    Thats perfectly fine, if they sold a replacement battery as a standalone thing. There is nothing complex about doing the replacement yourself, except that you cant buy the battery anywhere. Cell-phone batteries are significantly harder to replace, yet don't cost $150+ to do so.

    1964 Ears Adel IEMs

    How is the isolation on the A series? I'm interested in getting a pair, but my main listening locations will be in the office and or traveling, and I'm concerned the ADEL port will let too much ambient noise in. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance
