting your hand in your pocket, some consider replacing certain parts such as the battery. But which headphones are the easiest to repair?

It's small and practical, but it's also very fragile. Wireless headphones have established themselves on the audio market and each manufacturer has its own model. But now, a fall and they must be replaced. To avoid breaking the bank, some devices are sold for more than 200 euros, iFixit offers to test the “repairability” of products before buying them. This time around, it's tackling Samsung's Galaxy Buds Live. If previously the brand had obtained the graces of the specialized site, with its Galaxy Buds, the compact shape of these new beans suggested that the task would be more difficult. This is obviously not the case since the headphones obtain a score of 8 out of 10 in the test. The strong point of the headphones lies in the ease of changing the battery, which extends the life of the product.

The media specifies that both the box and the headphones offer a very easy opening, which makes it easy to start the repair, or to have it done. There is no need for soldering or glue and all elements are accessible without having to replace the majority of parts. For the replacement of the battery, if it is easy to perform, iFixit notes all the same that it is difficult to obtain the model necessary for the Buds Live. Despite everything, the pair of headphones is far ahead of Apple's AirPods which had obtained a score of 0 out of 10 since it was impossible to access the parts without damaging the device.

According to the UN, in 2019, more than 17 billion pieces of electronic waste were produced worldwide. Only 17% of them have been recycled. In Europe, the situation is just as alarming since production is estimated at 13 billion tonnes. The impossibility of replacing the battery on headphones considerably increases this production of waste, since it will be necessary to replace your pair of headphones as soon as they lose their effectiveness.
