I bought the original Galaxy Buds in 2019 because they had both Qi charging and seemed to have reasonably easy to replace internal batteries. (although whether I can source them is another question)
But turns out I haven't had any battery life concerns since. Unfortunately I just lost them somewhere a month or two ago so hoping they turn up soon. :(
