Samsung Galaxy Buds+ Teardown

Teardown

Introduction

  1. kmtLFvMKq5sRPkGt

    • The Galaxy Buds Plus earn a 7 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is easiest to repair):

    • External assemblies are held together with clips instead of glue, making for a non-destructive entry process.

    • Disassembly can be accomplished with common prying tools and a Phillips screwdriver.

    • The earbuds use rechargeable coin-cell batteries that are easier than ever to replace.

    • Opening procedure is a bit unorthodox, and can cause cosmetic damage to the buds.

    • Careful prying is required throughout to separate components without tearing fragile cables or otherwise damaging the buds.

Would be nice if you could ID the rest of the major IC’s too.

Sean Davis -

where can I find replacement parts?

Michel -

More wireless earbud teardowns, please! I would also like to see the Galaxy Buds+ drivers.

Mike Housholder -

possible to swap in a higher capacity battery for the buds+ and the case to increase total usable time in between charging.

K T -

is there space to possibly double the capacity of buds case by soldering another 1.03wh battery in parallel?

K T -

How do I calibrate the battery for the buds+ case if I replaced the battery for it. If so, how long do I calibrate it for? I previously replaced the batteries for the earbuds themselves and was informed to calibrate it until fully charged plus 2 hours, then let it drain completely, then recharge it to full. Does this sound right or am I off for the battery case?
