At a time when the electronics industry is constantly luring consumers into buying the latest and most advanced devices, Amsterdam-based Fairphone has made a name for itself by doing the exact opposite.<\/p>\n

Best known for its sustainably-made, modular, and repairable (DIY style) smartphones, the startup<\/a> is now applying the same ethos to another product segment: headphones.<\/p>\n

The newly-launched Fairbuds XL<\/a> are a pair of over-ear wireless headphones, priced at \u20ac249. Much like the company\u2019s smartphones, they\u2019re sold mainly in Europe, although some authorised resellers ship to other parts of the world as well.<\/p>\n

The Fairbuds XL come with a 30 hour battery life, 40mm dynamic drivers for sound quality, and active noise cancellation. They also feature a USB-C connector for charging, a 10m Bluetooth range, and smart assistants capabilities.<\/p>\n

But their most impressive element is undoubtedly the design. The modular headphones<\/a> consist of nine components\/potential spare parts: battery, speaker to speaker cable, earcap covers, headband, ear cushion, headband base, speakers, and headband cover.<\/p>\n
