it’s pretty obvious that they only removed the headphone jack on their phone so they could sell more of these
Why is anytime when anything by Fairphone is posted, everyone acts as if they were the first and only company who did that sort of thing? They’d keep the jack and sell wired headphones if that was such a massive business.
I dunno, people seem to have a real hard-on for pissing over Fairphone, in a totally weird way. And this travelled over from Reddit. And I know the majority of /r/android has long been Samsung fanbois, but sometimes it gets ridiculous. 😅
Back to the actual topic at hand, wow they’re chunkers. Ouff. Since I have a comparatively small head these would look pretty weird on me I imagine. But OTOH, damn is it impressive to build earbuds - a device usually filled with glue - with a user-replaceable battery. I kinda want to support them assuming I need new headphones any time soon.

I hope these people don’t find out that the Framework 16 notebook got rid of an on-board headphone jack and moved to a USB-C adapter as well. There might be riots.

Fuck, I have a Samsung phone (from work, not actually mine but private use permitted) and Fairbuds XL. I use products from both companies on a daily basis. Which camp to I have to join now?

Can’t you still buy a headphone jack, though? Which to me is actually cool. Consistency, the more modular the better.

Ah, I’m sorry to inform you but the company shill police is on their way. You will be re-indoctrinated, probably for Apple.
Because the entire point of fairphone is to not do those sorts of things. I’d rather not see them go the way of enthusiast phones and use greenwashing to get them popular so they can turn around and be another unethical smartphone giant. It’s worthwhile to call them out on stuff like this.

And there I am thinking the point of Fairphone was to not waste resources manufacturing components that only few people even want.
Maybe it’s both. How come your okay with them making people throw away their perfectly good headphones?
