Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets - Lemmy.World

But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don’t do this not because they can’t but because they don’t want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.

Meh.

Overpriced.

I can buy 3 or 4 pairs of BT5 earphones for the price of these.

My most expensive pair currently was $75.

I’ve never had batteries go bad in them - they get broken well before that happens. Though I have a noise canceling headset from 2006 that still works. Battery lasts long enough.

I’d rather break a pair of $30 earphones, and have multiple spares than a single pair of $150.

And they all sound about the same given the source and environment.

While I’m not blaming you, what you’re saying is really the problem in our society.

But their mother’s mother is to blame for their mother!
