    Interesting! Wireless earbuds are usually very unreliable, so this is a nice change. But that also means these could be an improvement still without being very relatable. I’ll check it out!

    Edit: disregard this comment, I thought it said that just announced the most reparable ear bud, not nerfed it. I’ll check out the original xm3 and 4 instead of the 5

      Yeah I’ve had so much bad luck with wireless buds. Wish they were a little more consistent for SKUs that arrent like 100+ dollars

        I can’t find the newsletter/blogpost but I did read that fairphone are apparently looking at making their earbuds more repairable than they are currently, which is good.

        I have WF-1000XM3’s right now that are still running fine, dont really use them much so the battery degradation is a non issue for me at the moment, but when it is I’m happy enough to attempt a battery replacement when the time comes.
