These horrific portable wireless earphones are anti-right-to-repair in several areas. Most importantly, their design prevents all but the most deft of hands from replacing their internal Li-Ion rechargable batteries, rendering them useless due to a part which inevitably ages over time, like tyres on a car. If you had to throw your car away because it was physically impossible to replace the tyres without ruining the body of the car, that would be Airpods.

They also led to an era of lossy, awful wireless-only sound, by allowing manufacturers to justify removing lossless, CD quality headphone outputs from their phones and audio devices. Bluetooth is always lossy. Even Sony Ericsson sold breakout boxes for normal headphones for their C905, W995, for example.
