    Anyone found any decent wireless ones with replaceable batteries? I was interested in the Fairbuds XL but it’s not well reviewed.

    For a while I had a pair of Sennheiser TV headphones that took AAAs, but they required a dedicated transmitter and weren’t great for music anyway.

      So these definitely aren’t audiophile grade audio, but I have the Steelseries Nova Pro Wireless, which come with two hot-swappable and replaceable batteries. Always changing one while the other is in use, so I never have to worry.

      Main reason I got it was the dual/simultaneous USB and Bluetooth. I’m on Discord or calls on my phone a lot for personal, but want to stay connected to PC via USB for audio (either Teams for the work pc or gaming on my desktop).

      I’ve heard the newer version is slightly better, but probably still below audiophile standards. Either way my ears are pretty wrecked and I can’t really pick up fine notes. They’re fine by me!

      If I search for Fairbuds XL reviews most of them seem very positive and hardly point out any major flaws. What are some of the negative aspects?
