A new leak in connection to the Fairphone Fairbuds XL earbuds points to an imminent launch of the earbuds. The Fairphone Fairbuds XL will probably debut in Europe and the leak includes pricing for the device. The Fairphone Fairbuds XL is made from eco-friendly materials.
The Fairbuds XL is made from recyclable
materials and it has a similar design as the Fairphone 4 with black and green
color options. The Fairbuds XL is rumored to come with accessories like its
battery and drivers that have replacement parts. Fairphone hopes to reduce its
carbon footprint via its electronic waste. It is an innovative approach in the
wireless and audio accessories segment of the market.
The repairability rating of the Fairphone
Fairbuds XL is not yet known. It is however expected to offer replacement
accessories of different kinds like its battery, drivers, and other key
components. The headphones have removable earcups but this may not
significantly improve their repairability. It is expected that the Fairphone
Fairbuds XL will come with support for active noise cancellation. The earbuds
have two physical buttons but their purpose is not yet known. It is also
unclear whether the earbuds will feature gesture-based volume and media
controls.
While the specific release date for the
Fairbuds XL is not known at this time, the new detail could mean an imminent
launch for the headphones. The Fairbuds XL is already listed on some online
retail outlets and its Europe launch price is € 249 (US$ 272). There are still
several details lacking on the Fairphone Fairbuds XL and we expect more from
Fairphone as its release draws closer.
