In a move that continues its commitment to sustainability, Fairphone is set to release its second-generation true wireless earbuds, the Fairbuds 2, later this year. Following the success of the original Fairbuds launched in April 2024, the Fairbuds 2 promise to enhance the listening experience while upholding the ethos of modularity and repairability. Recent leaks have revealed the new earbuds will be available in striking green and classic black colors.

The Fairbuds 2 feature a noticeable design update with stems, a significant change from the sleek design of its predecessor. Additionally, the charging case appears bulkier, raising the possibility of a larger battery capacity compared to the original's 500mAh. This enhancement could lead to improved battery life for users who prioritize long listening sessions.
While detailed specifications and pricing for the Fairbuds 2 have yet to be officially announced, it’s reasonable to expect the same replaceable part feature that distinguishes Fairphone products. The original Fairbuds allowed users to replace all major components, including batteries and silicone tips, using just a Phillips screwdriver and a prying tool, aligning perfectly with Fairphone's mission of reducing electronic waste.
