Whether it be electronics, automobiles or medical equipment, the manufacturers should not be able to horde “oem” parts, render your stuff useless if you repair it with aftermarket parts, or hide schematics of their products.

TLDR:

In reality, the Pixel Buds 2a feel like a half-finished product. The buds themselves, like most of the earbud market, are an unrepairable mess, even if there’s some evidence that the team was flirting with a serviceable design early in the process. However, the charging case is the best we’ve seen. Google’s tracking in the right direction for repairable buds, but they might need a generation or two more to nail it.

they gave a 10/10 to the Fairphone fairbuds

How is this charging case better?
