Reply to comment by beegreen in Apple’s New AirPods Are Telling Users to Replace the Batteries Already. Too Bad That’s Impossible by speckz

I’m someone who loves good tech, regardless of where it comes from. I own and regularly switch between Mac, PC, and Linux computers. I have owned both Android and Apple phones, sometimes even using both at the same time.

Over the years, as I have purchased and tried out whatever the latest and greatest headphones were available, I have accumulated over 20 pairs and easily $3000-$5000 worth of various headphones/headsets/earbuds. Bose, Audiotechnica, Sennheiser, Logitech, Astro, Apple, etc…

I love gadgets and electronics. In fact, one of my alt Reddit accounts was actually an admin/mod on /r/gadgets for quite some time.

My problem is that I have very small ear canals, and all of the earbuds that rely on ear canal pressure to stay in (the vast majority of earbuds on the market) are painful and uncomfortable for me.

The thing I dislike the most about Apple AirPods is the fact that their batteries are not replaceable. I really wish they would put the batteries in the stems and then make the stems so they could be screwed on or off to easily swap out the batteries. That would be awesome.

Same problem here. Try some Symbio W hybrid tips. They're silicone outers with memory foam inners and they have rescued so many pairs of IEMs from my "these are uncomfortable" box.
