Bang & Olufsen's Beoplay Eleven earbuds, touted for their sustainable battery replacement, face criticism for their impractical and labor-intensive battery access, undercutting their claim of ease.
The teardown reveals the Beoplay Eleven's design obstructs easy battery replacement, with a laborious process even for professionals, raising significant doubts about the earbuds' sustainability claims.
Despite Bang & Olufsen claiming that the earbuds allow battery replacement 'by service', the teardown indicates it is not a practical solution for consumers at home.
iFixit's teardown revealed that the Beoplay Eleven is essentially identical to the 2022 Beoplay EX, leading to questions about the originality and purpose of the new model.
