Description

With the Fairbuds XL Green + BlueBuilt Quick Charge Charger with USB-A Port 18W Black, you can listen to music in an environmentally conscious way. They're made of recycled materials, so these headphones contribute to the environment. The ear cushions and the headband are also made of vegan leather. This makes the Fairbuds an environmentally-friendly choice. You can shut out ambient noise thanks to the noise canceling. With a push of the button on the ear cup, you can turn the noise canceling on or off. This way, you keep control over the noise canceling. The headphones have a 30-hour battery life. Thanks to this long battery life, you're almost never without music. You can adjust the music with the Fairbuds app. For example, the bass reproduction or treble.

Note: Fairphone doesn't include a charging cable. Use your own USB-C cable or purchase it separately.

Solid headset, nice design

Built to be repairable, hoping to keep it very long
Talks a bit too much

Nice and comfortable, keeping them on for 2ish hours at a time (my limit) is no problem. Controls with the joystick are nice. It makes a sound when I skip forward which I don't like. Also not sure about ANC being on by default. I'd prefer keeping the last setting used.

The Best Headphones I have had in a while.

Solid
Can charge while being used
Great to wear
The joystick does not always pause media

I bought these headphones because I was tired of breaking hinges on similar headphones and having to look for another giant pair of headphones. I had suspected that they would at best, be as good as any mid-range over the head headphones. I am shocked to report, they are much better than almost any pair of headphones I have ever had. They feel fantastic to wear with just the right amount of tightness. They have features that are practical for me, such as working when they are charging and being able to choose if the Noise cancelling is on or off.

As for the sound, I am starting to really enjoy my music again. Music on these sound great and are matched perfectly to what I at least like. I normally listen to podcasts with my headphones. They do alright at this. Sometimes, especially with the wrong eq settings, voices can sound a bit distorted.

There are two littler problems I have had with them so far. The first and more serious is that I haven't quite figured out how to use the joystick right. It is inconsistent at pausing and starting YouTube videos I listen to. I am not sure if this is a software thing or how I make the joystick lean when I press the button. It is a nice metal piece but I wish it worked better. The second one is that I really have not enjoyed watching the slow death of the AUX port and these headphones do not have one. Due to the repairability, it was worth the sacrifice. You can use USB-C just like an AUX port as well. This is just a principled matter for me.

I have had maybe 5 or 6 headsets in the last 5 years. These are by far my favorites out of the bunch. You might be looking at them for the sustainability angle, but the truth is you are getting some of the best headphones out there as well.
