    Awesome, but I’m skeptical. Not because it’s Fairphone, but because previous bad experiences.

    I bought Sony buds, after reading loads of reviews and those were the best! They cost me around 300 and what I got was just shit.

    I (still) own a number of lg 800 Bluetooth headsets (those with a thing you wear around your neck) that cost me 50 bucks each, that have better audio quality, louder audio, better noise cancellation, are more comfortable, and after over 4 years still have a battery life of around 10 hours where those huge ass Sony ones cut out new after like 3-4 hours and they died after 1,5 years. I think those wearable bugs are just too small to be any good at all.

      https://scarbir.com/ is my go-to for TWS reviews.

      You can get decent TWS buds without paying tons of money. I currently have the Soundcore Space A40, and the battery still lasts for 6-7h after almost two years of constant use (8-10h brand new).

      If you’re paying over $100, you’re probably overpaying.

        Oh yeah, I overpaid badly. Well, my employer did anyway as theyg pidfor it, I just selected what supposedly was the best. It sucked.
