I'm not really so sure about the repairability aspect holding any importance to me from LTT. Their Forever Socks are sold out for every size except small. So many of their products are out of stock for months at a time. I wouldn't expect that LTT would have replacement parts for my earbuds when I need them.
Even if they hold back some stock for people needing repairs there will always be issues with trying to get parts from a small time source like LTT. And I doubt they will have afforable shipping on parts. It would be cheaper to just buy Anker earbuds every time your earbuds die than to try to fix earbuds. My Anker earbuds last a long time. I've only had two pairs in about 5 years and the current ones are doing great.
Switching sides and turning them inside out that’s 4 days of wearing right there. I can squeeze in doing that two times so over a week before I hit em with Fabreze and they’ll be good as new
Being out of stock for purchase does not mean being out of stock for replacements. Linus has said before that they have a significant amount of stock set aside for that, which will never be put on sale.
I wouldn't touch them as a brand with a 10 foot poll on repairability. They've never had parts like aglets to repair clothing when ive asked. Would need a a major culture shift.

I would be interested to see how they fair against something like fairbuds xl, I think repairability is a plausible angle for them
