B&O’s earbuds with replaceable batteries for a ‘longer-lasting product’ get slammed for not being very replaceable

• iFixit gives the Beoplay Eleven one out of ten
• Says the batteries are no more replaceable than AirPods’
• Beoplay Eleven are “far behind” Apple in terms of tech

One of the big selling points of Bang & Olufsen’s gorgeous Beoplay Eleven earbuds was their replaceable batteries, which promised a longer lifespan.

As we noted at the time, that replacement was only via service techs, and now iFixit has taken a look and concluded that they’re going to need to be very special service techs.
