Fairphone’s latest repairable earbuds are smaller, lighter, and longer-lasting

“The Fairbuds 2 have been redesigned from the ground up, moving to a stemmed design, available in black or green, and a case that’s 37 percent smaller than the first generation. Despite that shrinking hardware, Fairphone has almost doubled the buds’ battery life, which now totals 40 hours without active noise cancellation, with eight hours on the buds alone, dropping to six with ANC on. Charging is over USB-C, and takes a couple hours for a full top-up. Sadly Qi wireless charging isn’t supported — though it isn’t on Apple’s $129 AirPods 5 either.” I know I’ve mentioned this before, and keep repeating it, but I will never forget my pretty expensive Apple AirPods dying about a month or so past their warranty date. I’ve since bought other brands which has lasted much longer. But I get real peace of mind if batteries can be removed so easily for replacement. These earbuds also have ANC, which is now a minimum requirement for me. They’re not going to be competing with Sennheiser or other…
