Typically wireless earbuds need to be replaced every few years, but what if there was a way to easily repair them? Meet the Fairphone Fairbuds. Featuring a total of seven spare parts that can be easily replaced, which means if one earbud is lost, you can easily order a replacement.
Fairbuds also enable users to replace the batteries in both the earbuds and the modular charging case. These replaceable batteries are key to long-lasting earbuds, as decreasing battery life is one of the major reasons that people throw away otherwise working earbuds. As for the earbuds themselves, they feature titanium-coated 11mm drivers, complete with active noise-canceling (ANC), six onboard microphones, and multi-point Bluetooth connectivity that allows two devices to connect simultaneously. On a full charge, you can expect up to 26 hours of continuous playback with the charging case, while its IP54 rating means the earbuds can easily withstand sweat and weather. Available now in Europe, priced at around $160 USD.
- Custom acoustic platform delivers powerful, balanced sound
- Control your sound with two distinct listening modes: Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) and Transparency mode
- Three soft ear tip sizes for a stable and comfortable fit while ensuring an optimum acoustic seal
With the launch of the Fairbuds, we are leading the industry by example yet again. We are combining premium quality and longevity, bringing sustainability to the audio segment. The Fairbuds we are launching today are built to last and are made with 70% fair and recycled materials. We provide a unique extended three year warranty as well, to help extend the use of the earbuds for as long as possible. With our new Fairbuds, we want to continue to expand Fairphone’s customer base. Based on the Fairbuds XL app downloads, we see that 70% of Fairbuds XL customers were new to Fairphone!,” said Reinier Hendriks, CEO at Fairphone.
