Can confirm, typing this on a FP6 I pre-ordered.
's headphones, but its a start!
you killed my hopes so damn quickly.
Mine broke yesterday. The headband base part unfortunately has a weak point and can snap out of nowhere under very minimal force (e.g. taking the headphones off your head, as happened to me). Hopefully it’s an issue Fairphone has looked into and fixed, mine were a secondhand pair purchased a year ago so I’m not sure if there have been changes made since (seems maybe not, based on this recent thread). The replacement part appears to be exactly the same, but unfortunately because I’m in Australia it’s too much money and effort to get two (it snapped at the same time on both sides) sent out via parcel forwarding (which, to be fair, I knew when I bought them). Hopefully I can 3D print some replacement parts because they are really good headphones otherwise, especially for the price I paid.
Mine broke twice in 3 years, exactly the same part. Not sure if I want to repair them a third time. I love the idea that you can repair everything, but at some point it’s just too expensive with the shipping and all.
I have a big head, so every pair of headphones I’ve used will eventually break there. At least these can be repaired.
It seems to be a fairly common problem on cheaper/mid-range headphones with plastic builds. I had some Shure SRH840s about a decade ago and they broke in a very similar fashion, but it was too difficult and expensive to repair them. Since then, I’ve only bought headphones that are fully modular and user-repairable. My main pair is the AIAIAI TMA-2 Studio, I’ve replaced several parts on them over the years (including the headband which lasted a long time but eventually broke last year).
Damn this was quite literally the only selling point. They’re bulky, overpriced, fake environmentalism, and not good for privacy. All they could possibly have going over GOS is a jack. Fuck me
I’m continually appalled at the state of the global android scene just kill it off already. Everyone become Chinese
fake environmentalism
How so?
What about Canada, we are now a sperated market even if neighbors.
I was just starting to think that I might need a new phone soon, now I know I’ll be looking forward to this!
