I hope they do a true wireless earbuds set. Those tend to need repairing much more frequently.

- dghlsakjg 3y agoThey already have a TWS set. Not repairable sadly https://shop.fairphone.com/en/true-wireless-stereo-earbuds https://shop.fairphone.com/en/true-wireless-stereo-earbuds
- martin_a 3y agoThey already have those: https://shop.fairphone.com/de/accessories/true-wireless-stereo-earbuds https://shop.fairphone.com/de/accessories/true-wireless-ster... While I don't see spare parts for those, they claim to be "100% electronic waste neutral". Probably much harder/impossible to repair due to the form factor though, not sure.
- MivLives 3y agoThey have a 1/10 from iFixit on the repairability score.
- CameronNemo 3y agoAre there wireless eaebuds with a better score? I imagine the form factor is quite limiting.

- Aachen 3y agoNot their only goal btw. Besides repairability, they also source from sustainable mines/suppliers (so far as reasonably possible, given that virtually nobody else creates demand for such a thing) with normal wages and such. And recycling is a thing but I'm less read up on what they do there. I still agree that they made a product nobody asked for just so they could get rid of the 3.5mm jack in their latest smartphone, until today that is (first time I see someone ask for fair earbuds!), but I do want to give them credit for their overall mission beyond just repairability.
- CameronNemo 3y agoFrom what I've heard from the small android phone project... No OEM even has new base designs that include a 3.5mm jack.
