I have the old model that I bought because I am quite happy with my Fairphone 5 and also because I am a proud beta soyboy.
And oh boy, are they shit. I'm on the third pair, after returning 2 shortly after I got them because the right earbud stopped working in 2 slightly different ways.
My current pair recently started making a faint clicking noise in... You guessed it: The right earbud. After less than a year of light use. And people complain of poor sound quality when I use the mic on calls.
It's great that you can replace the batteries and all and I have no issues recommending Fairphone, but I can't recommend their earbuds.
I will likely look to Samsung when I grow tired of the clicking noises.
The new Sennheiser Momentums claim to have user-replaceable batteries fwiw.
I appreciate the reality check.
I'd say check on the new model once it drops and see if reviews are better after a year or so.
