The Samsung Galaxy Buds Live earn an 8 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):
-
All enclosures are held together with clips instead of glue, allowing for non-destructive opening procedures.
-
Disassembly can be accomplished with common tools and a Phillips screwdriver.
-
All batteries are easily accessible and replaceable.
-
Most other major components (circuit boards, speaker drivers, etc.) are relatively modular and can be replaced independently.
-
Adhesive is used to keep many of the internal components together, though it is not excessive and can be reused for reassembly.
-
Careful prying is required throughout to separate components without tearing fragile cables or otherwise damaging the buds.

I love how they know it looks like a bean.
On an related note, this would make the most expensive pot of baked beans ever.

You only mention the Broadcom chip, can you annotate the other major IC’s?
Yes please, this would be most useful.
Agree, more info please!
Nicely done teardown video. Is there a detailed report with part dimensions available (for purchase?).
Unfortunately, iFixit does not do in-depth of an analysis of products. However, Techinsights does but the report for this device (https://www.techinsights.com/products/dd...) is still in creation as of I am writing this.
Just note that obtaining those reports from them comes through a subscription than a report-by-report basis.
