Thank you so much for sharing!! I have to open them because my charging port got loose and is now lost inside of it. I actually have them twice, the first one had a cable break on both sides after one year of everyday use. The current ones are in use since 3-4 years and i‘ve never had any problems before.
Glad the video helped (at least a bit). Others have said the charging port has come loose on them as well, although it's not a problem I've had. Hopefully it's an easy fix. My first pair lasted a very long time. My 2nd pair is fine, but it takes a second or two longer to connect and shut off compared to the first one. Thanks for commenting and good luck.
Thanks for leaving a note. Others have said theirs was repairable, so I'm not sure if I got a bad one, or one made the wrong year or the other guy was just lucky. The battery on my new headset doesn't seem to last as long as that of the old one, however it's just an opinion and not measured. My old one seemed to go many days before needing a charge where this one is only a day of two of my typical usage. Either way they're not overtly expensive and I may very well have spent 40 - 60% of a new one to replace the battery in the old one. Thanks again for the comment.
Thanks for the comment and that's interesting to know. I feel like the battery should be replaceable given it has a connector, so I guess I just got a bad one. Thanks for letting us know.
Same with mine. I have the WorkTunes Connect Gel and opened the battery side a year ago to check on how difficult it would be to replace the battery. Opened very easily. Not sure why the pair in this video had the wires staked so tightly. Might be the upgraded the models and stopped making them problematic to take apart. I have gotten an 800mAH battery from AliExpress that includes the thermistor wire and connector. Have to install it when I have time. The battery only charges to about 60% and drops to 50% pretty fast. If they sit for week the battery is usually dead.
Mine must have been an upgraded model cause the wires weren't glued. They are part of a rubber connector that came free when I took it apart. However, I'm having trouble actually finding a replacement battery. Any leads on sourcing the battery?
Thanks for asking. I don't remember how I found what I believe was a replacement battery but it was straight forward. I believe I searched something like "3M Worktunes Connect battery" and found some part numbers. Then searching the part numbers lead to Amazon/eBay sites which showed pictures of what appeared to be replacements. The pieces looked to be the right size/shape and had the appropriate connector (at least in the pictures) I think it was around $22 or so. Since I didn't actually buy it, I have no records and don't know if I had located the correct ones but I was confident enough at the time that I would have purchased it. I hope this helps and wish you luck. Maybe if you find the right one you can post it here in the comments for others? Thanks again for reaching out.
Thanks for the question. My headphones looked brand new and worked fine right up to the point I ruined them. The USB connector was always snug in the headset and I always had to carefully engage it (it's easy to have it backwards). Yea; I think I had it about 7 years. I remember using them while working on specific project where I was running a loud machine. That project was many years ago. I tossed my old one so I don't know for sure, but you may be able to open them up and re-attach the board which holds the connector. Let us know and thanks again.

I decided to take them back to the store as I had them less than 6 months and barely used. They exchanged them with a new pair. I really like how they work. @@jazbuilding
