Does that power them?
and for what’s it’s worth the earbud equivalent of those is what I was referencing. at least for the xm3 variant the batteries are pretty simple to change out at least. I wish they had gone with a cell that was cheaper and easier to obtain but that’s also partially on the actual battery vendors who refuse to sell directly to consumers or even to parts distributors like mouser or digikey and will only sell in huge volumes to vendors like sony or whoever.
In the land of Bluetooth in ear headphones they’re definitely one of the most repairable models out there, but I just don’t think it’s worth bothering when a cable isn’t that big of a deal and you can still ultimately make cabled headphones wireless in a way that will usually result in headphones that last exponentially longer
The cable for the audio doesn't power them. In that mode the noise cancelling also doesn't work. So it's really useful but you lose features using the cable. But I think the mic works. Although it sucks anyway.
