I am looking at getting one as my next phone when my Pixel 7 reaches EOL. Hopefully the Fairphones are still around by then and hopefully they get more support from custom ROMs. I know CalyxOS supports the Fairphone 4

      I used to think that too. Then i got some wireless ones. I spent way more money getting replacement wired headphones and adapters than replacing my wireless ones. Only thing is, you gotta charge em.

        This is the opposite for me because I keep losing them if I don’t put them immediately back in their charging case. But I don’t like bringing it wherever I go, so that’s the only draw back imo.

      Why do you think so? My wireless Samsung Buds are about 2 years old and they are working great, as if new. Meanwhile when I had various wired headphones before that, 2 years was about their top life, mostly because of the cable getting damaged, which you can’t replace anyway. So the argument of battery not being replaceable is totally irrelevant for me, and I think for most other people as well.

      Wired is still an option though thorough an adapter
