The second-generation Apple AirPods Pro were disassembled by iFixit, which destroyed the wireless earphones.
Like their predecessors, Apple’s most recent earbuds are impossible to fix, although other manufacturers have demonstrated that there are ways to make earbuds repairable.
Better sound and a few new capabilities are promised by the Apple AirPods Pro of the second generation, but the style hasn’t changed. Unfortunately, as the iFixit deconstruction video demonstrates, this also applies to the construction.
The wireless earbuds’ plastic housing can hardly be opened without breaking it. The battery and most plugs have been extensively covered in adhesive, making removal challenging. iFixit needed to split the case in half to eliminate the antennae and touch controls.
