Not when they're twice the price is decent Sonys

You can get a decent pair of sonys for €150? The conversion rate must be better than I thought!

Even the $300+ pairs are hardly ‘decent’. The sound signature is all over the place & overly bassy.

Can you replace the battery at the Sonys?

Yes. I just replaced the ones in my wife's Sony earphones by following a step by step guide on ifixit. Cost me $15 for the batteries including shipping, and they're not even any sort of exotic type or size.

Edit: okay just read the article. Guess these are a lot more convenient to replace than the Sony ones.

That's the point. If you have devices where parts can be replaced easily and, ideally, inexpensively, I'm happy to spend a little more money.And support the project.
