@iFixit@mastodon.social Just out of interest, have you tested AIAIAI audio?

@iFixit@mastodon.social But they are called 'buds'? How large will Fairphone's full-size headphones be?

@iFixit@mastodon.social it will soon be time to start rating phones for how easily they accept #customROM (s) given #google (s) intent to lock down third party app stores for android like #fdroid ... this is a real "repair" situation for many people.

@iFixit@mastodon.social actually quality devices from Sennheiser and the like have spareparts like forever. Where is the news?

@iFixit@mastodon.social Worldwide partner is Amazon which sells them for US$ 229.99, delivery to Salem, Oregon: tomorrow. https://www.amazon.com/Fairphone-Headphones-Cancelling-Weatherproof-Replaceable/dp/B0G3BBB581/ref=dp_prsubs_d_sccl_1/134-9797055-8779513?pd_rd_w=cTO7t&content-id=amzn1.sym.a1c22caf-2d4a-4c58-b920-210b8f6b9234&pf_rd_p=a1c22caf-2d4a-4c58-b920-210b8f6b9234&pf_rd_r=WVCNEG9G9FV1131HY1CZ&pd_rd_wg=6BaBd&pd_rd_r=9c06aec0-1fe0-45e3-8c4c-24780f4fc218&pd_rd_i=B0G3BBB581&th=1 Doesn't look like Amazon carries the phones which may not be built/designed for the US market?

@iFixit@mastodon.social buds or headphones? 🤔

@iFixit@mastodon.social 10/10 is incredible — this is what the right-to-repair movement looks like in practice! More brands need to follow this blueprint. Congrats to Fairbuds!

@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk@mastodon.social 2026-05-07 17:53
@iFixit@mastodon.social nice! I literally just had to go looking for new covers for my headphones because the plastic ones disintegrated, so this is relevant to me.

@SkylerHandler@woof.group 2026-05-07 17:56
@iFixit@mastodon.social I'm not so sure, the Fairbuds had really bad quality
-
@niggoo@mastodon.social 2026-05-07 18:08
@iFixit@mastodon.social Certainly my next pair once my trusty Sonys die 👍

@howrd@veganism.social 2026-05-07 18:22
@iFixit@mastodon.social Fantastic headphones! I've used mine every day for over a year and have no complaints. Great sound. Easy to upgrade and repair.
-
@lethe@digitalcourage.social 2026-05-07 19:13
@iFixit@mastodon.social Just got a pair about 2 months ago! Hopefully I won't have to do any repairs soon, but it's good to know that it's possible.
-
@jackeric@beige.party 2026-05-07 19:25
@iFixit@mastodon.social this is relevant to my interests, as my noise-cancelling headphones last about six months before developing a fault or breaking apart

@Jhelberg@mastodon.social 2026-05-07 19:31
@iFixit@mastodon.social you could have tested the original made by repeat.audio, strikingly similar, but a few years earlier.
-
@meticu@mastodon.social 2026-05-07 19:39
@iFixit@mastodon.social I had ordered one as a gift a few days before seeing this news. They are great headphones. I'll be ordering myself a pair as well.

@Unfoldedmemory000@mastodon.social 2026-05-07 20:37
@iFixit@mastodon.social i bought thoese, and they are great!

@drewtowler@mas.to 2026-05-08 02:35
@iFixit@mastodon.social Shame you can't buy them in most of the world.
-
@kaffeeringe@social.tchncs.de 2026-05-08 09:49
@iFixit@mastodon.social I just sat on mine and a piece broke. I instantly ordered a replacement piece and not a week later it was fixed.

@elduvelle@neuromatch.social 2026-05-08 12:59
@iFixit@mastodon.social This makes me wonder.. How many pairs of headphones or "buds" did y'all buy from new in, say, the last 5 years?

@sammypanda@aus.social 2026-05-08 21:53
@iFixit@mastodon.social im gonna get as much life as i can trying to maintain what ive got before considering these. But, if i fail in that these will likely be good! ..unless they dont do their upgrades to it backwards compatible, if thats the case then the obsolesence thing is still there and i probably wouldnt bother -- i already generally manage to keep things over 10 years when upgrades can be reasonably considered (except stupid smartphones 👹👹👹) something like these, if they provide decent upgraded parts in 10 years from release that could easily mean for me a 20 year product 🙌 i dont have confidence in Fairphone to deliver that though yet 🫠
