Just the idea of using standard connectors in non-standard ways in hidden areas that most wouldn't usually access is something I want to see more. Even simple stuff like that being entirely possible should be adopted more for repairability's sake.

It's cool and novel but idk man, I have never broken headphones like that. I chucked a pair of sony xm3 (older model of the xm4 i forgor what is called)on the concrete and all that broke was the frame. Snapped in half but the wires inside were fine and I functioned normally aside from the obvious not fitting the head. Not to say all are like that but...

@ohnoes9608

@basicallyhuman Eh, that's not that clear cut. Fairphone can do this on this product because they intentionally went for a bulky look. If they were going for lightweight exercise gear or just slimmer looking gear having everything be easily repairable with big screws, chonky plastic and three separate PCBs wouldn't be so trivial. While these headphones are great there is still a space for more complex and "boundary pushing" stuff. IMO what sets Fairphone apart isn't the speckled plastic or big screws, but rather the amazing, consumer facing and widely advertised availability of parts and repair guides. If a company gives me the necessary parts and guides to repair my products I can tolerate the products being complex and somewhat hard to work with in the name of lightness, compactness or some other intresting design quality. The blatant obfuscation of parts availability and information is a far bigger issue, and unlike "don't design small things" it's something that's possible to regulate and do something about.

@@idiotically-everything Okay, I gotta admit that I use mine indoor only so I have no idea how the Beyerdynamics behave in such situations, but the headband is made of imitation leather so I guess it wouldn't be a problem. Although, to be fair, if you wear them outside, you might replace your headband more often than once in 10 years even with the DT770 Pros since the fake leather still cracks and flakes off in those cracks over time - mostly due to the fact that the headband has to compress constantly if your head isn't large enough for the max. size setting.

Nah! Nigga

We can theoretically design our own custom 3D printable headbands just by having the cups removable and replaceable, that in itself is INSANE.

This is also a great way to teach kids how technology works first hand. I remember back in the day taking not so repairable electronics apart as a kid, and couldn't put it back together. With a little help you could learn how your phone works for example and hopefully figure out how it goes back together or ask someone :)

Thats actually a pretty smart idea

This is so awesome! A lot of wireless earphones end up as e-waste because the batteries which naturally degrade overtime aren’t user replaceable(or even replaceable at all). Thanks Fairbuds!

Definitely, the last few headphones that I had always broke because of the cable the connects both sides, ending with only 1 side working. So being able to replace the cable (though this one looks more durable) with all the other replace components, makes this a win for me. Hope they end up selling this in the US if they succeed with the fairphone.

First full length video from you that I’ve seen! I’ve watched mostly your shorts but I like how you go straight to the point, looking forward to get one of those and watch more of this videos, love your work!💙

Keep up the good work. + I didn't know Fairphone would actually do this

This is definitely going to put the big name headphone brands on their toes. I definitely see these becoming a big hit. I would 100% buy these.

Love the energy in your videos❤️

I dont usually watch your full videos, but I enjoy how your energy from the shorts carries over

I want to see more devices with user removable batteries, this is amazing!

I absolutely love what fairphone is doing, and while their phones are not for me, these headphones sound like excellent replacements for my soundcore q30 headphones that I currently have.

I am starting to become a fan of the Fairphone and Fairbuds. But unfortunately it's expensive on my area.

Great video! I kind of wish you would do an audio test before and after the tear down and reasembly. In my experience with tinkering with things, speakers don't alway sound the same after opening them up. I'm sure these would since they are made too, but the ones that are not made to be opened up and require prying often don't.

I am being so serious when i say this, my jaw literally DROPPED when i saw a removable battery in a pair of headphones. made my week so much better 😭

Now this is some serious competition

Love the idea, I wonder what the sound quality is like , I would want to try a pair before I bought them

The replacable batery was one major incentive for me to buy Bang & Olufsen H9i 4 years back. Still holding very well

Im going to buy them as soon as I can. I love having the option to repair stuff. Apple needs to be more like them

They do look nice but are a bit pricey compared to other premium headphones. It's great to see total reparability on a product however there are other headphones with removable batteries too. Not sure about the sound demo but if the sound quality can match the premium headphones then they are a sure win. Plus the total reparability opens up an avenue of opportunities.

@professorflaw3389 well, even i found what I said after a while harder to believe. But i charged my headphones to hundred(almost, it wasn't full), and I started to time how much I used them and how much the battery levels were At start, it showed 90%, cause it wasn't full like i said(so somewhere bw 90-100), and after 2 and a half hours on my laptop and another three on my phone they now show 70%(70-80), after I connected them this morning. So that's about 20% in 5:30 minutes. I call that amazing for three year old headphones tbh. The model is boat rockerz 510, and they're extremely cheap headphones.

For wireless headphones, sound quality, ANC, and mic quality are prioritised. These don't come close to the Sony XM5s or the Bose QC 45s, but it's nice to see them excel in repairability.

This is why I love my beyerdynamic dt900 pro x! They're wired so they dont have a removable battery, but everything else is user replacable, and beyerdynamic sells all the spare parts for reasonable prices!

Every device must be engineered as those headphones, as much as possible. Standard easy replaceable connectors, removable batteries, easy replaceable boards and components, SCREWS ONLY, NO GLUE etc....

Hey, can you please make a video of what happens when your AirPods touch water and what you are supposed to do? Thank you!

Very loving this concept, wish them success

You should use a reference headphone when trialing which would set a baseline to compare. Refreshing to see a different approach in headphones, I would be sold if they can make an external charger for the batteries

If there is a charging station for the battery and the sound is good, I know what I’m gonna buy when my head phones break.

Apple employee watching the video be like: We can but we won't 😂

This opens huge opportunity for customization, I have the same feeling for the sound quality though, it's like the in-ear of Skullcandy buds, passable, but not HiFi

I would LOVE it if my Bose QC 35 ii headphones had a battery that was that easy to replace! Got them on sale a couple years ago and still absolutely loving them, but even though they work perfectly right now I know eventually they’ll need a new battery - which I can’t replace. Hope to see this feature in more headphones soon!

The only things this is truly missing is that it doesn't have a way to use them wired and it doesn't have an easy way to charge them. On that second point I have a pair of wireless but not Bluetooth headphones that have like a base station and you just set the headphones on the base station and they start charging. The batteries are also removable and you can buy them at any retail store Just look for the ones with AAA on them.

Parrot headphones had this removable batteries years ago. Many cheap headphones also have batteries that you can easily desolder and open the earcup with screws.

Not a fan of the price but with how it looks so easy to replace parts I can see that lasting a long time. I wish it did come with an audio cable for us that still use a audio jack some times. I like having options.

it can be interesting if they make the usb cable easy to pop out from one side and connect it to wall for charing, along with a dedicated usb c port

Thr fact theyre connected with a usb cable makes me just eager to see the modifications people make to these

loved the video, now I just hope to see dankpods do a review too, as seeing two of my favorite tech chanels review the same product would be cool

I will definitely check them out!

This just stole me heart . Last time I tried to repair my super cheap headsets and it was hard and With every screw removed I was at the risk of breaking something. This is cool.!

Ayy, that usb c cable connecting the headphones could probably be customisable. I could see different variations of that being sold in different colours and stuff

Yea I'm buying those headphones ASAP

Here In Brazil we have Kuba audio Disco 1 and 2, it is a modular headphone.

Fairbuds look really cool in both senses

For audio comparison could you get a pair of hd 600, they are quite well known and make it much easier to compare, alternatively a pair of HD 58X would also do the job well

reminds me of the 90s when everything was easily serviceable

Bring this to the U.S. Fairhope. This is so needed. Sustainable and repairable = affordable and upgradeable over time.

Wish they would be available to the US already!

This is the trend that we need to support!

love the repairability. but replaceable battery is more of a concern for tws since they degrade faster due to smaller size and more charge cycles. perhaps a fair-tws in the future

Once again. Great vid the editing is fire the oh my god wow got me 😂😂😂

Wow ty for the tip and my day😊

There's a Brazilian Headphone called Kuba Disco and has the same concept, you should take a look, it's yay easier to repair and has 5 years of warranty.

Yo PRG, I liked your turning into usb-c every device that you use, can you please continue it? It would be really cool to turn your iPhone usb-c

I just realised that depending on your preference you can change the side that the controls are on

It's nice it has IP rating at all (IP54) splash and dust resistant

The replaceable cable could actually be one of the best features.
