Repairable earbuds are now here, so that's pretty cool. https://shop.fairphone.com/fairbuds

It's not for me because I like wired but it's much better than apples.

Ugh. Gross I hate the in ear canal things. Absolutely the worst.

My problème is that all the non apple ear phones wireless suck. Iike the plain basic airpods for the ear fit. Not because apple.

How are Apple’s AirPods not “in ear canal things”?

Downvotes shall list better headphones.

I myself have not found a better solution.

I like apple headphones and i settled on similar shaped non-apple brand at a fraction af the price, but it is lower in quality compared to apple. Microphone is crap and I stopped trying to use it. Headphones level is good at low level and high level sound reproduction, but it is not as accurate as apple.

In the end the trade off is worth it to me for the price, but i will not claim at is better.

So, bring on your alternative and price of it.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 (Pro)? I am not an "audiophile" at all so I cannot judge whether they are going to be satisfactory to all those people that imagine they can hear certain tiny frequency contributions (which they cannot, the "audiophile" community is just delusional), but they've served me well for the past two years.

(which they cannot, the “audiophile” community is just delusional)

I don't consider myself an audiophile, but I'm still offended on their behalf.

Having said that, after futzing a bit with the eq I do love my Buds 2 Pro.

Ugh, i hate people that think only their view of the world is valid.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don't agree with them, but I also didnt read that they thought others weren't valid. They seemed like they were just expressing that this isn't a good option for them (or people like them)

I mean, "all" is a pretty absolute statement.

Huh, no shipping to the US it seems. I guess I'll be waiting for a while then.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They are planning to extend. I wouldn't hold my breath though until they give a solid date.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Yup. They finally released the Fairphone after years, but it's only the Fairphone 4, through a reseller, and only supports T-Mobile and its MVNOs.

So yeah, not sure if/when they'll ship the buds to US customers.
