With completely wireless earbuds, the rule is: when the battery fails, they have to be disposed of. Not so with the Fairbuds, that allow you to replace batteries in just a few seconds. Combined with a repairable design, the earbuds should therefore have an extremely long lifetime.

    So… I was more referring to a 3.5mm jack on the phone.

    Commute time is a little over 2hours each way. Office use is 6-8 hours. Listening + calls and needing a microphone.

    Would rather not to have to do the dance for multiple devices and chargers vs just one and a single usb input.

    Some of the bushes busses and trains have a usb but you have to get lucky and then decide what needs charging more…the phone or the buds.

    Give me a wired option any day. Also used less battery power and sounds better.

    edit… typo

      Unrelated, but how do you tolerate that length of commute every day? I’d last 3 days before either looking for a new job or a new house.

        Well… It’s not a commute that I need to do every day. Also I can (to some extent) work on that commute as the majority of it is on an inter-urban train. Timeboxing tasks to 30 mins or an hour can be quite productive. That said, having decent music and or noise blocking configured for your environment helps a lot. I highly recommend these guys - I have their full app and being able to dial just the right frequencies to deal with whatever is bugging you is amazing…

        That said, without my device and quality headphones/iem I wouldn’t be able to tolerate it.
