I love your videos, I was wondering, is it possible to use airpods in a fake airpods case?
Oof btw u a legend
@@Mr.Pufferson it has alkaline
If anyone can repair them, it’s you.
When I repair the battery case airpod I always got blood on my hand 😂
Damn, be careful

Who’s ?

There ought to be laws against designing products to be unrepairable.
I agree
We will end up with a lot of Plastic parts that Serve nothing
There is a right to repair law for a few months now
That's why we should support right to repair
no thanks i dont like the government
@@treeskers they are the only reason why you aren't dead
we can always rely on apple to design their devices like this
This is basically the exact same thing with any other set of wireless earbuds ever, not just Apple
@@Optimus7591 but apple always do the worst
@@Optimus7591 Everybody seems to follow the trendsetter. Thanks apple.
@@Batknight109 id like to see how much harder it is to replace to replace airpod batteries compared to Sony’s WF-1000XM4s. I think the AirPods would be easier
Maybe not wanted bc it would be bigger and when u drop it not as save as when its compact
Who would've thought the company that hates consumers getting inside their phones will make their earbuds impossible to repair
Yes they specifically designed the AirPods so no one would repair them
which earphones are easy to open or repair?
okay mr designer, how would you create earphones that are easy to repair. criticize apple when they are wrong, but also use your brain.
@@prabhsaini1 i thought Apple liked the environment? Why don't they just their billions of dollars to make them good to earth and reduce e-waste?
@@prabhsaini1 put a screwable top, invert the location of anode cathode to make it looks like a normal battery. China can do it. This coming from apple who put 5v rails besides the main power rail so a drop of water will destroy the whole MacBook.
The way he sounded so dejected when the battery flex cable ripped out has me dying lol

all their products tbh, locking replacement through software is awful
I got idea for apple next phone gona be same as last one but comes with no battery so u have to buy the app battery install kits that cost 10k
@@Ryan-mv5wi don't give them ideas
bt earbuds are designed to be tiny for the maximum user convenience and very difficult to no repairability is to be fully expected here, so thats not like not including a charger in the box... which... you know... vast majority already have, especially since many are upgrading, so when it was included most users left it in the box, it was a zero day landfill. I dont even like apple at all, would never use any of their crap, but l can see why it appeals to many.
honestly they should stop including their crappy wired earbuds as well, which are also left in the box... I think they will stop doing that, as soon as they go portless in near future... apple users will just get a phone and maybe wireless charger with the first generation, after that just the phone.

I’ve done this 4 times on different airpods 1. Out of the 4 only one made it out without any plastic damage. They’re all still working btw and the battery replacement is worth it.
And you wonder why its smart to hsve a wired pair and a wireless pait
@@connerwine8257 It's even smarter to just not buy Crapple products.
The difficulty of opening up the AirPods proves how you’re NOT supposed to be in there lol
"how they don't want to you be in there" FTFY
"If you cant repair it it isnt yours"
I don't like airpods or apple, at all, but it's not about not wanting you in there, they were designed to be small, water resistant in general just convenient, although I am sure apple likes the side effect of those not being repairable.. if they were, apple would for sure soft block these on their phones, when a non genuine part² is detected.
__
²apple works very hard to make sure their spare parts are not provided to everyone not authorized for repairs and even if authorized you still need proof that you are ordering the part to fix a phone, not resell the part. I have replaced the battery in someones iphone 6s, and while it was easy, that has disabled touchid.. which makes zero sense, as the touch id was never touched, it's just apple being assholes as they are.
@@hexidev people can’t repair their house without someone else does that mean they don’t own it
@@bigamateur9055 what your saying is true u can do the repairs but most places you need a professional to come out just to check everything is to standards in other words you payed someone and technically didn’t do it yourself
At our repair shop we refuse to do airpod repairs for this reason. You basically have to tear them apart to get inside them and it won’t go back together nice. I always tell people to just get new AirPod’s because they are cheaper and more reliable than repairing them.
You are definitely doing the right thing for those customers. I could see if the repair could be done without damaging any plastic and for around $50-$80, it might be worth it to some people. I just bought the 3rd gens with the applecare plan and I get so much use out of them that I wouldn't even care if they broke right outside of the 2 year applecare plan, I would just buy another.
Major props for trying this repair. Love watching your videos. Keep up the good work 👍
Apple: “We removed chargers from iPhone boxes to create less e-waste”.
Same Apple: “If you AirPod batteries goes bad, throw it away and buy a new one”.
True
nah man that's not same. bt earbuds are designed to be tiny for the maximum user convenience and very difficult to no repairability is to be fully expected here, so thats not like not including a charger in the box... which... you know... vast majority already have, especially since many are upgrading, so when it was included most users left it in the box, it was a zero day landfill.

@@beardsntools you have a point the buds are smaller then the charger
yeah, why would you just replace a 10 dollar battery when they can get you to spend 200 dollars to buy new ones.
why copy and paste comments?
grils: do guys even have feelings?
me and the boys when battery doesn't get replaced: ;-;
Yooo I’ve been excited for this video just so I could tell my dad that it’s possible lol
😂
Lucky u have a dad

You should collab with ifixit and make custom PRG repair tools.
THE COLAB OF THE CENTURY
These are an improvement over the 1st gen buds. czcams.com/users/postUgkxK5mc3yw4xA7Mf2j6k6n1Uqv_KUgrKdeM Pros: The fit is fantastic. This is the biggest plus. They stay in my ears when running and become unnoticeable. They are tight but comfortable. The sound quality is about the same as the 1st gen buds. They pair more easily with my LG G8 ThinQ and immediately reconnect when removed from the case. The sound balance is excellent, good but not overpowering base and clean mid tones and highs.Cons: The noise cancellation is good but perhaps a little less effective than the Bose ANC on the 1st gen buds. Passthrough mode as not as good as the 1st gen buds making it a little more difficult to hear conversations when in passthrough.
Seeing your failures alongside successes is why you’re one of my favorite CZcams channels.
Appreciate you
Rip AirPods, nice Home Depot music 😂😂
noice
😂🤝
I love the new video format! Learning so much from these vids while also being entertained is not something that you can find everyday on CZcams
That's crazy u pulled that off good job love ur work
LOL .... you are so good at this stuff that even the 'fails' are interesting and informative.
Never would have thought to go this far tor repair these lil bastards.
I've repaired a few of the knock-off brands but they weren't this difficult to disassemble. Maybe it was like you said about Apple using so much glue.
I even had the ends of the pods come off in the battery case. Just reconnected the wires were they looked like were supposed to go and resuper-glued the ends ..... waaalaaaa ... and I haven't had any explosions .... YET 😱
Thanks for all you share and educating the masses. ✌😎👍
Stay cool.
🙌🏼
We hope that the new battery arrive as soon as possible 🙏🏻
respect for trying to repair a pair of these. most of repair shops I contacted refuse to replace airpods battery, so it must be hella difficult to do it.
hopefully one day you successfully pulled it off
Every time I watch your Videos, I cant think of that you are in CZcams! Its like you are tralking to me, its like I know you, its like you are my friend. Thank you Phone Repair Guru!! YOU MADE MY DAY
I really appreciate the home depot tool building montage 😉
Appreciate the effort! That looks like a huge pain in the ass. I've been wanting to see the process though, so thanks!
Your persistence attitude to repair has my respect bro
Kudos to your creativity and accepting challenge..that was awesome
My hardest thing wasn‘t the pulling out battery with the flex but to solder it right with the new one. Ordered is from bangood or aliexpress to try it out. Ending the battery soldering with messed up airpodplastik and connections.. that was the hardest
you know when the video is masterpiece when there's a lot of emotions going on
What a great effort put into fixing the airpods 👏
RIP iShurikens!!! Love love love your videos and your instant lingos.
I remember having to argue with a customer as to why I didn’t even want to attempt this. Ended up saying sure, but it’ll cost you the exact price as a pair of new ones.
"Sorry, you bought e-waste with planned obsolesence. Better luck with choices next time."
Airpods are just garbage. Wired earphones are better. 10 dollar earbuds last way longer as well.
@@hanzo9941 meh, I love mine. They are convinient and sound good
@@altanis1499 the Pro's sound good, the regular ones suck cock. Convenient, yes. But we'll see how convenient it will be buying new buds every 2-3 years...
@@hanzo9941 you denial or what boy?
Well done! Your narration sounds far more relaxed and less hyperactive: A definite improvement
on previous videos.
Hope to see your new video about battery replacement please add your video link. Also so far you did a good job too
Yoooo man congratulations for 2m!!
To be honest I would’ve been fine with a cut up case, and AirPods with exposed stems if that means I can easily replace the batteries whenever I’m ready. THATS the video to make - Transplant AirPod guts into a 3d printed plastic holder of some type.
that would be chunky and kinda defeats owning an apple product in first place... as ugly as airpods are.. I gotta admit they did the charging case right. I wish someone else would make their case this thin.
I gutted my old AirPod 2nd generation right one, and turned it into a keychain. It got water damaged in the washer.
The fact you compacted this into 7 minutes and it was still well paced is sub worthy! (I thought I was already subbed lel)
Your videos are great learning curve for me
This is straight up anti consumer. These can never be repaired without destroying them. Frankly this should be illegal as these would be considered E-waste
No, bt earbuds are designed to be tiny for the maximum user convenience and very difficult to no repairability is to be fully expected here. To make these more repairable they would have to be chunkier and lose the water resistance, defeats the purpose as that makes them inconvenient to use, so no, that wont be ever illegal. This is coming from someone who doesn't like apple at all.
@@beardsntools It's not a great excuse. The Samsung Galaxy Buds Pros are tiny as well, but the battery can easily be replaced. The air tag is the same way. Very hard to replace the battery, where a lot of similar products let you replace the battery, like a car key battery. They're purposely designed to be e-waste. Grateful to the folk that find a way, but it involves a lot of complicated work that the average person can't do.
@@JoiceVaderd galaxy buds and airpods are two different designs.. galaxy buds have a bulky charging case as result and arent as water resistant because samsuck has ipX2 and asspods have ipX4. I am not talking about other apple products, I know they like to block repairs, but this one isn't a case. These were designed just for convenience, everything was sacrificed for that, including the sound quality(compared to other bt earbuds these sound like crap). They are designed to fit nicely even in smallest pockets, so crapple didn't have to go out of their way to do anything to make these hard to repair.
@@beardsntools I dunno about the regular galaxy buds. I have the pros. The case is the same size as the regular airpods. I bought the regular airpods and airpods pros, as well. I don't have a bias on either one, tbh. The airpods I use with apple products and the galaxy buds I use with other products. Except my desktop. I have speakers for my desktop
It’s definitely hard to fix. I’m just wondering if you customer would accept the cosmetic damaged on AirPods.
these are probably his, or given to him and the video is probably merely him challenging himself to try to repair it... I would do the same, just to see if I can do it, if I am ever given a dead pair of asspods and if I succeed I would just give them back or destroy them because I would never use it.
Thank you so much for all of your entertaining content!
Your best video ever. Seriously. I could watch that all day.
That’s king thank you
Wow, I had never seen an airpods repair video, and I definitely see why now. I see a lot of people saying that it should be more repairable in the comments. While I think right to repair is good, I find that implementing such features on the airpods would be more difficult considering its form factor, minimalis design, and size. What could could realistically be done to make the airpods easier to work with while preserving these qualities?
Great video btw!:)
This. I looked for someone to say that. Repairability at this scale is close to unrealistic
Watching you struggle with the AirPod case was like watching other repairmen struggle with iPhones which you can probably fix with your eyes closed.
first time seeing your channel I like how you do things even if you do them wrong. hahaha
to error is human.
you sir have a new subscriber 👍👍
The insert pops out much easier when you soak some isopropyl alcohol into the joint, it softens the adhesive spots on the clips, you need it for the battery adhesive in any case.
In all fairness to Apple, when ever I’ve had any AirPod issues they’ve always straight out replaced the faulty piece. Your covered under a two year warranty under EU law. Not sure about the U.S. though.
it's only way to do it with something this small made for convenience. This is probably why they bothered to make it so water resistant because if it was not water resistant and liquid got inside, they cannot open them to inspect for stickers turning red, at least not without destroying them, so they would have to replace more pairs for free.
But it's not environmental friendly. Imagine where all those damaged ones end up. Also in Africa nothing is ever under warranty so once it's damaged imagine having to cough hard cash for new ones yet u can repair them
@@brinohosey7498 Yeah they don’t care about the environment even though they claim they don’t include a charger anymore for environmental reasons. Even though I still have to go out and buy new chargers because everything is USB-C now and all my plugs are regular USB 😡.
Honestly looking at all this just makes me think replaceable AA/AAA batteries just might be a better choice for certain things
Great idea, won’t be too big with a AAA on your ear 😅
"certain things"
Good job appreciate it 👍 👏
Very good patience u hv 😌
Your repairing are Wery relaxic 😊
Apple: we're removing charging bricks whilst charging the same prices to save the environment
Also Apple: allow me to make your devices in repairable so when it breaks you throw it away instead of fixing
nah man that's not same. bt earbuds are designed to be tiny for the maximum user convenience and very difficult to no repairability is to be fully expected here, so thats not like not including a charger in the box... which... you know... vast majority already have, especially since many are upgrading, so when it was included most users left it in the box, it was a zero day landfill.

@@beardsntools Exactly.
Almost like Apple doesn't want you to repair it so you 'll have to buy another pair. Very Apple if you ask me
So much fun seeing this repair video 😂😂😂
Your, videos are so informative and love your voice.
Thank you so much!
@@PhoneRepairGuru ❤❤❤
I can see that you are a man of taste for having a Hakko. But I would've expected nothing less from Apple. Next time, take apart a Bean.
This was probably the hardest thing I’ve done…
In terms of repair.
You good at what you do, ish happens we know you going get it right. We waiting for you to get what you need so we can see the finish product.👍🏾
Man you are so good at this
Man, ive messed with some electronics and i still so, i wanna learn to repair like you do, and i think de-soldering is one of the hardest things
Great video, you have a lot of patience!
Thanks!
I love your long videos need more!
Been waiting for another operation procedure from you. Now make custom adjustment with that airpod
I like the "we are going to pry on the battery gently" statement made while your hands are trembling and turning red from the strain....lol
Your channel is pretty amazing, you have the knowledge, the voice, the easy going likeable character that should serve you well in this environment. Thanks for the time it takes to conceive, create, edit and UL these videos man..
6 months late but what a kind comment. Very much appreciated
Just like you I was trying to pull it from the front but the two clip is on the side and is rather easy to pull out for anyone who’s trying to pull apart the case
Thanks for video👍👍🙏
The home depot theme tho😳👍
Hey so I’m curious, I do repairs on stuff but wanna do custom back glasses for phones as well as removals of back glasses do you suggest using laser tools for this? And if so do you have any specific machine suggestion? Im new to that side of phone repairs and was wondering if you had any suggestions
ultrA transitioin at 3:46 , never seen a cut in a video this perfect , there was one in a tv show fron the 1980 it was a cartoon where they had a big 5 meter long wall which was red on one end and blue on the other and they just filmed the hole wall and after the wall the show went on
Keep going u r the best on that❤️❤️
Thank you for the video.
Great Video Dude!
You ' ll survive, You are a brave man !!!!
I like the colors of the fabric
Always good to show your failures. Thats true professionalism.
Ha3 iam gona cry in the corner🤣..you did well bro, don’t give up you can.. enjoy watch you video bro💪🏻👍👍👍👍👍
No one expected the ending😂
Honestly there could have been very little done to make this easier but I do see room for it
Thumb up for your honesty 👍😊
Props on the Home Depot™️ Theme Lol, fits good.
Damn love the dank pods style video
I love the Home Depot music, the best song in history
WOAH THE PRODUCTION QUALITY!!!
What I used to do when I used to repair my wired earphones when they didn't work (like one earphone no working) I would just cut the earphones outer cover off and then do the sodding/ attaching the cables and then glue the cover again and if I am carful enough there's no traces of cutting on the cover are left and it's good as before.
Phone Repair Guru can you make more of laptop repairing videous bro
The casual “then you screw it..sounds weird “ had me weak lolll
daaaamn ... ur repairs are too good
I did this repair and filmed a video I was so sure I would break it but I didn’t amazingly
Dude I do believe in my heart that you could fix anything electronic! So kudos to you! I dropped my iPad Air the other day and now half the screen doesn’t work! What should I do! 😢😢😢
Great attempt I have considered doing this to bring new life to my AirPods, but it looks scary difficult. Maybe when they are completely dead and unusable
Forget the repair… i wanna know what you were using to showcase the airpod case! The green screen thing. Id love to set up something like that to take some cool product pics! Please respond and tell me!
1:30 the music tho. Lowe's, never stop improving.
Nothing is impossible for the phone guru :)
Awesome video Bhaijaan
Can you recomend me a heat gun for screen replacement or heating plate?
Keep it up legend ❤️
The Home Depot music was sooo appropriate! 😂
idk why I didn’t come this is underrated.
can you link me that blue table mat/screw holder.
