Fairphone – the company whose easily repairable, eco-friendly phone we really wish we could afford – has just created easily repairable, eco-friendly wireless over-ear #headphones
"After four generations of modular smartphones, Fairphone is turning its repairable design smarts to headphones. Meet the Fairbuds XL, a €249 (£219) pair of over-ear wireless noise-canceling headphones that are designed to be easy to repair when parts break or wear out over time. They’re available from today in European markets, but much like Fairphone’s existing smartphones, they won’t be sold in the US."
Does anyone know if one can buy a replacement headband for the AKG K371 headphones? Literally just the silicone part that goes between the top of your head and the headphones, which covers the internal wire. This is easily removable. Searches have so far not returned much useful info. #audio #headphones
My ATH-M50XBT #headphones just had one of the buttons break after three years of use and my #repair attempt was a failure. Any suggestions for around-ear #bluetooth headphones which I might hope to serve me for a long time? I hate having to buy new electronics when old gear breaks.
I still don't understand why I am enjoying listening to music with my Grado SR-80x #headphones. They are, objectively, not as good as the HD500's I have sitting right here. But it seems Grado has unlocked some mystery to sound profiles that tickles my ears...
