Fairbuds 2 Launch Details
Fairphone is set to launch its new Fairbuds 2 wireless earbuds on October 14th. The company confirmed details about the upcoming release, which follows earlier leaks and an official teaser. The Fairbuds 2 will initially be available in Europe for €119, with a subsequent US release priced at $119.
Focus on Repairability
The Fairbuds 2 maintain Fairphone's emphasis on repairability, a characteristic of the original Fairbuds. The new model will feature seven fully replaceable and modular parts, allowing users to repair components rather than replace the entire device. This design approach aims to extend the product's lifespan.
Enhanced Audio Capabilities
A notable upgrade in the Fairbuds 2 is the expanded Bluetooth capabilities. The new earbuds will include support for Sony’s high-resolution and adaptive LDAC codec. This is an improvement over the original Fairbuds, which only supported SBC and AAC codecs.
Pricing and Availability
The Fairbuds 2 will launch at €119 in Europe and $119 in the US. For comparison, the first-generation Fairbuds were priced at €149 at their 2024 debut, equivalent to approximately $162 at the time, but have since seen a price reduction to $99.99 in the US market.
