Nvm replaceable batteries, I keep buying 2-3 pairs of ear buds a year because I keep forgetting them in my pants when I wash them, or I give them a pat down and don't feel them inside of them.

My wife wanted me to buy her a pair of air pods.

I'm like, get a pair of headphones to last you more than a month, then we'll talk.

I can't tell you how many pairs of cheap earbuds we've gone through. Either lost or eaten (damn dog). Almost always just the right earbud. Never the left. I have so many lefts left.

Far from it, but that started long before the first lost earbud.

I've had three sets of earbuds where the right one has died of no apparent cause shortly after the warranty expired.

I'm starting to think it's intentional.

My dog chewed on one of my Buds 2 Pro earpiece after owning them for two months cause I left the door open. Managed to open the case and everything lol

They sell cases for you to attach an airtag to your headphones case. And the pro version of the iheadphones have individual find my capabilities. Should allow you to locate all three items provided you remember to look while they still have batteries.
