Working on a modern car engine is the best analogy I can think of in regards to how this headphone is assembled and physically designed.

Even for something simple, my Infiniti requires 17 bolts to be removed to change the oil. The jack points on it make it time consuming if you are you using a floor jack and floor stands. You have to jack up each side twice to get the jack stands placed properly with my floor jack... at $80 for a synthetic change, the dealership can do it.

Gotta give kudos to Sony though… this is a very serviceable design.

What?! No video thought?! ;)

There are about four videos on how to do this - Didn't watch any of them. However, there are no written guides. I took a ton of photos, so could write a guide. After removing the cup shell, I noticed I could cut it back from 23 screws to 14.

Did you get far enough in to discover if the un-replaceable battery can be... replaced?

Battery could be replaced in under 15 mins with only four screws and a little glue. Swivel took about 40 mins having never done before and taking a lot of pics.

Oh great, thanks. Mind you, the Sony WH-1000XM series might be in double digits by the time I actually buy one.

I keep thinking, maybe next time I fly. And I keep not flying.

The batteries on these are really nice. I own the M2, 2x M3, and an M4. I use these about 3800 hours per year according to the Sony app. Even at this use level, the My five year old M2 still hold a charge like new. I'm about 50/50 between the M4 and M2, not much M3 use.

Super recommendation, thanks. It seems you must quite like the sound too? :)
