There’s no room for connectors in something that small.

Looks like they are using a stock button cell. What’s the battery life like on that? I’m guessing that’s where the sacrifice is. Also according to what I saw online those buds are still glued together so it isn’t like changing the batteries in a remote.

Yes, you have to use a hair dryer to loosen them before pulling them apart. That said, that’s way easier than the apple ones

Battery life was good at first, but the batteries did age so I’m only getting 3 hours of anc play time now
