New Fairbuds XL released. With better sound, more comfortable and sustainable materials, and backwards compatible components (you can upgrade your older version). And same price.

Yes I have the ear buds and they're the only buds i would buy since they have replacable batteries and don't become e-waste the moment that dies.

The bass is amazing however in the default EQ setting the highs are severely lacking. I was able to fix this with a custom eq and now the sound is good however don't expect HiFi quality. The drivers kind of feel like they are made for bass and a second driver for highs was omitted.

Today I saw that they updated the accompanying app and now the EQ has less sliders so I will have to see if the sound can still be corrected the way I want it.

Edit: These are my first ear buds so I don't have a comparison.

They're doing the Apple/Google/Samsung thing now. Selling you a phone without a headphone jack, while also selling earbuds (or in this case over-ear headphones)

Asked the same question regarding overeara at https://feddit.org/post/22713560.

A mate had experience with the predecessor model.

I regret my last 2 pairs of buds. Wish I got these.

It is their second run at earbuds. The first, released with the first phone that they didn't have the 3.5mm jack on (fairphone 4) were promptly discarded, unsupported, and ewaste.

"Fairphone True Wireless Earbuds" for 100€, released November 2021, dropped in October 2023, <2 years from launch. Cheap Anker wireless earbuds are supported longer.

Yes. They're the best earbuds I've ever owned.
