Fairphone Fairbuds Repair

The Fairphone Fairbuds are the successor to the unfortunately-unrepairable Fairphone True Wireless Earbuds. This time around, Fairphone has delivered high-quality and highly-repairable wireless earbuds that have interchangeable batteries in the charging case and the earbuds themselves. Beyond repairability, the Fairbuds boast active noise cancellation, 11 mm titanium-coated speaker drivers, and a unique app that lets users customize their audio preferences.

The Fairphone Fairbuds can be identified primarily by its square-shaped charging case that prominently says "Fairphone" on the lid. There is also a single screw on the bottom of the charging case that holds the outer shell to the charging core. The earbuds themselves are circular with no printed logos.

The Fairphone Fairbuds come in two colors: Black and White
