Just DIY change battery for my XM3 and XM4 lately. XM3 is easy to pry open. XM4 need a heat gun to loossen the glue. I think the earbuds can last for few years like the wired headset if we can change the battery ourselves.

Easy job.. 10mins can settle 1 side. Most time consuming on opening up earbud.. after that, it is easy like playing Lego..

guess I'm the latest to join the fast batt drain for the right bud, bought in 2022, light user, only noticed recently right bud batt is draining a lot more faster than left
live chat with local Sony agent, said no such service as free replacement, no memo no nothing from Sony M'sia, advised me to send in to nearest service center for diagnosis, which I'll need to pay min RM40+ for that service... damn... Anyone still managed to get theirs claimed foc? |
