Bose has repair service. It isn't self-service, so it depends if your goal is throwing less shit away, or being able to service your own devices.

‘Repair service’ often just means they’ll throw it away for you and ship you a new one.

I think it depends a lot on the product. Their aviation headsets and other non-consumer audio equipment gets repaired for sure

I'm familiar with Bose's repair service. This is not the same as Fairbuds, and does not meet the minimum requirements stipulated.

If you're going to be picky, you have to be specific.

Do you mean self-serviceable rather than just serviceable?
