-[* black] First thing that catches our eye is adhesive. And out of a sudden we understand, why Nothing decided to make the ear (1) only partly transparent. They know just as we do adhesive is not very pleasing!
-[* black] Second thing is a button cell battery similar to the one we already saw in the [guide|127551|AirPods Pro|new_window=true] and the [link|https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Buds+Pro+Teardown/140125%7C|Galaxy Buds Pro|new_window=true].
- [* black] As long this is not a custom cell this might be a good sign regarding replaceability.
-[* black] To keep on going we need to disconnect the in-ear portion from the stem and it seems like that we're lucky with adhesive for once!
- [* black] The fashionable and very present red adhesive is supposed to glue this tiny press fit connector to its socket and prevents it from accidentally disconnecting during a fall.
- [* black] But with a lot of delicacy and without any heating or tearing we manage to maneuver our tweezers around the adhesive and to disconnect the flex cable anyway. Hurray!
