Fairphone Launches Repairable, Recycled Earbuds to Challenge Tech Industry Norms
-
Fairbuds are made with 70% recycled and fair materials, with recycled rare earth elements and tin, to be more sustainable than typical wireless earbuds.
-
They feature easily replaceable batteries in both the earbuds and charging case to extend product lifespan, using common tools like a screwdriver.
-
Design prioritizes repairability over aesthetics - they're bulkier and less elegant than competitors like AirPods Pro.
-
Sound quality is decent but lacks dynamism compared to rivals; there are some audio customization options in the app.
-
Priced at €149, Fairbuds aim to challenge industry norms of disposability and set an example for more ethical, sustainable technology.
