    Is that why they got rid of the headphone jack on the Fairphone 4?

      Firstly, I didn’t know they got rid of the headphone hack. Second, they could have made their own wired headphones, or even include them with the phone. Third, I was planning on getting one so now I’m thinking of getting a previous phone.

      Yes. 100%. They removed the headphone jack at the same time they introduced their Bluetooth buds.

    I have some of these headphone. They are good and I love supporting a company making things repairable.

    It’s on mine too now. That said the Amazon reviews are a bit concerning. Sound quality and control sensitivity seem to be the main issues.

      Ah damn it, have to read more into those reviews before I make a buy decision. Really wanna get them and support such a company (but still don’t want a prototype-like product).

        The thing is, apart from internal testers, customers have to test these prototype-like products too, for the company to get somewhere from feedback🫠

      It will be on mine as well now! Here’s to hoping this boosts their sales and these kinds of companies gain traction!
