I've heard good things about these but, is it even possible to replace the batteries in these in about 4 or 5 years when it stops holding charge for more than 3 minutes? Already went through it with the Samsung ones. Not going through it again unless I'm sure they're at least repairable.

neither these, nor any wireless earbud, ive ever seen comes with easy self/shop-repairable batteries. wireless earbuds are pretty much an expected perishable item. the batteries will fail. such is the nature of rechargeable batteries. it's really just a question of when. get a name brand and you're looking at several years until it happens. but a 3-5 year life cycle for earbuds isnt altogether terrible. new tech gets developed and gets implemented. higher quality codecs get implemented, new versions of bluetooth, bigger/better batteries, new features, ANC with various mode improvements, etc. So i tend to look forward to the 3-5 year mark, after my earbuds have done all theyve can, and the drivers begin to fail/fry and the battery in 1 ear fails before the other, I just see it as its' inevitable end and a time to see what new tech/improvements have come to market. Just pick the budget you're ok with burning every 3-5 years and you'll be good.
As for these particular earbuds, I was very close to picking up a pair, but ended up not (opting to go for the Oneplus 4 buds BF deal). From reviews i saw, the Nothing ear 3s seem to be pretty good overall, but they really shine if you need the Supermic that's been implemented in the charging case for clearer, better mic for calls and such. If you make alot of calls, or sit on discord all day on your phone with buddies, I could see the appeal.
A more V shaped signature for those who like that in their music, good open soundstage after personal ear calibration, a bit bass-y, some EQ-ing has been removed compared to the original Nothing Ear (1), so you dont get quite the granularity as previous iterations. The mids and upper mids are a bit recessed.

You can't be serious? How many high end earbuds have easily replaceable batteries in them? These ear buds are fire. I've had them for a few years.
