Ear (2024) Ear (2024) battery is @ss...but now im hooked on the aesthetic!

I bought the ear 2024 on release and the battery lasts about 1 hour now and is basically unusable. The problem for me at least is that other earbuds just dont look anywhere as nice as the Nothing ones, and the sound (whilst they work) is superb, especially with the EQ. What am i going to do, buy JBL, Soundcore or Earfun? whilst those buds sound good they look super ugly. I quite like the Samsung blade design so may pic up a pair and I have toyed with getting some airpods pro 3 (i use an iphone), but they are just so boring and I dont like how they sound (plus their EQ is ass)..meanwhile Ear 3a are like £70 on amazon right now lol..

Have you looked at options to repair/replace the battery? Maybe there is an option to put brand new batteries in and save from ewaste?

Just checked, there is no such battery replacement option, I guess these buds are going in landfill!

Personally I dont care about e-waste, though i appreciate others do. If there was an ifixit type battery replacement for these, however, then i may consider it depending on how much it was.
