I truly love the way industrial designers think, its great that the longer a speaker is used by the customer, the lower its CO² footprint. Also really appreciate that the creators put an emphasis on its easiness of repair, especially the battery component as its usually the first one to give up in speakers. They published a tutorial on how to repair it, really appreciate them going this far for consumers

if a rich audiophile replaces his speakers every year with the latest and greatest, and his old speakers get passed down the food chain to other audiophiles with lower budgets, what falls off the other end of the chain is a very old speaker which whose carbon foot print has been amortized over 10 years or more, and a better listening experience for everybody in between, and perhaps even speakers for people who would not otherwise even have them who picked them up at Goodwill.

also, a healthier industry with more employment for folks who won't have much employment if they only sell a pair of speakers every 10 years.

This is Reaganomics [1], but for speakers. There's just a handful of audiophiles that would be replacing their speakers every year, so there would be hardly any "downflow" of quality second-hand speakers.

And repairability just means that the industry can move people from manufacturing to service and support.

if I don't have to replace basic electronic every year, then I have that budget to 'enlarge' my interest. I might get into audiophile, or mechanical keyboard.

that's another way to sell more than one speaker every 10 years.
